My name is Jessica.
My wonderful husband, Paul, and I have been married since 2010, and during that time, we’ve welcomed seven beautiful children into our family. We live in Maryland, in a house nestled in the woods.
Homeschooling has given us the freedom to pursue our passion for family travel and everyday learning adventures. I started this blog to share my experiences of raising a large family—the real, the raw, the challenges, the adventures, and the joy.
Every day is a wild adventure with seven young children, and I’ve learned to embrace this beautiful chaos.
Thank you for visiting Gratefully Wild Home—I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m also passionate about encouraging others beyond the blog. Whether it’s sharing our journey on a podcast or speaking to fellow mamas, homeschoolers, or family adventurers, I love connecting through honest conversation and storytelling. 🎤 If you’re looking for a guest speaker, podcast guest, or collaborator who brings heart, humor, and real-life perspective to big family life, faith, and homeschool living — I’d love to connect.
