Homeschool Mom's Journal

For Today...

Wednesday October 28, 2015
54 degrees, sunny, breezy, cool

Outside my window...

merry little breezes dancing with orange and yellow leaves
hungry birds in the bird feeder
chickens treasure hunting
children nature journaling

On my mind...

slowing down
tending to the needs of my family
nurturing friendships

I am wearing...

blue jeans
orange t-shirt
cream sweater
black socks
birks

I am creating...

a love for learning

I am looking forward...

to making soap! 

In my kitchen...

Around our one-hundred year old house...

a one-hundred year old couch
two one-hundred year old chairs
a treadle sewing machine
laundry that is done
an upstairs bathroom that is clean
a new to us king-sized bed that is made
a living room that is, well, lived in
a library overflowing with books
dishes in the sink
a snuggly cat

A peek into one of my days...

It's that time of year again when our immune systems can use a little boost. Please join us for a Winter Wellness Essential Oils class next Monday and Tuesday.

    1. Dawn, thank you :) It is peaceful with the littles around. If I were to write a post with everyone here it would be chaos... well, I'm not sure I would even be able to sit and reflect long enough to write a post!

  2. Oh the leaves look like so much fun!

    L.O.V.E. this: "merry little breezes dancing with orange and yellow leaves" Me loves a beautiful autumn breeze with lots of vibrant colors.

    1. The "merry little breezes" is from Old Mother West Wind - from the Thornton Burgess book collection :)

      I remember that you love fall, Tamara - I think about it every year! :)
