I have hundreds of DM’s in my inbox after I post I have hundreds of DM’s in my inbox after I posted about a controversial topic on my stories this morning. In true social media fashion, the response is overwhelming. Meanwhile, I posted some lovely garden photos yesterday and get all of 5 comments on them. 😑

This is why social media is so successful, am I right? It’s nice to see you all in my DM’s but please make your way over here from time to time. 😉 I honestly stay away from IG because of the addictive nature, but at the same time I’ve made so many friendships here that I truly value. There’s been times where I walk away from it altogether for weeks at a time. But every time I come back I’m reminded of how many kindred spirits that are out there, fighting the good fight. Doing the kingdom work we are called to do in a world where our culture doesn’t want there to be “right” or “wrong”. 

I can’t tell you how many “I feel so alone in this” messages I receive. It is so difficult going against the grain. Against all cultural norms. You feel like an alien… but I want you to know that you aren’t alone! Keep faithfully plodding and discipling to your children, my friends!

These garden photos are from last month! With this heat wave we are having we just harvested a TON of zucchini, squash, and cucumbers!

I’m focusing heavily on how we use narration in our homeschool, but if you have specific questions about it, I would love for you to 1. Take the poll in my stories, and 2. Ask any questions you may have about narration in the comments so that I can answer them in my video! ❤️

📚 We are moving right along with term three of 📚 We are moving right along with term three of our school year. Slow but steady, we will finish up mid June and I’ll begin prepping for next school year in July and August! 📚

Here’s some of my random old and new tips + what I’ve been doing to help keep organized with the CMEC. 

01. Keep a regular day for nature outings or field trips. We have two days a week where I intentionally plan a hike or museum visit, etc. One is usually at the middle of the week and the other is at the end. It offers great variety to our weeks.

02. Notebook! I have had the girls consistently notebook this year, and it’s been such a delight to go back and see my form 1b student’s progress! I have a video coming out about how we notebook and why you should try it very soon! 

03. To stay on track with our morning timetable I’ve been writing the time we end each lesson in my logbook. It’s really changed how productive I am in making sure we get everything on our timetable done for the day. (I have a video on my logbook if you’re interested in learning more about that!)

04. And 05. Popsicle sticks! Friends, if you’re already a CMEC family, use these to help you choose which activities you review! I have on these for old singing games, French songs, folk dances or Swedish drill routines. I’ll share more on what I have on ours, specifically, but it’s fun because the girls and I get to be surprised rather than me choosing what we review!

06. Art instruction. Originally I had us doing three art lessons per week in the afternoon, but it didn’t allow for enough free choice, so we’ve reduced it down to one formal lesson a week for six weeks, then we change the method. So right now we are in week two of our chalkdrawing lessons. After six weeks we will switch to brush drawing instruction for the remainder of the term! As Charlotte Mason recommends, we draw from memory, model, and from imagination. 🌞

Spotlight Weekly Link-Up | Week 51: Summer Red

Hello darlings! Today Jacqueline and I styled summer red as our trend, and I’m loving how fabulous this dress looks with a top knot. I wore this for our rehearsal dinner, and haven’t worn it since, so I decided to pull it out and style it a little differently! I chose a classic twisted pearl necklace and some chic leopard heels to dress up this fancy frock. How would you style this dress? Do you believe it could be dressed down? I think pairing it with an olive green vest and cognac boots in the Fall would dress it down a bit, right? Hope you are having a fabulous week!
The lovely Jacqueline and I post our link-ups every Thursday! This week our theme is outfits that feature summer red! Come back weekly to visit us! (Click after the break to link-up!)
HOW TO LINK-UP:

1. We kindly ask that you follow the two hosts: Elle from Living in Color Style and Jacqueline from Stylin’ In St. Louis via Bloglovin or GFC! We don’t have a guest host this week! (The first two links in the link-up.)

2. Use the button provided on Elle or Jacqueline’s side bar or link back to the link-up on your blog.

3. Enjoy reading other blogs and make new blogger friends!

SPOTLIGHT:

This week’s spotlight is Amy of Cupcakes & Couture. Her patterned outfit from last week is beyond amazing, so make sure to stop by her blog and say hello!
NEXT WEEK: Next week, instead of styling a trend as our spotlight, we want to celebrate your individual style! It’s a FREE WEEK, so you can link up any item, color or pattern you like! Thank you so much for reading, and for linking up!

I needed to accomplish a lot today. There was more I needed to accomplish a lot today. There was more unpacking and organizing to be done, pictures to be framed, meal planning to do, laundry that needed folding, bike rides to be had, meals to be prepared, sourdough to be prepped and lesson planning + pre-reading to do. Oh and dishes. So many dishes. 😅

I do essentially all of the inside housework aside from taking out the trash + recycle, but for a season my husband helped out while N was small by doing dinner dishes and sometimes even preparing dinner so I could nurse her after we ate. But as of late, I’m trying something new where I don’t ask my husband to clean up after dinner and instead I do it myself. I don’t mind it, and since my girls are old enough to get their own pj’s on now, I’ve been doing dinner clean-up (as well as lunch and breakfast clean-up and prep!) before I head upstairs to tuck them in, read them a story and sit with them while they fall asleep. Call me old fashioned, but I’m happy to do it, and I delight in my husband being able to enjoy some time with the girls after dinner instead of clean up a mess after a long day of working.

I’m not really sure where I’m going with this post - I’ve felt pulled in so many directions today and it’s something I feel often, (and I’m sure so many of you can relate) but after five months without a home to care for and nurture I simply can’t feel frustrated or annoyed at my list of 10,000 things I need to do. Instead I pray my way through each task. I sip tea in between. I light a candle and wear my great-grandmother’s apron as I work. I read notes like the one my six-year-old left for me this morning and I weep tears of gratitude and joy. Happy Sunday, my friends. ❤️
