Real Life with Four Kids

We’re the Hovey’s – homeschooling, traveling, and learning how to make family life work with four kids under seven. Here you’ll find practical routines, budget-friendly ideas, and local Cincinnati adventures to help families live with more purpose, freedom, and fun!

Welcome!! I’m Kayla!

A stay-at-home and now homeschooling mom of 4, a serial hobbyist, and avid DIYer.

I love Jesus, put ketchup on my mac and cheese, and am trying to get used to black coffee as we speak.

I’m so glad you’re here and hope you can learn something, find some inspiration, or just have a laugh!
