Early Morning Musings: February 2010
http://earlymorningmusings.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 25, 2010. If your goal is to clean up after yourself right away instead of leaving a mess for later, but you find yourself slinking off to indulge in some reading after supper instead of first doing the dishes, make sure you're slinking off to a Charlotte Mason book. About forming habits. She'll prick you right back to those dishes before the food has time to harden on the plates. Labels: Forming Habits: Orderliness. Wednesday, February 24, 2010. My daughter's budding fashion sense.

Early Morning Musings: To Kill a Mockingbird
http://earlymorningmusings.blogspot.com/2010/06/to-kill-mockingbird.html
Monday, June 7, 2010. To Kill a Mockingbird. I'm pretty sure my five year old boy thinks the book. I was reading aloud to his daddy was about different ways to slaughter birds, but it's actually a warm, human, touching story that I fell in love with all over again when I read it as the last of my three-book reading spree, and then again to My Hero because he'd never read it. One of my favorite stories. And youre right. Atticus is the very best sort of father. I should read it again. Sand in the Gears.

Early Morning Musings: October 2010
http://earlymorningmusings.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 28, 2010. Sometimes life seems simple and spacious, and I begin a project to fill my leisure hours. Like at the beginning of fall, when summer's crazyness is winding down, and my mind wanders ahead to the dark quiet evenings of winter, and the cozy, restful kind of work that can fill the two hours between the kids' bedtime and my own. This fall I taught myself to knit. Inspired by Amanda Soule at Soulemama. Saturday, October 16, 2010. Gifts I've found on vacation in Illinois. 310 Experi...

Thursday, October 28, 2010. Sometimes life seems simple and spacious, and I begin a project to fill my leisure hours.

Early Morning Musings: April 2010
http://earlymorningmusings.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 30, 2010. In this case, the packages contained books, the very best thing a package could hold. Books piling up in a stack on my bedroom floor. That stack of books is the gate to the world of First Grade. Part of me wants to haul Christopher Robin into my lap today and begin reading the first chapter of The Story of the World. And give him his All About Spelling. I bought some books for Peanut Butter, too. His very own handwriting book. For Christopher Robin I have A Beka math. And other bo...

Early Morning Musings: The Story of the Schaeffers
http://earlymorningmusings.blogspot.com/2010/07/story-of-schaeffers.html
Wednesday, July 7, 2010. The Story of the Schaeffers. I knew that I had come to be shown something more of how God works, making. His strength perfect in. As well as to give some answers to. People eager to ask. God is very merciful to us in continuing to help us. To grow, to teach us more of how He works, to give us a growing closeness to. Himself and fresh glimpses of reality. Such things are exciting to me, but. They do not come from "nine to five" in neat little packages of time, when our. Patience" ...

Early Morning Musings: Peter Pan
http://earlymorningmusings.blogspot.com/2010/09/browsing-shelves-of-bookstore-several.html
Sunday, September 12, 2010. Browsing the shelves of a bookstore several months ago on a rare day without the kids, I picked up a deep blue hardcover copy of Peter Pan. My boys had been playing Peter Pan daily since I had let them watch Disney's version, but I had never read the book and wondered if, as in most cases, it was better than the movie. I flipped open to the first chapter. Of course they lived at 14, and until Wendy came her mother was the. I had planned to read it aloud to him, because it has ...
