Rosie's Ramblings

hike at Bluff Point State Park

Some photos from when we were in Connecticut on our last night there. We took a walk at one of my favorite places, Bluff Point. It's a nice wide trail along the ocean and at the end, we watched the sunset. The perfect way to end our visit.

Pre-K Resources I'm Using to Homeschool

I'm in the middle of cleaning my house and I still have a pile of work to do, HOWEVER Adri Rose is having Quiet Time and the baby is sleeping so I thought instead I'd take this moment to quickly write out a little list of what I'm using with Adri for Pre-K this year, since I've been getting some questions.

Keep in mind, I have a VERY laid-back, Unschooling approach and this is more for getting her used to a routine and doing workbooks, not so much for learning since she already knows most of the stuff anyway #firstchild.

Okay, so, what do I use? I'm using this workbook that I got. I found it on Amazon and it basically just covers shapes, letter, numbers, and colors. So far she really likes it and we're doing a few pages a day.

For Bible, I'm having Adri watch these Moody Science films. There are six (I think?) different ones. (yes, we're old school and have a DVD and VHS player as well as the Roku and PlayStation lol).

For science, we are watching The Newton's Workshop (there's a whole bunch of them but that's the link to one). My mom used them with four youngest kids when they were little and they are SO good. I enjoy watching them too, so there's that ;)

For learning to read I am using Teach Your Child To Read In 100 Easy Lessons, and I also have this, but I'm still not sure when I'm going to start using either. Not really in a big rush over here.

We are also big fans of all the LeapFrog stuff as well. The Letter Factory one is the best for having kids learn the Alphabet while watching something.

I love these Five Senses books, Hearing, Touch, Taste, Sight, and Smell.

A few other things that we love for school are, Ferby colored pencils, this alphabet train puzzle, paints, the Colin and Jacqui Hawkins books, and (always!) Play-Doh. We do lots of play, keep things fun, spend time outdoors, and Adri helps with lots of cooking, and cleaning and such.

I think that covers everything! If I think of more I'll be sure to add it. Feel free to ask any questions!

"home again, home again, jiggity, jig"

We are finally home again! We got back Saturday afternoon and I've spent the better part of two days cleaning, unpacking, and settling in. The girls are so happy to be back and have been pulling all their toys out and spreading them (oh, joy!) all around the living room.

Adam was gone on his hunting trip when we got home but arrived back yesterday afternoon. We were SO happy to see him! I think that's the longest Adam and I have been apart since we started dating.

This week is a busy one. Adri is officially getting started with school (just preschool stuff) and I have all her books planned out and ready to go (we're homeschooling). So, we'll see how that goes.

Piper seems to have had another growth spurt and is talking more now. She's getting big SO fast. She and Adri Rose are still best of friends and now that they really play together with toys it's the sweetest.

So, the photos below: the first batch are from going out to dinner at this super neat place that James and Mandi (his girlfriend) took us too. It's called The Dog Watch, and has the best b.b.q. We sat outside, enjoyed the breeze, and feasted. It was such a fun evening!

The second batch of photos are from my dad's new place. They are finally all settled in and things are looking cozy.

The last photos are from a walk we took at Haley Farm. It's a nature preserve that my dad took us to all the time when we were growing up. I hadn't been there in probably 12+ years! Wesely, Claire and Co. went with my dad, the three youngest girls, Julia and me.

We had a really really wonderful time and I feel like we fit SO much into our visit. No trip to the beach though-it was too cold. Next year, I guess...

Now, I'm off to drink more coffee and tackle work.

Have a fantastic Monday!

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”

"I know what I should love to do - to build a study; to write, and to think of nothing else. I want to bury myself in a den of books. I want to saturate myself with the elements of which they are made, and breathe their atmosphere until I am of it. Not a bookworm, being which is to give off no utterances; but a man in the world of writing - one with a pen that shall stop men to listen to it, whether they wish to or not."

"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

“Her heart--is given him, with all its love and truth. She would joyfully die with him, or, better than that, die for him. She knows he has failings, but she thinks they have grown up through his being like one cast away, for the want of something to trust in, and care for, and think well of. . . .”

“To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.”

with your one wild and precious life?”

