Hey there!
I’m Cherie, the heart and mind behind SpiritEd Marketplace. Welcome! As a homeschooling mom fueled by faith, I’m excited to bring you resources that make learning an adventure and deepen your connection with Christ.
Homeschooling has been a journey of discovery for my family. I spent many years as a single mom of 3, and while I wanted to homeschool my older kids, I thought I couldn’t make it work on my own – how I wish I had known then what I know now! Then I married an amazing man (12 years and counting) and had a daughter and twin boys. My twins were slated to start public school in 2020 – then COVID chaos led us to try homeschooling. My husband was skeptical, I was nervous, but four years later, we would never dream of any option besides homeschooling.
Though I was sometimes overwhelmed with homeschooling, I soon realized it was the perfect fit for our family. I excitedly experimented with eclectic resources and various curricula, and when none of it quite fit my needs, I created my own! I began sharing these resources with other homeschool mamas in my circle and realized there was a great need for them.
Where are we today? My twin boys are 9 and couldn’t be more different from each other but are equally precious in their own ways. I like to say I’m “Charlotte Mason-inspired” and while I’m a big fan, I don’t follow her methods strictly. That’s the beauty of homeschooling – you are empowered to weave your own path through education in each season of life!
Our home is a bustling blend of learning and laughter. Between our twins, 3 furry friends, and a budding homestead, every day is an adventure! My supportive husband is a veteran, an IT professional, and an avid collector of hobbies. In our family, learning is a passion and a value—I’m currently perfecting my sourdough baking skills and tackling the keyboard!
Our family is now spread across the globe. Since leaving the military, our eldest son is finishing a Master’s degree while he and his wife are learning Japanese in Tokyo. Our daughter and her husband reside by the beach where she works hard to give clients beautiful homes and is a talented artist. Meanwhile, our 18-year-old son is on the verge of completing his Associate’s degree, showcasing a keen business mind that promises exciting adventures ahead. Our daughter, Selah, left us for heaven shortly after she was born. I’m grateful to know that I will see her again one day soon!
