Getting Back Into It

Life seems to be on hold from Samhain (Halloween) until Christmas/New Years for us. Since Ronan's birthday is on the 8th of January I think the holi-daze might last until after his party. Everything takes a back seat to preparing for the holidays. Planning, baking, crafting, knitting, sewing, cards, wrapping, etc, all get top priority. Homeschool is put on hold in a formal way and a more "unschooling" approch gains a footing. As the days grow dimmer and there is more to do and less day in which to do it, things fall by the side.

Now is the time to begin to pick them up again as the sun grows stronger and brighter!

Wash on Monday
Yoga on Tuesday
Mending and crafting on Wednesday
Library on Thursday
Play Group on Friday (starting in March)
Bake on Saturday
Rest and read scriptures on Sunday (and sometimes we go to sacrament)

It's a flowing guide really. For example we are going to the library today because some books we ordered arrived -so we did the wash yesterday (we still managed to sneek in about an hour to read some of Ether in the B of M and the Goddess chapter in Sprial Dance by Starhawk).

And just when I want to get a bit more serious and "accomplish" some things I look over and what do I find? A little bird in a co-op bag!
