Welcome to Geez, Gwen!

Thank you for visiting Geez, Gwen! The purpose of this site is to inspire! We aim to encourage families to live their very best lives appreciating one another daily. We are full of ideas about how and where to spend more one on one time enjoying your family members and valuing your relationships.

From dinner to date night, we discuss all aspects of family life. We encourage side by side education and creation (we are super artsy) and we believe in expressing our love for those who mean the very most to us in as many ways as possible. We genuinely believe that is what life is really all about! Loving one another.

About Us:

I am Gwen and I am a Christian homeschool Mom, blogger, and amateur photographer. I love to learn, teach, travel, cook, write, paint, and have fun while I’m doing all of that.

We are nature lovers. We hike a lot.

We believe in serving our community and we are involved in many hands-on experiences.

My husband, Mr. Wonderful is the most amazing man ever. He is a Techie and works as a Senior Web Developer.

T is our teenage son and he is brilliant. Honestly, we are kind of in awe of how intelligent he is. It’s very cool. He also has ADHD but that doesn’t hold him back. We recognize ADHD as the gift of a talented multi-tasking brain that likes to run not walk through most of the day. Not a hindrance that has the power to hold him back and we have found lots of tools (music, exercise, deep breathing) to keep it from stealing his concentration.

T has his superhero brain and I have a lot of coffee. I love coffee. I need coffee. With espresso. Double shots preferably.
