I am overly excited and flustered preparing for this school year. I have books and boxes lying around and a messy cubby from the previous year. I am slowly organizing the pencil cases, nature gems in tubberware, book lists, etc. I am struck with this overwhelming feeling that causes me to procrastinate on one hand, and too busy running around constantly on the other. I have three kids, two of “school age.” The baby has and needs mounds of attention. I often wonder how people do it with more kids. I feel quite inadequate!
“The Story of King Arthur and his Knights” plays in the background, hoping my boys are grasping some of the content floating around our cozy home. Gueneviere, knights, pearls are the “key words” I am retaining from the audio. Classical conversations I have to thank for that! Our co-op has brought quite the beauty of learning and quality content in our home.
We bought our birthday boy, who just turned five an ant farm, and thanks to their Nana it is set up! They eat fruit and they sting. We also harvested some small, immature carrots from our porch plants! It is not much to some, but it came through…sort of.
Below, I’ve included my very first sourdough bread! My friend came over and showed me how to make it, then generously gifted some of her starter to me! It came out deliishh!
Here are a few more photos to wrap up the summer..
Here’s the disclaimer- These are snapshots of my life. The prettier side that I like to focus on. It was a HARD summer, but Glory to God, and a huge thank you to some good friends. I was not completely alone.
