Handmade Nature Journal

Posted in Homemaking, and Homeschooling

Munchkin really loves drawing and nature, so it is only natural to want to combine the 2 activities.  We never seem to be able to find a nature journal that is “just right” for her.  She likes to personalize her things, so we decided to take that idea and run with it.

Review: Shades of Morning

Posted in Reviews

Shades of Morning by Marlo Schalesky Book Description: Marnie Wittier has life just where she wants it. Quiet. Peaceful. No drama. A long way away from her past.
