Bringing Homeschool Joy to Families Everywhere!

Teresa has a degree in Early Childhood Education, a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction, and a Gifted Endorsement.  After 16 years of teaching in public school, Teresa’s family began homeschooling, and  God showed her that academics and discipleship were never meant to be separate.  She wanted her children to see the providence of God in every subject, to see them seek His truth, and to be tethered to His Word.  Teresa is now an empty nester who loves encouraging and edifying homeschool moms.  Right after her youngest graduated from college, a medical scare and victory from God, coupled with her love of learning, teaching, and encouraging others, led her to embark on a new career in thermography and open a holistic wellness center, North Georgia Thermography and Wellness.  Beyond her professional endeavors, Teresa is a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, “a homemaker with a business.”  She loves the outdoors, especially biking, hiking, and kayaking.  Teresa is also fascinated with art and history.  Her mission is to impact others’ lives and give God the glory for her story.

Teresa defines freedom and its impact on history.

True freedom is found in Christ. Warning: America’s biggest threat is biblical illiteracy. We have the responsibility of maintaining freedom.  To keep it, we must honor the Giver and Sustainer.  We must guard it as we guard our hearts, defend it as we defend The Faith, and protect it just as love always protects.

Teresa explains how freedom impacts our lives and what it looks like to have Jesus as our first love.

Freedom from condemnation; Individual Freedom, National Freedom. When educating your children, teach them to be truth seekers, lovers of beauty, and defenders of freedom. Art reflects our culture.

The cross divides history. All things are either looking forward to the cross or looking back at what Jesus has done.
