This is our little art center. It's just a corner of our dining room, but I love it.
I used to keep all the art supplies out in the garage, but we never used them when they were out there.
So I chucked out our fancy tablecloths and removed a few leaves from the dining table to make more room, and then I turned this little corner of our dining room into an art station.
When she sat down and asked to paint, just because it was all there and visible, my heart sang.
P.S. Don't you love that wooden calendar by @treasuresfromjennifer? It's my favorite
Massive highlight for this mama and massive moment for this kid! Writing/drawing, anything using hand strength doesn't come easy for him but upon seeing his brothers interest in @artforkidshub he asked to try 1... specifically 'just 1' tutorial. However 1 turned in to 3 and I couldn't be prouder of his effort! He even tweaked the last tutorial and I love his final product!!

Isn’t that the truth? Two mamas I follow on Instagram that consistently remind me to find my Self while I run around momming: @everyday_runner_christy (@play4lifemoms) and @juliebravewriter. I’m sure a lot of you already follow them, but just in case you don’t, head on over and check out their gentle wisdom. (I first saw this quote on @homeschoolquotes, but if you know the origin, please let me know!)
One of my children is exactly like me. Maybe 2. And it can be a real problem, you guys. When I am having a stressful day, sometimes the clashes between me and my mini-mes are loud and messy. But when I have the ability to step outside myself in the heat of moment and observe the situation, empathy swells up for little me. It is ok to say to yourself that this is hard, and then remind yourself that this is normal and this will change. I saw that sentiment recently on @amandasfavorites, and I saw this quote most recently at @amberlinmarshall. #letthembelittle #peacefulparenting #momquotes #momquote
Super happy with the way this little project turned out in our dining room. I bought this fantastic Orders of the Animals calendar by @kelzuki a couple years ago and have been wanting to display the pages since we moved in.
We just got a couple 8’ pieces of wood on clearance at Lowe’s (and had them cut each piece in half there), screwed them to the wall, tacked in some nails to hang these little black clips, and clipped the artwork up!
Definitely a great addition to the “homeschool” aesthetic we’ve got going on
These are the books I've read aloud since Sept, and might I add this was the first year we enjoyed reading aloud (other than picture books) Thanks to @readaloudrevival and her book 'The Read Aloud Family' for the inspiration to start ❤️ Even though we're finishing up the 'homeschooling year' we continue the read alouds as the kids love it (as do I). For the upcoming year I'm combining Torchlight, Build your Library and Brave Writer for literature based homeschooling curriculum. #readaloudfamily #readaloudrevival #bravewriterlifestyle #kidsbooks #kidsbookstagram #kidsbookswelove #childrensliterature #homeschooling #homeschoolcollective #homeschoolmama #charlottemasoneducation #secularhomeschool
