Hi, I’m Lindsey Gallant!
I’m a writer, speaker and homeschool mom in Prince Edward Island. I would love to help you cultivate a life of attention, curiosity, connection and presence. You’ll most often find me writing about “glad and natural living in the recognized presence of God.” Let’s explore together!
I’m passionate about small wonders and big ideas. If I don’t have my nose in a book, you might find me picking a ditch bouquet, scribbling in a notebook, wandering the woods with poetry in my pocket, or connecting with friends over coffee and life stories.
I grew up in the boreal forest of Canada’s Northwest Territories, and now make my home with my family on a little patch of riverside in Prince Edward Island, Canada. (You’re welcome to join me on the porch anytime. And if you’re an Anne fan, I’ll take you to the Lake of Shining Waters–sorry, I can’t promise Gilbert will be there to rescue us from drowning in an ill-fated poetry reenactment.)
I would love to connect! Stay up to date with all my writing and resources by subscribing here.

Poetry in the Field YouTube Channel
Here’s where you’ll find my adventures in outdoor poetry, as I bring together the delight of poetry and the freshness of nature! Beautiful words are a source of pleasure and worthy of honour. Join me as I share some of my favourite poems from some of my favourite places.
Homeschooling with Charlotte Mason
I’m a second generation homeschool mom who discovered Charlotte Mason when my oldest was just a baby, and we have been implementing her life-giving principles and practices in our family and school life for over a decade. Especially inspiring is her conception of education as both a rich feast and a wide field which we’ll never get to the end of exploring! I think half the joy of education is in knowing that there’s always more to discover.
Charlotte Mason believed that children should grow up with a sense of the nearness of God, and that parents should live in such a way as to show their children “glad and natural living in the recognized presence of God” (Parents and Children, pg. 55). This phrase sums up perfectly what I hope to cultivate in my own life and encourage in others.
