Reflect on the needs of your soul -->
This past winter (so glad that’s behind us!), I posted a list of 10 of our favorite preschool winter books. A reader emailed in asking if I would consider other posts like this one, and today I’m happy to share more of our favorites, this time around gardening! Now, you must know I am not...
{post contains affiliate links; see disclosure here} We’re all BIG readers here, and I can’t believe there is only one kiddo left who needs to learn just how all those letters and sounds turn into words he can read. Soon enough…and I’m not really rushing it. Until then, we’re all happy to read to him....
Hi Daniele!

{this post contains affiliate links; please see full disclosure here} I’m rounding up a fairly big list of reading for the next few months! Above is the current homeschooling stack (more are on their way!), though I’m sure my favorites will be revisited as well. Definitely more of a non-fiction than fiction reader, I do...
{We’ve come to one of my favorite weeks of the year, so I’ll quiet words and post only pictures this week as part of a blogging break. The 52 ways posts will continue on Monday, April 1st with two encouragements for life and home.} : : The past week found me jotting random notes of...
I love what you wrote:
“when my heart is centered on Christ, celebrating our faith comes more naturally {more calmly!} than if the goal is simply to complete a craft or activity.”
That is so true. I’ve found that some years we do more and some less. But the biggest thing we focus on is turning our hearts towards Him.ReplyCancel
Here’s the first of several posts as I outline our whole life education plan for 2012-2013. I love the term whole life education, because this is what we aim to do. To build up our children in a variety of ways, not simply academically. While it’s important they deepen knowledge and skills, life is much...
Daniele,
Thanks for this post! I’ll be homeschooling our Kindergarten aged daughter next year as well as our two boys. While I won’t be using the FIAR curriculum this year, I do plan to read aloud to her quite a bit as well as have audio books for her to listen to when I am working with the boys. I pinned this post so I can refer to it throughout the year when I am looking for books for her 🙂ReplyCancel
We have just started FIAR volume one. It’s been so much fun. Your plan looks very nice. Since I only bought volume 1 I arranged ours for the seasons too but just from the 1 volume. The nice thing about FIAR is that you can do as much or as little as you want for the day. Somedays we just keep going and others we have too many things going on so we’ll read the book and 1 or 2 activities. So much fun.ReplyCancel
I stumbled across your blog from Pinterest and could not be more excited about it! This post n particular. I have a 3 year old and a 6.5 year old this year. I’m just starting to dabble in preschool and want to do a book based type deal with him. I using lightening literature with Josie and a lot of these books fit right in! Yea! Love that you arranged by season. That’s how I plan as well. Excited to keep reading!ReplyCancel

Reading an abundance of books seems to be on the agenda lately. Oh yes, I’m always reading something — an article, a book, a blog post of interest. But with the end of our homeschool year came a more open schedule and….yes, more time to read! So off to the library we went. While we...
Spring is upon us and with it comes planting season — a much anticipated time for many! But whether you’re a seasoned gardener or one who simply enjoys the produce of others’ efforts, this time of year is an excellent opportunity for teaching children where food comes from. Understanding the process from seed to plant or from...
I’m a self-proclaimed book lover. A lover of all things wordy really. Books. Poetry. Articles. Blogs. As a spin-0ff Valentine’s and with February being a focus on loving well those around us, I want to share some of my favorite books focusing on relationships: relationship with God, with ourselves (understanding our divine design), relationship with...

You named many of our favorites. 🙂 We just got a neat book at the library today called “What’s in the Garden?” by Marianne Berkes. It has a riddle for each vegetable and the the next page gives a simple recipe that uses it. The pictures are very pretty and realistic and feature kids cooking or caring for plants.
Thanks so much for that recommendation!
