Well that was a crazy, busy weekend… things just kept happening… I think we might need this week to recover, seriously. There was indeed the best weather ever and I would love to say I got a whole lot of things done, like laundry – none of that… we took moment today to stop and just enjoy, rather than jamming our day of rest with chores.
We have a lot of things on this week, and some exciting things to share on our blog… we have a lovely GiveAway towards the end of the week and I just can’t wait to share it with you…
Lovely links from this week
- Loveliness through and through: Here are 20 Photography Tips and Tricks… on a Beautiful Mess.
- It is time to start following Tsh, from the Art of Simple Mom… as their Round the World Journey is about to begin. I loved this post about what they would take for a homeschool year abroad… I think I could dream this dream and make a list of the things we would take for a homeschool year abroad… the minimalist in me probably wouldn’t get beyond a notebook… and the reality would probably add a kindle, uno’s great and I would have to add some tiny travel water colors and bananagrams. I really wouldn’t bother with anything else, because – really, families learn so much from life and living, especially when traveling. All the stuff we need for school when we are sitting at home day after day, becomes somewhat irrelevant, when you are off on an adventure.
- The Fall Catalogue for Imagine Childhood is out – sweet love… And a GiveAway that closes “Giveaway ends 8/19/14 10am MST.” Head straight over there for inspiration.
- If you aren’t following Classic Play, then I really think you should be… just step over there and take a peak at the cool creative instagrammers they discovered.
- Don’t you love taking a peak at other folks home schools, here’s a whole collection on Apartment Therapy this week. And if you missed ours a while back… Se7en’s School Tour.
- Would someone please hit me over the head and remind me to order our sketchbook… imagine if we got our whole project going long before the handing date… And I think I might need these lovely pens to get me going as well… Sketchbook project pens to die for, just saying.
- Here’s An Unschooling Post in the great outdoors that I really enjoyed reading…
- A Blast From the Past: And here are a couple of links to posts, this week, from previous years:
