Kristen is a first generation homeschooler to one 7 year old daughter. Kristen, her husband, and daughter love doing life together as "The Three Amigos". She has been educating her child since birth, but took on the role of a homeschool mom 3 years ago.

Kristen is passionate about allowing her daughter's natural curiosity lead the selection of their unit study topics. She started using unit studies fairly quickly and hasn't turned back since. Homeschooling has allowed Kristen's family to follow an unusual school schedule, due to their love for being outdoors in the Fall. Being a first generation stay-at-home mom, homeschooling mom, and mom to one has presented it's own challenges. However, Kristen has enjoyed learning to love where God has placed her and how He is using her in this season.
