Last night Cindy Rushton had a conference preview chat with Jill Novak of the "Gift of Family Writing" and it was so fun!!!  It lasted for almost (gulp) three hours.  I enjoyed it so much, it was really only the second time I have participated in anything like that. 

If you missed it you can find out info about it on Cindy's Talk-a-Latte site.  (You will have to find that link yourself, sorry!)  Anyway, Jill not only draws beautiful pictures with her hands, but she can paint a picture with her words too!  That is the amazing thing about journaling your life story.  Whether you are putting lines down on paper and sketching a flower or other wonderful thing, you can write down the event as it happens; in your own words, or your kids own word.  Those descriptions are life as it happens, and they willl be treasured forever by your family.

Ok, gotta run!  Have a wonderful day and blessed weekend!

Homeschooling Is Life!

p.s. "Becoming God's Naturalist" is available at www.thegiftoffamilywriting.com  and it is sooooo good!  You will love the stories and ideas you will get from Jill about inspiring your kids!  AND you will certainly be inspired by her daughter "playing" Beatrix Potter!  Your kids will love it!!!
