hello! i’m brooke
Wife, mother, & Home Educator
I’m from a small town on the inner banks of North Carolina, where I spend my days homeschooling and exploring nature with my children. With my B.S. in Psychology, I take a brain-based approach to educating and parenting. My intention is to cultivate a love for learning, preserve my children’s childhood and to raise good humans that will do good things in the world.
I began documenting our unexpected homeschool journey on our Raising Sawyers Instagram page in 2020. It is a curation of our real life experiences, gentle parenting nuggets, Charlotte Mason inspired learning and my experience with motherhood.
Thanks for stopping by!

get to know me
These are a few of my favorite things…
- There’s nothing I love more than curling up on the couch with my little guys, while I read classic literature aloud with a warm cup of herbal tea.
- On any given day you can find us exploring state parks, nature trails and forests around our area. We believe time in nature heals the soul.
- We value mindful parenting, intentional homeschooling and slow childhood. Nothing is perfectly executed, but we keep these values as the focus.
