Looking Up With The Locks

Welcome to our crazy, beautiful, and always eventful corner of the internet! We’re the Lock family—a homeschool-loving, road-tripping crew of ten, navigating life from the front seat of our trusty minivan. With eight incredible kids (yes, eight!) ranging from 16 years to 18 months, life is never dull. Whether we’re dancing through a hotel room, exploring a new city, or tackling math lessons in the middle of an adventure, we’re all about making memories, embracing the chaos, and finding joy in the journey.

This blog is where we share our wild ride, from the ups and downs of homeschooling on the go to our favorite family adventures and everything in between. You’ll get a front-row seat to our daily life—our triumphs, our challenges, and all the laughter (and occasional tears) that come with raising a big family. We’ll also dive into the deeper stuff: faith, growth, and building a life that reflects our values while managing the whirlwind of parenting, freelancing, and dreaming big.

So, grab a cup of coffee (or two—trust us, we know the drill), and stay a while! Whether you’re here for the parenting tips, travel stories, or just to see how we manage it all without losing our minds (spoiler: sometimes we do), we’re so glad you’re along for the ride. Let’s look up, lock arms, and make life unforgettable together!
