About Lindsey

I’m passionate about small wonders and big ideas. Life is weighted with holy moments, but sometimes we need to scoot down low and lean in to feel their gravity. Let’s kick off our shoes, rub the sleepydust out of our eyes and notice God’s presence in new ways.

I also love helping people get to the heart of their own life story. You can join me every week along with Memoir Masterclass teacher Leslie Leyland Fields to learn how to write your story with courage, clarity and purpose.

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.) 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 a pocket full of poetry, or connecting with friends over coffee and life stories.

I would love to connect! Stay up to date with all my writing and resources by subscribing HERE.

Poetry in the Field

Come outside with me and I’ll read you a poem! Poetry in the Field started as a fun YouTube channel where I share my adventures in outdoor poetry, and now I’m making a new home for it on Substack. All poetry, no pressure! If you’ve ever been intimidated by poetry, this is the place for you. We’ll enjoy, explore and engage together. I’ll help you love poetry more.

Homeschooling with Charlotte Mason

I’m a second generation homeschooling 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.

NEW BOOK Awakening the Whole Child:
A Charlotte Mason Philosophy of Education for the 21st Century

I’m honoured to be part of this new academic work, featuring Charlotte Mason educators from around the world! I was asked to share a case study of our homeschool life to represent Canada in the book. (I know our island days are just one snapshot of a much wider Canadian picture.) Read more about it here.

I’d be pleased to speak at your next homeschooling event! Topics I love to share about include:

• Discovery and Delight: The Wide Field of a Charlotte Mason Education
• The Dearest Freshness: The Joy of Poetry in Everyday Life
• The Schoolmarm and the Monk: Charlotte Mason and Brother Lawrence on the Presence of God

Past home education events:

• Homeschool Revival Conference (online, August 5-9, 2024)
• l’HaRMas (Kingsville, ON, October 18-19, 2024)
