Winter weather can be pretty miserable here in Middle Tennessee. Lots of cold and rainy days. It's not my favorite season. But I do love all the cozy hours spent reading. I've started gathering books for my basket that I keep beside my knitting materials. I just learned how to knit this past fall. Maybe… Continue reading A Mother's Morning Basket (Winter)

Reading Weather Has Arrived
We had a dusting of snow today in Middle Tennessee. The children are out trying to catch snowflakes on their tongue. I'm cuddled under blankets by the fire, shivering and struggling to stay warm. My body was definitely not made for winter weather. I'm trying my best to embrace this season we are in. Where… Continue reading Reading Weather Has Arrived
25 Days of Christmas Books!
Photo by Torsten Dettlaff on Pexels.com It' almost time to change the calendar and gather Advent materials. (And I should probably consider removing the rotting pumpkins from the front porch.) As we count down to Christmas, we will pull out a new book from our December book stack. Im actually thinking about wrapping them… Continue reading 25 Days of Christmas Books!
Unit Study: Seeds, Trees, and Leaves
We finished up our science unit on bugs last month. I decided to pause our usual science lessons and do a quick unit study on trees and leaves. The leaves have been beautiful this year! The kids love going on leaf hunts and running back home to identify them in their books. They really enjoyed… Continue reading Unit Study: Seeds, Trees, and Leaves

It is my favorite seasonal stack of picture books.… Continue reading November Book Stack

October Picture Book Stack
Happy First Day of Fall! I love unboxing our seasonal books, especially this time of year. Do you store away your seasonal books? I find it's easier to swap them out if I keep them all in one spot....which right now is under my daughter's bed. It's still in the high 90's here in Middle… Continue reading October Picture Book Stack
Morning Time with A Gentle Feast (2019-2020)

We will pull from Cycles 1, 2, and 3 morning time packets from A Gentle Feast to blend with The Kind Kingdom study of European… Continue reading Morning Time with A Gentle Feast (2019-2020)
Curriculum Bookshelf and Schedule (2019 – 2020)
I am so behind planning our school year. I spent the spring helping another homeschooling mother try to form a new community and the summertime running sewing camps. So I've spent August scrambling to get my ducks in a row. Last year, I had everything ready by mid July. Oh well. That's the good thing… Continue reading Curriculum Bookshelf and Schedule (2019 – 2020)
