September Books

We are on year two of homeschooling and I am realizing that books are such a huge part of our homeschool. The way books can bring us together as a family, creating memories and connections to the world, is truly a gift. Not every book is a good book, but there are plenty of wonderful stories out there to discover and enjoy. Reading isn't just a subject to teach my first grader, it is a way of living. We read the Word of God in the morning, we share good stories together aloud, we model choosing ... continue reading...

Raising Rock Collectors

I'm raising rock collectors. They fill their pockets, my pockets, shoes, hats, hands, and anything that can hold, with cool rocks they have discovered. This is something that has only increased with ages and numbers of my children. We got our oldest a rock polisher for her birthday (yes, we are feeding the addiction!) and now the kids are always on the hunt for "massive quartz" which is in ABUNDANCE in our region (It cleans up really pretty!)

I was asked this question several different ways this week - in person and online - and I thought it a very fitting Ask Elizabeth to tackle right now. In many ways I am still in the middle of this toddler/ preschool season of homeschool, but we have also been doing it for a couple years now! Hilde is my oldest at ... continue reading...

July Books

I find it hilarious that I am making myself stay on top of these monthly book posts while I am sitting on dozens of drafts of other blog posts that are arguably more important or at least more personal than these ones. But for some reason I cannot stop sharing my very valuable opinions on the books I've been reading and bragging about my progress toward my book reading goal for 2024 ;) Ever since I quit influencing and Instagram, I've found so many pockets of free time to read again. I read ... continue reading...
