Make & Listen Along

This week, like most weeks lately, has gone by with lightening speed. I know where all the time goes, but it still seems that we need to put in an order for a few more hours, with a extra side of sleep.

The crafty making has been quiet, but that does not mean things are not being made.

There has been:


plan making,
for new blog making,


and a whole lot of photo making,
and a wee bit of making insects, mating insects no less, a bit nervous (all in the name of scientific observation).


I have also been spending some time reading over the Brave Writer curriculum and making plans on the homeschooling front. 

Most of this has been done in the quiet moments, or with the kids giggling over the latest hilarious joke they have made up, that often includes some sort of bodily function (we do live with a seven year-old boy in the house after all). 

What have you been making?
What is on your playlist?

    We have been thrilled with the caterpillars that have been creeping along in our yard! Always a pleasure to see these fuzzy guys!

    I am excited that you have decided to use the Brave Writer curriculum as well! I still have yet to post our first experience which was amazing and so encouraging for us all.

    Today, leaf printing and clay sculpting and warm tea. Mmmmm....

      Caterpillars are so fun. And we found so many different kind up in NS!
      I am excited to get going with Brave Writer, still reading to wrap my head around it.
      Looking forward to seeing your art activities.

      Yes! Like minds.... ;-)
      Cicadas! Love Cicadas. We have only heard them a few times along the San Juan River trail, and found a molt, which was great fun for the little naturalist in the house!

    love the "decomposition" book!!!

    and my husband is eternally 7 at heart so the bodily function jokes never cease around here.

    I'm anxious to get back to my knitting. ;)

    I think your new site is fantastic, and we too just began with BraveWriter. We're going slowly...
