She desires to get back to the basics, setting aside short cuts and getting in-tune with the ebbs and flows of the seasons of life. She spends her days homeschooling her three older kiddos (while wrangling her youngest), cooking food the traditional way, and blogging about it all along the way. She blogs at Full of Days.
