Welcome to the Wild & Free Gang!

May 4, 2021

At the end of February, a week after his due date, we welcomed little E into our family. The ensuing weeks were a blur of postpartum chaos, coupled with an impending move and an unplanned kitchen renovation due to some flooding. I couldn’t seem to find the time or will to write. If I had … More Welcome to the Wild & Free Gang!

The two week countdown has begun! Holidays are a great opportunity to channel the excitement of the season into educational activities. But honestly yall the holidays can be exhausting...so these are *easy* holiday crafts that make you feel like a bonafide Pinterest mom while working on literacy skills to boot. WINNING.
I wondered how it would play out - all my ideals of homeschool and what education should be and look like. I studied education at @cambridgeuniversity and found a kindred spirit in the life and writings of Charlotte Mason, but would her century+ old ideas hold up to modern children? The answer is yes, a hundred times, yes.
Stories are powerful tools. We can teach our children facts, but if we want them to embrace and understand, we must also speak to their hearts. Narrative is central to human nature.

Me and my Sharpie marker are feeling pretty clever today...
Every night, I get the munchkins all tucked in. The baby has been rocked and snuggled into his sleeper sack, and my older two have gone- or rather been led- through their bedtime routines. After one final round of blown kisses and I-love-yous, it's lights out for them and free time for mama. And by free time I of course mean I rush around picking up forgotten Duplos, letting the dog out, and cleaning up the kitchen. But THEN, then I brew a cup of tea, open my laptop, and settle down to catch up on work. But yall, I am TIRED. I could just as easily go to bed at 8:00 with the boys. But I was watching a show on the @magnolianetwork called Super Dad with @dudedad and a dad on the show offhandedly said if Taylor was tired from having three kids π™žπ™© π™’π™šπ™–π™£π™© π™π™š 𝙬𝙖𝙨 π™™π™€π™žπ™£π™œ π™žπ™© π™§π™žπ™œπ™π™©. Taylor and I had the same reaction: 🀯 So take heart, tired parents, tonight we can go to bed knowing our day was spent trying our best and if we are tired, it means, yall, 𝕨𝕖 𝕒𝕣𝕖 π••π• π•šπ•Ÿπ•˜ π•€π• π•žπ•–π•₯π•™π•šπ•Ÿπ•˜ π•£π•šπ•˜π•™π•₯!
