Enjoying WonderlandToday will be another FIAR co-op, where we “row” the book Roxaboxen. What a lovely book! If you have not read it, you should. It will inspire your children to make a magically fun village — right in their backyard, with streets lined with pebbles and shells and whatever else they can find.
I hope you enjoy the wonderland within your school and life today. Pictures later.

Approaching-50 mother of four. Thrifter. Content with lots of clothes bought for very little money. Loves retro. (That could be styles from the 40s and 50s. And sometimes stuff even older than that. And sometimes stuff from all time, all mixed up together!) Bluffs about decluttering but secretly loves STUFF. Goes through stages. Has standing and staring spells before rearranging the entire home. Just because. Tune in each day to see what new outfit comes home from G.W. Boutique next. (That's Goodwill, by the way.) Oh, and she owns a spoiled beagle named Annie. And this blog.   <div align="center"><a href="http://www.amothersjournal.com" title="A Mother's Journal ~ A Bit of Birdsong"><img src="http://www.innatelygray.com/images/abitofbirdsong_120_200.jpg" alt="A Mother's Journal ~ A Bit of Birdsong" style="border:none;" /></a></div>    
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.

We love that book. Last fall when we went camping we were the only campers in the remote campground. It was filled with trees. The kids literally raked rows of leaves and such clean all through the trees around our camper and set up a Roxaboxen village. They dragged picnic tables to each set up and played for hours everyday. I took pictures of the ‘town’ they built and blogged about it but when I changed my template things got all messed up. Maybe I should redo it. They did a great job.
Dear Lynn,
We’ll have to check our library for this book; it sounds like it’s right down our alley
.
Love,

Marqueta, you would love this book! This book is indeed you and your children to a T! Let me know if you don’t find it. I can send you mine. xoxo
