The preschoolers squeeze and elbow their way beside me, vying for the place on my lap, and settling cozily in. It is reading time.

That is an optomistic title, because, really, winter is still usually roaring around here into March. January and February seem to be the most difficult months for me as a homeschool mother, partially because of the constant gray lingering in the sky and partially….well, maybe it’s all the gray. So while I keep...

Wintering here in upstate New York, the snowdrifts pile up to the stop signs and the temperatures lately have been too cold to let the kids play outside. We hibernate indoors, slippers, sweaters and lessons. By the wood stove, a bowl of delicious dough soaks up warmth. Fresh warm bread from the oven, sliced thick with...

Posted by Hannah | 0 comments
Someone who thinks the way I do, who loves her children and home and life in similar ways, recommended this book, which I ordered and picked up from the library. I’m so glad I did. It came along with me on trips to the beach, rides in the van, and visits to grandparents. It, 3×5 cards, and a pen were my companion for...
