The Simple Woman’s Daybook for August 29, 2016

Looking out my window … The sky is blue blue blue

I am thinking … about our fall schedule with soccer and piano and organ and drama. Oh my.

I am thankful … for AmblesideOnline. We’re coming to the end of a very productive term on Friday. We’ve finished three of our books for the term.

One of my favorite things … break week! Looking forward to next week!

I am wearing … a summer knit dress. It’s hot outside. I should be walking the dog, but I’ll probably do a video instead. Too hot.

I am creating … covers for our new assignment spiral notebooks. I found public domain pictures, made the image with name in picmonkey, printed them, then used my sticker maker to cover the print on the spiral notebooks … we’ll start using them after break:

I am about to listen to … some of CiRCE’s Contemplation of Home. The CDs came Saturday and I haven’t broken into the package yet.

I am hoping … to get my steps. Probably going to do a Leslie Sansone video from YouTube.

I am learning …

In my kitchen … I’m thawing frozen Sloppy Joes for dinner.

In the school room … everyone was done before 1:00. That’s a first. And pretty wonderful.

Board room … I was looking back through Pinterest for inspiration, and found this post of Mystie’s: Homeschool Mama, You’re Not a Teacher. I agree, what we do is more akin to tutor than teacher.

Post Script … I was very excited to get to talk with my friend Pam Barnhill about getting the year off to a good start on her Your Morning Basket podcast.  It went live last week, you can hear it here.

A moment from my day … We had a really great homeschool day this morning:
