A hearth is the heart of the home. It is where we come to gather, especially at the end of the day. We draw about the fire to warm ourselves; we take in the smells of the cooking, nourishing our bodies; we come to tell stories of our day, nourishing our spirits. Yearning for the wisdom of the past, I hope those who come to this blog will feel the warmth of the hearth.
I am homeschooling my Grade 5 twin girls using Waldorf inspired education and that is the primary focus of this blog.
I have spent quite a bit of time documenting our Grade 1 year, which can be found through the links below. Grade 2 is sparse and for that, I apologize. Grade 3 is even more sparse as life keeps us more and more pressed for time. Nonetheless, I have decided to leave this blog up because I know how much I have relied on other blogs to enhance my children's lives and even if I don't have time to put as much content up as I did when my twins were younger, I hope the efforts I have put out in prior years will help inspire other families who have embarked on their own unique journeys.
What lovely treasures...old and new! Time for an in-breath, no? Peace and comfort to you and your beautiful family, Jen...you have certainly brought such to my family this past year.
Love the stone henge....I wondered if you would mind sharing the swap group you were with or was it private? I've had a bad expeirence wiht the quality of some swaps and wondered if this may be more Waldorf inspired quality items. Love your blog. Thanks
Hi Castlequeen! I'm sorry I'm just getting to this now - been sooooo busy lately. This was not through an official group. It was organized through a homeschooling mama that is on a lot of waldorf boards - Aileen Dunnaway. If you're on the waldorf curriculum supplies group, you will see her name there quite a bit :) HTH!
What a magical Christmas! :)
