“Only the loved can love.”

~ Girls’ Club

I have loved seeing the lovely, inspiring photos of Elsie for quite a while. Then when I got to hear her speak at a Wild and Free conference where we both spoke, I knew I wanted the opportunity to get to know her better.

Elsie homeschools her precious ones. Her family of six live on a 2.5 acre farm with a gaggle of pigs, turkeys, chickens, a dog and one duck. She says, “The noise level in our home is indescribable. The amount of laundry is harrowing. Our mudroom lives up to its name. I am an admitted book addict and anglophile. I love tea, gardening, chocolate, novels, tropical fruit and going to the bathroom by myself.” When I read this, I knew we were kindred spirits!

Doesn’t this sound like such a fun life?! Elsie Iudicello lives in sunny South Florida with her husband and four young boys on a noisy farm brimming with an assortment of animals and tropical fruit trees. She is an author and speaker with a passion for Jesus and a great love for homeschooling, stories, tea, adventuring with her children, theology and avocados.

We had so much fun talking about friendship for my podcast today—hope you will love listening in! Elsie writes for Wild and Free magazine and blogs at www.farmhouseschoolhouse.com. You can follow Elsie on instagram @Farmhouse_Schoolhouse for more updates on the upcoming release of her first book.
