Welcome to Pichea Place!
We are a busy family of seven currently living in the northwoods of Wisconsin, on a mission to help busy families connect amidst the chaos of life. That’s why you’ll find our blog to be a wealth of resources for busy families – tips, tutorials, recipes, and encouragement – all with the goal of helping your busy family to be intentional about doing real life together.
On Pichea Place, you’ll find lots of great resources for busy families. Here are a few of our favorite topics…
Family Life
This topic pretty much encompasses the majority of the resources we share – we are all about doing life together as a family!

Family Travel
We love to explore, and packing up the ‘Burb for a family vacation happens several times a year. Our family travels tend to be budget-friendly and highlight ways to make big-family travel feasible and enjoyable.

We don’t have it all figured out… but we’re striving to raise our kids to be adults to the best of our ability, and we’re sharing tips and encouragement with you along the way.

Marriage
A healthy family starts with a healthy relationship between Mom and Dad – that’s why we’re intentional about providing lots of great resources for building and strengthening marriages.

Practical Faith
Our family is built on a foundation of faith in Christ. As parents, we need to be relying on God’s strength each and every day as we seek to build a foundation of faith in our kids.

Quick Meals & Recipes
Every family needs to eat, but when you’re a busy family, you need quick and easy meal options – ones that don’t require a lot of prep work or time spent in the kitchen. We’re all about sharing recipes that our family loves that are easy to prepare and allow for more time together as a family around the table.

Home Life
While homemaking is not an area in which we excel, we do strive to keep a clean and tidy home, and we share our tips and tutorials with you for getting the whole family involved in this pursuit.

On Our Bookshelf
You’ll find that while we are a busy family, we are also intentional about spending lots of time reading. We are all bookworms, and we love to share what we’re reading with you!

School Life
While our “formal” educational choices/methods have changed over the years (we have both homeschooled and utilized our local public schools), we try to be intentional about learning together in the everyday moments, and we share our experiences with you to encourage you and help you to do the same with your family.
