Called To Mothering is a place where women can find encouragement and equipping in their God-given calling as mothers, along with Christian parenting and homeschooling help. I’m Marisa, a homeschool mama of two kids, wife to Gregg since 2003, and follower of Jesus. A Jersey girl (raised and grown in the Garden State), I’ve been transplanted with my family down south to Oklahoma because of my husband’s job. My book, Bucking The System: Reclaiming Our Children’s Minds For Christ was released in January 2016.
