About The Author
Lindsey Erin Vesnic
Hi, I’m Lindsey—wife, homeschooling mom, animal lover, and cappuccino enthusiast with a heart full of stories and a deep love for teaching and learning.
I started Raising Light to share our journey of parenting with purpose. As a former teacher, wildlife rehabilitator, Realtor, and dog trainer turned full-time mom, I’ve walked an unexpected and beautiful path that led me to home education and a deeper faith.
My daughter, Lucy, is the light of my life—and the daily inspiration behind much of this blog. Her name literally means “light,” and I believe every child carries their own unique glow. I don’t believe Lucy is “gifted.” I believe she’s glowing and growing because she’s loved, encouraged, and supported—and I truly believe your child can thrive in the same way.
You’ll also see glimpses of our amazing son, Anderson, throughout this site. Though the blog often centers around Lucy simply because I’m with her full time and serve as her primary educator, Anderson is equally cherished.
I’ve been blessed to be part of his life since he was four years old, and the journey of becoming a stepmom has stretched me, strengthened me, and gifted me with a deeper kind of love. While I don’t share the day-to-day of his learning in the same way, I have learned so much from him—and I look forward to telling more of those stories here, too.
I know what it’s like to struggle with learning. I was diagnosed with dyslexia in second grade and spent years feeling like I didn’t measure up. But through grit, grace, and one remarkable professor who finally saw what others didn’t, I not only overcame those struggles—I became a passionate educator. That experience now shapes how I teach, how I parent, and how I write.
This space is where I share our learning journey, parenting reflections, spiritual walk, and the tools and truths that have made all the difference. My prayer is that Raising Light will encourage you, equip you, and remind you that you’re not alone.
We’re not here to be perfect. We’re here to grow—and let our light shine. Welcome to our story, I’m so glad you’re here.
With light and love,
Lindsey
