Flowers and Turtles....

I love nature and I find solace being around flowers and wildlife. The turtle is the writers symbol and continues to remind me to write. If you have a story to write....remember the turtle.

It is a slow process, sometimes you have to stick your neck out and sometimes you have to retreat into your shell.

Namaste,

Things I love....


Zoo pictures....





Zoo visit

We visited the zoo to get out and to see some animals we've been studying. The kids had a blast and you won't believe what happened to mom....a lion peed on me. Yes...I said a lion peed on me. In my face....my kids loved that.

Man and Animal Block




Pictures of kids art.....



Beautiful art.....

An artist makes art out of what they have in their environment. It could be words, scraps of material, their imagination, clay, music, etc...

My children and I were busy making art out of what we had in our minds and the materials we had in our home....

I told the story of St. Michael and the battle of good over evil. Afterwards we all painted what we saw in our minds....

This was one of the days that reminded me I'm doing the right thing by homeschooling. All my days are not this "perfect" but this one was.

I really enjoyed watching them paint and painting with them.
