I signed the girls and me up to do this. It is a Nature Journaling on-line class at Camp Creek Press. We have been looking at some books on making books and getting some ideas. I am thinking about a mini-nature journal as well as a few others. Maybe next week-bookmaking!
This has been a really busy week with extra outside activities added into our regular busy schedule. Yesterday we went rollerskating/blading. It is a monthly homeschool event that Molly has really come to enjoy. Luckily I found our old plastic, playschool, over the shoe skates in the garage for Ginger. She was in heaven, shuffling around that rink with the big kids.
Today was the monthly trip to an indoor sports facility to jump in bouncies and blow up slides, kick ball, soccer…..It is tons of fun for the kids and another chance for Moms to chat. Today I met a couple of new families.
We are really lucky in our neck of the woods to have so many homeschooling families. We have several homeschool groups; religious, secular, inclusive, unschoolers. All are very active. I can’t really imagine it any other way. Between the homeschool families from our La Leche League group to the Several families from Jake’s preschool class that went on to homeschool, we never felt isolated. It is so nice for our out side the box lifestyle choices to seem completely run of the mill with these people. And making new friends is always so exciting!
Tomorrow we are going to a local yarn shop for a drop spindle and spinning class. Sure to be a big hit!! I promise photos.
One last tid bit of info–This morning I found a link to this raw food site. It looks great and it is full of more links to check out. I was about 95 % raw from last March until just after Thanksgiving. I felt so great! Once the cold weather hit I dropped back to about 20% raw. It sure gets cold and damp here. But my husband bought me a food dehydrator for xmas so hopefully that will help this winter. Well now that Spring has sprung it is time to shed my winter coat. I am back to my raw eating habits and daily walking and I must say it feels good.

It is so cool that you have such a great homeschooling community. We’ve considered homeschooling but it is very rare in France so we wonder how we will socialize Felix and find support through other families. It is probably the major factor that is stopping us from doing it.
Can’t wait to see your book projects!

SARAH—I am always surprised to hear that homeschooling would be rare in other countries, but the education system in other countries is probobly much different than here too. Thanks for stopping by!
ALISSA—You could join us!! Just stay with the group I don’t want to have to come looking for you. I don’t have time for that. JK
LORI—Yahooooo!
