I worried about just throwing thoughts out there, but I think simple is best. After graduating two, I know that simple has always worked best for us. There are Caddie Woodlawn paperdolls on line that we enjoyed. http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/kids/dolls/caddie/index.htm Lynn Oh, good!

I love all those ideas. We have been reading chapter books together and will be starting Caddie Woodlawn this week just to get a mindset. I hope i can make this happen. I suspect that i will be back here often checking in for more great ideas. thanks so much…you have encouraged me not to over think it, which i tend to do. I love all those ideas.

In fact, I wish I had started younger with Michaela. I would just do fun stuff. So many things come to mind. Nature walks. Working with dough to make biscuits. Paperdolls cut from package paper (was that Little House) and then decorated with crayons. You seem so great with sewing, maybe make an apron from old clothes or something as a lesson in hand-me-downs or reusing. A little garden to grow your own food. Radishes are one of the best for this. They grow quickly and are fun to harvest. Putting hair in rag curls. Doing lessons on a little blackboard. I can't wait to hear what you do!

She is 7 and i am hoping not too young to grasp it. Do you have any good pointers for another homeschool mom...we don't have aprons or bonnets but want to make some attempt... my daughter and i are both intrigued with this idea.

I am enjoying so much re-reading them. Michaela and I have not gotten to Farmer Boy yet. I can't wait! Jessamy, you are on our list of wild west cousins! Expect a letter soon. LadyM, I would love to have you (and anyone interested) to join us! I think it's going to be so much fun. As I mentioned before, I'm hoping to cultivate some lady-like habits as we go and I'm hoping that some of this old-fashioned stuff will spill over into other days.

I enjoyed checking out your blog this morning. Thank, Vikki. I will be over in moments! Have fun fishing today! :) Marqueta, I know you love to live an old-fashioned life. I love that about you, and it appeals greatly to me as well. You inspire me to try harder. The package did go out this morning. I hope it arrives safe and sound! Lynn Thanks, Jen.
