Time To Play
By Lynn, on December 13th, 2007
My daughter and I (mostly I) worked for about an hour in her room today to clean out some things to donate to Goodwill. I am sure she will get more things for Christmas, so I wanted to make space, but I also wanted to get rid of some of the “stuff” that has accumulated. Where does the ”stuff” come from?

Also, I had a few new things (thanks to Goodwill) that I had washed and dried and wanted to put in her room. Namely some curtains, a dust ruffle, and some pillow shams. Aren’t they great? Also, I have had a print by Jessie Wilcox-Smith that I have been wanting to frame, and I finally did that today. It is the print called Goldilocks.

Now that her room is pristine, we can get in there and play! We are about to do just that. I am sure you can see the doll houses that we made. They are ready and waiting…

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool.

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
What You Do Sow a thought, reap an action.

Sow a character, reap a destiny.
