Hi, I’m Andrea, the heart behind Cheerful Home & Heart.

I’m a former educator with a Master’s in the Art of Teaching, a homeschool mom of nine years, and I’ve spent more than a decade learning how to create a more toxin-free home for my family.

I married my college sweetheart in 2008, and together we’re raising our two boys.

Over the years, our home has become the place where so much of life happens: learning, growing, gathering, and figuring out simpler ways to care for the people we love.

Here at Cheerful Home & Heart, I share what I’ve learned along the way- from homeschooling and toxin-free living to creating a cozy, intentional home.

When I’m not doing that, you’ll usually find me studying the Bible, hiking, or simply hanging out with my family.

My hope is that this little corner of the internet helps you create a home and life that feel a little simpler, healthier, and more joyful.

— Andrea
