Fine Arts Friday: Nature Walk
We’ve been at my parents this past week while my mom has knee surgery. Needless to say, we haven’t done much school and the kids have been left to their own devices while I’ve been going to and from the hospital. They’ve been great, but I knew we needed to take a break, so yesterday […]

Summer necessities
Your summer needs this: Foolishly, we ordered this over the weekend, so MTG will have a week and a half to practice and be prepared to ambush us.

Terrible Tuesday: Family

“Children are born persons.”
That’s my favorite Charlotte Mason quote because it reminds me that I’m not dealing with a lump of clay that I can do with what a wish but a person, made in the image of God, with his or her own personality and talents and wants and fears. My children are people, and I should […]

Fine Arts Friday: Exhausted
This past week has been camp week. MTG has taken the girls to Girl Scout Twilight Camp*, and I’ve taken the boys to Cub Scout Twilight Camp. I’m so tired it hurts. The main reason we study fine arts is to give our children a repository of beauty from which to draw. So today, I’m […]

Fathering is more than just providing DNA
Language is a good indicator of what a culture values. For example, our dictionary definition of mothering is “the nurturing of an infant or small child by its mother.” Parenting means “the rearing of children.” Fathering means “a male parent.” Mothering is highly valued and appreciated in our culture; when people are sick or […]

Inconceivable
I’m very tired and completely overwhelmed with a to-do list from hell. The result is the following is this post on one of my favorite movies, with very little work on my part. You’re welcome.
