Rute, thank you.

Ashley, thank you so much. And just enjoy the doll house. This, for us, has been spread out over nearly two years now and it is a very relaxed, cumulative thing that has become a part of our relationship. We are always finding little things now and saying, “Oh that would be cute in a doll house!”

I know exactly how you feel about working. It is not easy. If I did not love homeschooling so much, there’s no way I could keep going. And there are days that we don’t get as much done in an interactive sense (the way I really like it best), but I have found that I can find plenty to keep Michaela busy. I work 24 hours a week. I’d say math is the one thing I worry about when I’m not consistent with it. But for other subjects there are so many things that she can do without me. Word finds, drawing, writing, keeping a journal, painting, and handicrafts are all things we do for school. And thanks for asking about my health. I’m feeling better all the time and hope to continue on that path.

Thanks again,

Lynn

I have been reading your blog for about one month and I just wanted you to know how deeply it inspires and replenishes me. The pictures, you gentle love of nature, your love of Charlotte Mason and your ideas have lifted my spirits more than once. I have a daughter who is 9 and your idea of the year of the doll was so touching I asked Annie if she would like to do this and she of course said yes. We made our first room the other day out of a box from the grocery store.

I wanted to ask you a question since you work part-time from home. I also work part-time from home. I am a single mother to one child who attends a University Model Christian School two days a week and home school three days per week. I do foster/adoption home studies as a contractor so I can set my own hours and schedule and try to work when she is with her dad or when at school. I have found myself getting so tired and burned out lately really wishing I didn’t have to work, but I do. I am very thankful that I can work about 15 hours per week and that is all but still it is tiring schooling (which I absolutely love), working, cleaning etc. My question is, how do you do it all???? I read about your recent medical problems and I am praying that God will heal you and restore your body completely. I am a Christian as well. How much do you work during the week?

Sorry to ramble, but just wanted to say thank you for the beauty of your writings and your blog.

Bless you,
Ashley

April, I hope that Michaela will have sweet memories of these years.

Tonya and Janet, aren’t they cute!!!

Marqueta, they are little fuzzy bundles indeed!

Missy, the thing about bunnies is that some really don’t like to be held that much. Children are so in love with them when they are little, but they do scratch when they get bigger. Well, they can. Ours our friendly and you can pet them. We love picking clover and lamb’s quarter and plaintain and feeding them, but they don’t care to be picked up very much. We still love them though.

Pam,

Too adorable! What little bundles of bunnies.

Love,

Marqueta
