Sallie Borrink

Welcome! I’m Sallie – wife, mother, and writer. Our little family enjoys a quiet and cozy life of creative pursuits, self-employment, and pithy exchanges. Veteran homeschooler who advocates for the Relaxed Homeschooling philosophy. I've been writing here for 20+ years about simple living, homeschooling, faith, current events, gracious Christian parenting, and seeking the Truth. I've probably written something you won't agree with, but a lot more that you will. I fit neatly into zero boxes so don't bother trying to figure it out. And I like to laugh. A lot.

However, they didn’t fit on there either since that website deals primarily with challenging theological topics.  Those 300 posts were a labor of love over many years in which …
