A happy home

Somewhere along the way I stopped making the time to create things for our home. My focus shifted to making things to sell. Luckily when I sat down and thought about this upcoming year and the changes I would like to make, I realized that I was missing this very simple thing....I love making things for our home. So I have made it part of my thought process and planning to include time for me and this place we call home.

This year that will be

I will remember that I am proud of who I am and who we are.
I will remember that time is what I make it.
I will remember that where we are is where we choose to be...even if on the surface it doesn't seem that way.
My issues are just that.
And that this fresh new year holds the promise of many great things.

A mindset

Something happened to me this December. Well, if I am to be truthful, I should acknowledge that this "something" occurs to me each and every late November, early December. The difference this year is that I went with it. I took it slow. And it is a funny thing when one listens and takes it slow...it actually works. There is space for the magic.
Wishing you all more magical days.

This moment

Happy weekend all!

Reason 679 for homeschooling

When I took a moment to step back from the lesson I was immediately struck by how happy I would be if this was our "classroom" everyday.

December

Well, here we are, on the cusp of December. And I love this time of year. While it may seem odd to some, I view this time in the same way that I used to find the time before writing an exam. Having done all that I can, the edge is taken off.
I am more mindful of my moments....welcoming the holiday spirit in and enjoying my time with it.

Hazel is 6, and we celebrate 10

I would be seriously remiss if I didn't include this as one of the reasons he holds my heart.
