Growing up, Laurie’s dream was to become a wife and Mama. That dream came true over 20 years ago when she became the wife of Toby, her Honey. Thankfully, Laurie’s dream to become a Mama has also been fulfilled as they have been blessed with 5 children, aged 20 down to 10, with one already with Jesus. They've always been a homeschooling, homesteading family, and love being together. Currently, they reside in Tennessee on a small (very small) grass-finished beef farm, where they also are joined by 5 Miniature Dachshunds, 1 Beagle, 2 horses, and 5 ducks.
