feet1Child of mine
At 7 pounds 9
You came into our lives
A week of poo
You’re 7 pounds 2
And snuggling by my side

Child of mine
The months fly by
You’re growing big and strong
First steps, first shoes
No time to lose
You’re playing all day long

Child of mine
Joyful and kind
Though sometimes you don’t share
May I keep you
You’re giggles, too
And beautiful curls of hair?

Child of mine
When it comes time
To send you off forever
Remember it’s true
That I love you
And I won’t stop, no never

#prepweekisfor free time to gather wild onions from the yard and start a business. They have never hand-washed and dried containers this eagerly for *me*. 🤔😅 . . Anyone want to buy some chives? . . #breakweek #homeschool #homeschooling
Valentine's date. 💕 🤓 He won. When I protest in the middle of the game that I'm still relearning the rules each time we play, and that we only play when I'm already exhausted, he just smiles, raises his eyebrows, and says, "Mhm." . . That's his meta - strategy, apparently. Look out, Mr. Scott. This #homeschoolmom is about to add chess to the curriculum. For the children's sake, of course.... and maybe also so I can school you. 😉 . . . . #lifegoals #intj vs #entj #ilovehim
We have time set aside on Tuesdays now for keeping (or commonplacing) in our #homeschool day ('bout time, right?!). . . Today it was a welcome opportunity for me to finish copying a scripture I read and started on this morning. For my 9 year old, it was an opportunity to copy a science diagram for the first time. For the 7 year old... well, he's still scouring his favorite current read to figure out what to copy. Oh my sweet piddler... . . It's fun to try to copy something nicely, to make it lovely. The slow focus gives me a pace especially good for meditating on the scriptures. And sometimes the practice itself becomes an object lesson in recognizing where I miss the mark and responding not with despair but by reveling in grace and continuing on toward the goal. . . #homeschooling #keepingcompanycm #charlottemasonirl #kirkersread #truthgoodnessbeauty #repentrejoicerepeat #motherculture #scripturelettering #bujo #bulletjournal #cpqkeeping
When the Lord lights your path with sunshine and carpets it with warm pine needles, the only thing to do is take off your shoes, soak it all up, and give thanks. Especially in February.