“Harry, there is never a perfect answer in this messy, emotional world. Perfection is beyond the reach of humankind, beyond the reach of magic. In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”

J.K Rowling.

"Finding success-in business, in family, in life- comes from somewhere deep inside. You have to work hard, apply yourself fully, do your homework diligently, but you also have to be true to your interests, your ethics, your ideas, your desires, and your passions. You can't breach your core values or overriding bliss, that deep sense of who you are. If you do breach your values, no amount of so-called success will matter, because it's the quality of the journey in life that really matters, not the destination. It's not about how many things you acquire or how much money you have when you reach the destination, but about how much fun and satisfaction you have along the way. That's what success is."
Sam Wyly.

"What are your choices? Whom are your choices for? Not just for yourself. Chose now whom you will serve, and that choice is going to affect the next generation, and the next generation, and the next. Choice never affects just one person alone. It goes on and on and the effect goes out into geography and history. You are part of history and your choices become part of history."
Edith Schaeffer.

“Anastasia reached the attic stairs, slowed down, and listened. She knew that the first step to asking about secrets is seeing how much you can find out by sneaking.”

“You can't buy history new.”
N.D. Wilson.

“Getting to the top of any given mountain was considered much less important than how one got there: prestige was earned by tackling the most unforgiving routes with minimal equipment, in the boldest style imaginable.”
Jon Krakauer.

“I hadn’t realized that music could unlock things in you, could transport you to somewhere even the composer hadn’t predicted. It left an imprint in the air around you, as if you carried its remnants with you when you went.”

“You only get one life. It's actually your duty to live it as fully as possible.”

“Push yourself. Don't Settle. Just live well. Just live.”
Jojo Moyes.

“It is a horrible thing, money. But it is also horrible to be the only one who hasn't got any. One of my chief complaints against people has always been that they had no respect for animals. But many people have a great respect for money. Animals with bank accounts of their own will be in a position to insist upon respect.”
Hugo Lofting.

“The best way of travel, however, if you aren't in any hurry at all, if you don't care where you are going, if you don't like to use your legs, if you don't want to be annoyed at all by any choice of directions, is in a balloon. In a balloon, you can decide only when to start, and usually when to stop. The rest is left entirely to nature.”
William Pène du Bois.

“Well, any love makes us vulnerable. Whatever we love will give the gift of pain somewhere along the road. But who would live sealed in spiritual cellophane just to keep from ever being hurt? There are a few people like that. I'm sorry for them. I think they are as good as dead.”

“And whether rich or poor, well or ill, happy or sad, books can be a refuge, they do not change with changing circumstance, they are the open highway to yesterday, today and tomorrow wherever you will to travel.”

“But housekeeping is fun. It is one job where you enjoy the results right along as you work. You may work all day washing and ironing, but at night you have the delicious feeling of sunny clean sheets and airy pillows to lie on. If you clean, you sit down at nightfall with the house shining and faintly smelling of wax, all yours to enjoy right then and there. And if you cook—that creation you lift from the oven goes right to the table.”
Gladys Taber

“The only meaningful thing we can offer one another is love. Not advice, not questions about our choices, not suggestions for the future, just love.”

“Here's my hunch: nobody's secure, and nobody feels like she completely belongs. Those insecurities are just job hazards of being human. But some people dance anyway, and those people have more fun.”

“If you feel something calling you to dance or write or paint or sing, please refuse to worry about whether you’re good enough. Just do it. Be generous. Offer a gift to the world that no one else can offer: yourself.”
Glennon Doyle Melton.

“My dear Prue, we are the inheritors of a wonderful world, a beautiful world, full of life and mystery, goodness and pain. But likewise are we the children of an indifferent universe. We break our own hearts imposing our moral order on what is, by nature, a wide web of chaos. It is a hopeless task.”
Colin Meloy.

"I salute you. I am your friend and my love for you goes deep. There is nothing I can give you which you have not got. But there is much, very much, that while I cannot give it, you can take. No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today. Take heaven!
No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instance. Take peace!

The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy. Take joy!

Life is so full of meaning and purpose, so full of beauty . . . that you will find earth but cloaks your heaven.

Courage then to claim it, that is all! . . . And so I greet you, with profound esteem and with the prayer that for you, now and forever, the day breaks and the shadows flee away."
Fra Giovanni.
