Be Back Monday
These last 10 days have been really what I needed. And I'm going to take the rest of the weekend away from the computer and start afresh in this space on Monday!

These last 10 days have been really what I needed. And I'm going to take the rest of the weekend away from the computer and start afresh in this space on Monday!
Denise Fleming: Barnyard Banter
My little one insists on reading this book 92 times a day. From first thing in the morning.
If You See a Fairy Ring: A Rich Treasury of Classic Fairy Poems
Kenneth Grahame: The Wind in the Willows: 75th Anniversary Edition
Carol Petrash: Earthways: Simple Environmental Activities for Young Children
Becky A. Bailey: Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline: The 7 Basic Skills for Turning Conflict into Cooperation
I normally don't go for these "how-to" parenting books. But this one has been so very useful to me. It's about self-discipline rather than strategies for disciplining children. It has been helpful to me as I've worked on conquering my own depression.
Jon & Myla Kabat-Zinn: Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting
Martha Stewart Living Magazine: Everyday Food: Great Food Fast (Vintage)
Sharifa Oppenheimer: Heaven on Earth: A Handbook for Parents of Young Children
Lullabies and Poems for Children (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets)
Eugene Schwartz: Millennial Child : Transforming Education in the Twenty-First Century
Katrina Kenison: Mitten Strings for God: Reflections for Mothers in a Hurry
This is probably my favorite book of all time; I seem to have needed to re-read it at least once or twice a year, ever since Elle was just a couple months old.
Peggy O'Mara: Natural Family Living: The Mothering Magazine Guide to Parenting
Louisa Harding: Natural Knits for Babies and Moms: Beautiful Designs Using Organic Yarns
Elsa Beskow: Peter in Blueberry Land (Mini Edition)
Elsa Beskow is our overall favorite children's book author/illustrator, and Elle says that this is her favorite Elsa Beskow book.
Francesca DenHartog: Sew What! Skirts: 16 Simple Styles You Can Make with Fabulous Fabrics
Stephanie Cooper: The Children's Year: Crafts & Clothes for Children and Parents to Make
William Shakespeare: The Norton Shakespeare: Based on the Oxford Edition
Carolyn Lesser: What a Wonderful Day to be a Cow (Dragonfly Books)
Dianna Hutts Aston: When You Were Born
Really, nothing could be more beautiful.
Glad your break was refreshing. I'm looking forward to your return!!

Hi! I just found your blog and photos, and I have to admit that I feel an instant kinsmanship with you. I also homeschool, am a classical musician, mom, and maker of things (including waldorf dolls). Thank you for sharing your inspirations and thoughts!
:)
