Jason & Julie

@jasonandjulie

We are a homeschooling family of 13 who try to fully embrace every bit of the life we have been blessed with. Our early years as a family were lived in the city, but as our family size (and our dreams!) grew we sold that home and bought 16 acres of land in the country where we turned an old workshop into a little home. Our days are now filled with homesteading, delight-directed learning, community building, and living life on purpose. Join us as we document our adventure!
