Where to begin when you want to build something more faithful.
Darbees Chasing Rainbows is not about becoming an RV family, a homeschool brand, a project blog, or a farm account. Those are the lanes we write in. The deeper story is a family learning to live intentionally and faithfully under real constraints.
The simple test
Every useful piece here should answer some version of this question:
How do we live more faithfully and intentionally in the constraints we actually have?
What are you trying to build?
You want a more faithful family life
Start with the big picture: why we are trying to live intentionally, what we are not trying to become, and how faith shapes the ordinary decisions.
- Faith-forward family rhythms
- Privacy and online boundaries
- Learning in public
You are homeschooling under constraints
Read about flexible but rigorous homeschool rhythms in small spaces, interrupted weeks, travel days, read-alouds, and field learning.
- Roadschool rhythms
- Living books and read-alouds
- Field learning without forcing it
You are considering RV life

Coming soonWhat this is not
This is not a polished influencer roadmap, a promise that RV life fixes everything, or a claim that we have already arrived. It is a public notebook from a real family learning in public.
What this is
This is a guide to the lanes we are walking: faithful family life, homeschool, RV constraints, field learning, books, useful builds, and the long road toward Kingdom Farm.
