Another Joy

Another life.  One I have longed for my whole life.  Another precious one.  Our longed for child. All babies are very different.  Just when you think you’ve got it, you know what you’re doing, they change it up.  God lets you know that you aren’t in control. So was my pregnancy with our third child. …

homeschooling through this winter

We took things very slow.  Living was more like homeschooling this past winter.  As I shared in my last post, we moved homes.  We are now in our new home and it is truly a dream come true, a blessing from God.  But it was not without sacrifices.  I’m thankful my littles are young and…

on moving homes

Moving houses is something. It is a tremendous loss.  The memories.  The solidity of it all.  Having a house to call home. We intended to move.  This is a good move.  I needed a second bathroom.  Wouldn’t that be nice.  And a garage. But 8 years.  My babies were born here.  I mean — here.  And here….

On defending why I homeschool

Lately my son has been asked the question, almost everywhere we go whether at Target or a restaurant or the doctor’s office, “oh are you in school now?” For some reason I cringe. I don’t know why I cringe. I very proudly homeschool my children. I believe this is what is best for them. I…

favorite posts from 2015

Wildflower Ramblings is an unexpected blessing in my life.  I started this blog thinking it would just be a journal of my parenting and homeschooling and it has now turned into so much more.  Friendships, accountability, a source for creating, and my livelihood. This has been the year of realization, acceptance, longing, Reggio Emilia, marriage, moving, and becoming…

around here

I haven’t shared recently because a lot has been going on.   That doesn’t mean we haven’t been homeschooling or learning or loving. For one, we moved from our beautiful country road.  This is a good move.  We had a tiny, wonderful house for 8 idyllic years.  But it is time for more than one…

she wants to be a princess

I love watching my dear girl prance around the house. If I leave her side, at any given moment, she is absolutely guaranteed to come back with a purse, an extra skirt or dress, and any other two to three accessories. Leaving the house? She needs her phone, her purse, her baby, and probably her…

Look at the frog: respecting our children

Just today, we walked to the pond down our road.  John loves to dive right in.  Swimming to the deep middle and then back again.  He is so daring and uninhibited.  May prefers to splash in the shallow waters.  She claws the wet sand with her fingers. Her suit has more sand in it than…

our homeschooling days

Our summer has been a bit chaotic.  I consider myself a stay-at-home-mom.  But the reality is is that I juggle much more than just the kids and the household (and I don’t mean “just”!)  I am in the Army Reserve and had to leave my kids and work a whole lot this summer.  I love…

practical life skills: vacuuming

Children naturally want to participate in the daily activities they see adults in.  Dr. Montessori introduced these activities in a very accessible way for children to learn and excel in.  These are called practical life exercises and they help a child become independent in his/her environment.  They help a child to do it by themselves….
