Welcome to my blog on topics about keeping the home - or attempting to - as a Gen X Mom of four and wife to one. :) This blog is written by me, Lori Seaborg, from the Florida-Alabama Gulf Coast. I'm not the person who is ahead of you in mothering and homemaking knowledge. I'm just the gal right beside you, motivating the 11yo daydreamer, keeping up with the 9yo future homemaker extraordinaire (every mama needs a helper like this one!), teaching the rascally 6-year-old while occupying the 3yo. Let's learn together!
My internet connection is only letting me online in snippets lately. Since your internet connection is obviously working well, check this out:
Embroider a Globe: What a wonderful project this is! It wraps up geography and handicrafts all in one lesson that includes the virtue of patience.
From the website's introduction:
From about 1804 until 1844, young schoolgirls at Westtown School,
a boarding school in Pennsylvania established by Quakers in 1799,
embroidered globes, both terrestrial and celestial. Used to teach
geography in the early decades of the nineteenth century, real
globes were expensive; thus, a stitched globe was an economical
way for a young girl not only to learn her lessons but to practice
her needlework.
I can't believe all you get done!! This looks like a very cool idea... I am just not one to fancy crafts. Keenan gets a tub of stuff to do whatever he wants... an organized one now and then for ideas to store in his head for future use and that is it.
We are moving right now, too, so life is amazingly chaotic!!
Thanks for your comments... yes, scheduling. ick. sigh. I am sure God has the perfect way for me, if I could just let self go and listen long enough to figure it out!!
