The Sweet Life...

First Place
This weekend, our local homeschool group held their annual Project Fair. This is the first year any of my chicks has entered. Lala created 8 small felt dolls using the book Felt We Folk by Sally Mavor as a guide. Lala created the 8 main characters from Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. She took first place for her age in the Arts and Crafts category. We are very proud! • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend!

About Me
Just the simple thoughts on life, children, books, nature, and God (to name a few) of an imperfect Christian momma as she ventures forth in search of the Sweet Life...
Words to Ponder
The morning wind forever blows; the poem of the world is uninterrupted, but few are the ears that hear it. ~Thoreau The writer studies literature not the world...He is careful what he reads, for that is what he will write. ~Annie Dillard Links

Faith Family Fun Hearth and home Homeschooling Kids and Babies Life Restoring Wonder About our homeschool
First and foremost we strive to instill in our children a deep and abiding love of God and a saving faith in Christ Jesus.
And toward that end we use a mixture of the Classical Christian and Charlotte Mason approaches to homeschooling.
We place a high level of importance upon reading the bible and good literature, keeping away from twaddle as much as possible!
We study Latin and Poetry, Shakespeare and Geography, Writing and Math and Science, too! We try to incorporate Nature Studies
as much as time and Babycakes will allow. And we study history in a 4-year cycle, repeating each time period (Ancients, Middle ages/Renaissance & Reformation,
Colonial/Early American History, Modern) 3 times over the course of 12 years.
We try to allow our children the time to really explore what interests them and time to just be kids.
