There are certain phrases that become part of the rhythm of your home — words and expressions that sneak into the language of family life without you even noticing.
Apparently, one of ours is “Well, go figure.” My husband and I must say it more than we realized, because lately our daughter Lucy has created her very own version:
“Well, I go figured that.”
She says it with total sincerity, head tilted slightly, hands clasped together like she’s just cracked the case on life’s latest mystery. And every single time, I melt.
There’s something magical about the way kids absorb language — not just words, but cadence, tone, timing. Lucy doesn’t just copy what we say, she makes it her own, adding her bright spark of personality and humor to everyday conversations.
These little moments are what Lucy Says is all about. The unexpected gems, the hilarious misquotes, the honest questions, the pure heart behind it all.
We’ll be sharing more of them here, so stay tuned. And next time life throws you a curveball?
Well, I go figured that!

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 inspiration behind this blog.
Her name literally means “light,” and I believe that every child carries their own unique glow. I don’t believe she’s “gifted”—I believe she’s growing and glowing because she’s loved, encouraged, and supported.
And I believe your child can thrive in the same way.
⸻
I know what it’s like to struggle with learning.
I grew up with dyslexia, diagnosed in second grade, and for years I felt like I just couldn’t measure up.
But through grit, grace, and one remarkable professor who finally saw me—I not only overcame it, but became a passionate educator.
Now I use that experience to help guide my daughter, and hopefully, other parents too.
⸻
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 love,
Lindsey
