About Mrs. Housh
Who I Am
Hello! I’m Mrs. Housh, a Catholic author, Montessori teacher-in-training, homeschooling mother, and lifelong lover of children’s literature.
I live with my family in Colorado, where the beauty of the natural world and the peace of a quieter life inspire the stories I tell.
My Story
Raised in a devout Christian family in Indianapolis, I grew up with a tender longing for motherhood and for the sacred work of caring for children.
My mother, a faithful woman of Christ, poet, and creative writer, was my first and lasting inspiration.
After two years as a youth swim teacher, I was forever changed by the children I taught and the memories we shared, and that love led me into early childhood study, Montessori formation, and the vocation that has shaped my life. In time, I found my spiritual home in Catholicism, and that faith now guides both my work and my words.
