Beauty, Goodness and Truth

Having been inspired by Ann and Melissa Wiley I’ve come up with these, Our Rules For Beauty, Goodness and Truth:

The goal is daily to:
~Read Good books–not twaddle–this one is easy!

~Appreciate/create beauty through art (other’s and our own), music, and nature-i.e. nature walks-when we get to them!

~Engage in discourse of good ideas, think and discuss edifying & encouraging, thoughts/ideas/tpoics–this is a little harder…two uncommunicative teenagers, one 11-year old who is just not there yet, and a 1st grader and preschooler…not a lot of in-depth deep thinking going on here!

~Encounter Truth through prayer/quiet time/bible study.

And I am really trying to “let go” and allow my children to have lots of unstructured time to explore books, crafts, games, etc… This is hard for me as I am so used to creating structure for those in the family that MUST have that structure in order to live (yes, I mean the men of the family ;D).

 

Coram deo,

Lola

 

Inspiration

I’ve been inspired lately by Anna at Pleasant View Schoolhouse.  Inspired to blog more, photograph life more, and love domesticity more…
Thank you, Anna, you are a delight.

Blessings

I’ve blogged before about my Gratitude list…but today I thought I’d show you a few things for which I’m thankful.

marshmallow torch--yes I like my roasted mallows burnt slightly!

Update…sort of

I actually put up a post at my homeschool blog, Coram Deo Academy–wonders will never cease!! So, if you’ve wondered what is going on in our life read it there–be forewarned–it is brief!
