Author: Laura Anne King

First and foremost, I am a Christian who has a deep love for God. I am married to the love of my life, and we have five daughters together. We are passionate that our daughter's education be centered around a worldview where God exists, so we have chosen to homeschool them. I have a passion for integrating godly principals into everyday life. After all, if we could get advice from the wisest person ever, wouldn't it make sense to go to God? I also love strapping on my tool belt and tackling any type home improvement project from roofing, siding, painting, flooring or decorating. If it saves me money and make my home beautiful, I'm all in! We also love packing up our kids in our camper, and going on adventures with them!
