Hi, I’m Katie!
Making The Most Of The Little Moments
I’m a wife of 18 years, a mom of six and a second-generation homeschooler. Our homeschool isn’t picture-perfect, but God opened my eyes to see that these ordinary, mundane moments are the most important ones we get. That’s what this little corner of the internet is all about.
Life in the Mundane is one of my favorite recommendations for intentional parents. I love Katie’s positive attitude through all of life’s circumstances and her down-to-earth style of giving us great ideas that make a real difference.
