Our garden is winding down already. The frost we had last week nearly finished off the melons and cucumbers, but everything else is still at least partially alive. There are lots of autumn vegetables out there to harvest; fennel bulbs, beet, squash, pumpkins, potatoes... sometimes I think they are my favorite. I love creating slowly simmered soups with them. Tonight at the birthday boy's request it will be fennel and potato soup.

Happy birthday to my firstborn! It is so hard to believe that he is 11 already. He has stretched me and made me grow as a mother. He loves facts and puzzles and figuring out how things work. I love the way he plays with and watches out for his younger siblings. I'm so thankful that God placed him in our family!

All the windows are shut tight and the Christmas l

All the windows are shut tight and the Christmas lights around them are on- in the middle of the day in September trying to add a bit of cheer. We are on our third day of smoke so thick that we can't see the sun. We are mostly staying indoors to avoid the burning in our eyes and throats. We are keeping busy with lessons, nature journaling, salve making, sourdough bread baking, and laundry. I am thankful that we don't have any fires very near to us, but praying for all those who do and the firefighters on the fire lines.

The two year old's version of nature journaling.

The two year old's version of nature journaling. It can be challenging to homeschool with a busy 2 year old... I am often asked by newer homeschool moms how it is even possible! My best tip is to make little ones feel as included as possible. I have several little activities to keep her occupied during some of our more focused lessons, but many times she is able to join in her own way. She sings along during hymns and folksongs, she paints in her own nature journal, she listens to some of our group reading. I also set aside some time to read a few picture books just for her and she commonly helps me with lunch while the older children work independently or have a bit of free time. Overall our school days with a 2 year old go smoothly, but they are not perfect and not without interruption.

Tomorrow we start our new school year and this incredibly organized binder makes me happy! The school supplies are also neat and tidy, the rest of the house not so much. I am excited for all the new relationships my children will be forming through the pages of living books in the next few months!
