Welcome

I am a young lady married to my true love and living in northeast Washington. I love being a mommy to four small humans. I enjoy creating and designing; a watercolor painting, a healthy bar of soap, a delicious meal, a toy for my little one. I love to read and you will find me reading anything from fiction to Read More…

We took advantage of an afternoon of sunshine to walk across the road and down to the creek. I love that with homeschooling we finish lessons early enough to have afternoons for play and exploration. I guard our afternoons pretty jealously, at least for now.

Daddy came home late last night from classes acros

Daddy came home late last night from classes across the state. The children were all excited to see him this morning. There is also much excitement over opening the new Dominion expansion that arrived while Daddy was gone. The boys have been so anxious to open it, but I wouldn't even let them open the Amazon box without Daddy. I think it was worth the wait!

It's probably time for a #fridayintroduction - especially since I don't think I ever have before! Hello, I am Celeste. I have been happily married to Andrew for 11 years and we have 4 crazy and wonderful children, ages 10 down to 2 Here are a few random facts about me.
.
1. I was homeschooled from 2nd grade on. My mom first pulled me out of school because I was overwhelmed in the classroom setting and would cry every night about all the noise and distraction. Homeschooling was the perfect fit for me.
.
2. I love books and reading, so was naturally drawn to a literature based education for my own children. As a child I would read for hours, now my oldest is following in my footsteps .
.
3. I have had both homebirths and a hospital birth with my babies. Both were amazing in different ways!
.
4. I am a mountain girl at heart. My early childhood was in Montana, then we moved to California. I always said I would move back to the mountains someday. Now I am blessed to live in beautiful northeast Washington and I love it here!
