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.
Hello, I am MammaNatura, can you tell me where you bought the beautiful Anthroposophical frame showing the image of the Sistine Madonna? It's gorgeous yout table! Thank you!
MammaNatura, I purchased that one from Steiner College Bookstore in Fair Oaks, CA when I took a wonderful seminar through the Syrendell Academy. They are literally a mile or two away (lucky ducks!)...Nova Natural used to carry them, but I had heard the German artist who handcarved them had passed away, so they only have horizontal frames left (very nicely priced, I might add):
Thanks Momma Rae :D I did make her and the girls love to play with her! I have her up in my shop, but maybe will try to do a tutorial for her if I find time in the next week or two.
Have a great weekend!!!
And Donna - I'm off to email you about that trade!!!!

Otherwise, I would suggest going to a waldorf school shop to see if they carry them. Most of them seem to! :D Good luck & HTH!
Happy Summer (and Winter) to all my global friends!
