Found a new blog while searching for Vegan menus. Fimby is full of natural things and simple beauty.
I spent Saturday trying to find alone time. I let the boys play games and veg. But, first I knocked out the pile of dishes and laundry. I gave each boy one major chore. Little flower got herself a really plush bed and lots of babies in her giant play pen. I think I really needed that. I knew I wouldn't get to go anywhere and my fuse was short. But, it sure feels good.
::Things I need to do this week::
Finishing revamping chorepacks
Wash all the windows...they get dirty and moldy over the winter since the back half of the house is partially in the ground.
Oldest is hanging up the laundry we got behind on.
Read more in Siblings without rivalry...these boys drive me nuts. I get tired of yelling, leave me alone and the oh so popular..you are such a turd.
Make a Trader Joes list. I realize we haven't been there in a few months. Seems strange.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.

Brooms, Waldorf
Here are some of the things I've been gazing at lately...
I really hope you do not mind me downloading this picture and sending everyone who actually reads this blog running over right now at this very moment to find something that will actually bring them some joy when they do that dirty little deed of sweeping. Not only that, but it comes in a child size, too.
Waldorf education. I've been drawn to this for years. I've put it off for different reasons. I think it's time though. I'm taking a few things with us that we have enjoyed in this homeschooling journey. I'm packing them in a sweet basket and walking down a trail. It's still homeschooling. It's just going to be a bit more. I don't know, meaningful. I heard that voice that says jump. Then I read a post I made when my oldest was much younger. I realized I need to jump. I couldn't afford not to. Grade 1 may not look like much. She includes everything you need. Stories, supplies list, examples of pictures. I printed out the e-book. I'm glad I did. I just print out a bit at a time to read. And, now I can print out the months outline and stories. I wasn't sure if it's what I needed. But, it's wonderful, amazing and everything you need to jump. Everything you need to start. The rest will come. You don't need to be perfect. YOU NEED TO DO.
