About

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!

These are a few of my favorite things…

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. We value mindful parenting, intentional homeschooling and slow childhood. Nothing is perfectly executed, but we keep these values as the focus.
