ABOUT US
I grew up in the suburbs. At the end of the school day, I spent ample time outdoors, playing in our yard or the woods with my neighbors. As I got older, I would lay on the driveway to soak up the sun with a good book in hand.
Thankfully, my mom scoured countless garage sales, and much to my delight, brought homes boxes of books for me to read. Playing outside and getting lost in books were some of my fondest childhood memories.
Yet, I also longed for more time in nature. I longed for freedom from feeling like I was boxed inside four walls in a classroom…in a building…and later, an office.
HOMESCHOOL
I’m so thankful to be blessed with the chance to homeschool my two precious boys. I long to give them plenty of time outdoors, so they can wonder at God’s glory. I’m aiming to provide a well rounded education for them that includes:
- Literature from great thinkers
- Science through connection with nature
- Bible readings and study
- Time for art, drawing, and music
- Inspiring History tales, math, writing
- Plenty of read aloud time
This Charlotte Mason style of education provides opportunities to develop my children’s good habits and moral character.
I aim to nourish their bodies, with nutritious meals, and ample free time to be active outdoors. Also, I seek to nourish their minds with great thinkers and ideas from inspiring books and good literature.
In conclusion, I desire for my children to work hard at acquiring knowledge, to recognize the value in learning, and to have ample leisure time to pursue their unique interest and develop who they are, as a natural reward for their hard work.
This blog is my way to document some of our days together. It is precious, precious time to me. I hope along the way, I can inspire you and encourage you on your parenting journey!
The days are long, but the years are short.
