Hi! I'm Julia. I am a homeschooling Mom to my four fun little people. Our homeschool has elements of Montessori and Charlotte Mason, with a little Waldorf thrown in. We live in Vermont where we have a large kitchen garden and home orchard and are trying to live more seasonally and sustainably. My main goal is to raise good humans. Come join us on our journey!

Here are some other places you can find me!
