Poetry and Tea
I’m not sure why poetry and tea pair so well together. Truth be told, there isn’t much that tea doesn’t pair well with in our home. We love tea and relish the opportunity to try new teas often. We also really love poetry.
We Didn’t “Just” Get a Dog
In December, our family got a dog. Slow winter rhythms brought much-needed rest, sweet moments of togetherness, and expansion in everyone’s heart for this new addition to our family. If that was the end of the story, it still would be a great one.

Developing a Homeschool Strategy
I’ve found that many moms don’t have a strategy when it comes to homeschooling. I know that when I don’t have a strategy it starts to feel like I am winging it. That’s usually when I have to start asking myself questions like: *How is this serving me? *How is this serving the kids? A
