Hey there! I’m Stacey and this is my family. My husband and I have been married for 20 years (we were 5 when we got married….HA!) and we have three boys who will turn 11, 7, and 4 by the end of this year. We have spent pretty much all of our married life serving in some sort of ministry from youth ministry to full-time pastoring to various discipleship ministries and mission work. God has placed a passion for discipling families in our hearts and you can read all about that on our main site familiesofvirtue.com.

I was a classroom teacher before I became a mom and I have never looked back. We have been homeschoolers since the beginning and I only have 15 more years to go! Books have always been like good friends to me and these days I mostly catch them on audio. You can also find me sneaking in a few minutes of reading on my kindle in the dark while my husband snores. My other hobby is crochet and I can do that while listening to an audio book, so WIN, WIN!

Screen Free Summer was born in 2020 after I realized that our family always defaulted to some sort of screen-based activity when we wanted to spend time together and I was also tired of my boys constantly asking to watch TV. So we decided to devote two months of our summer to not using screens as entertainment. It is now 2021 and we are back for year two and excited to share our journey with you. Thanks for being here and for daring to imagine what a screen-free summer and maybe even a screen-free life might look like for your family!
