Mornin'.
Coffee is first. Always.
I'm feeling a shift from how I used to homeschool my son. Not that it was horrible, but I was boxed into one homeschool ideology. I'll be writing about it in a series of posts, but currently it's becoming more evident that I've over complicated things and we need to minimize the what and how we educate the girls. I'm self evaluating and de-cluttering. Clearing out the schedule, the house, even my mind in order to focus on the relationship of homeschooling. That doesn't mean that academics are taking a backseat. It just means that for me, I'm prioritizing. Turning my heart toward my kids and basically starting over.
Today the girls decided they would dress up. All. Day. And you know what? It's totally okay with me. There's going to be a day, sooner than expected where the dress up will be boxed up, and I'll miss it terribly. I'll miss seeing superwoman blaze through the house fists raised to the sky as though she were flying. I'll miss hearing, "Do you wanna play house? You be the mom, I'll be the daughter." I'll miss "Juliet" sitting at the table double checking her copy work from Proverbs. So I let them.
We wrote letters to friends, created Thanksgiving cards for family, practiced copy work, read quietly and aloud, baked banana bread, painted from a nature guide, our daily math, and of course imagined magical things, inside and out of doors.
Let children have tales of the imagination, scenes laid in other lands and other times; heroic adventures, hairbreadth escapes, delicious fairy tales, even where it is all impossible, and they know it, and yet they believe. ~Charlotte MasonWhat does your day in the life look like?
