Inspired

It's all about my kids right now.  I am so inspired to live creatively in each moment with them.  To play games, to have tea parties and learn new things.  To find every oportunity to make learning fun.  To pick up new materials and live inventively.  I picked up some great new books at the thrifstore in town for 25 cents each and we have learned about Abe Lincoln and so much more.  I love to be inspired!  Don't you!

If you know of any really great blogs where moms post about creative play and creative spaces for their kids, I would love to know of them!  That is the kind of blog I want this to be!

My heart may be a little bit country, but the sea has a piece of it too!

One of our family traditions is vacationing by the sea.  When I was a little girl our families favorite annual vacation spot was at the beach.  I have always been drawn to the ocean, the majestic waves reminding me of soo many things.  The awesome power of God, the ebb and flow of life, things constantly changing while often appearing to stay the same. 

We have been fortunate to acquire a little beach house (not quite on the beach but walking distance) that we share with extended family!  It has been a wonderful way to make memories with our children that will last a lifetime and connect to them in different ways than we can at home.  Life is simple there.  No extra stuff, no extra clutter.  Just exactly what we need for a getaway!  Even doing the laundry is simplified there!  It almost makes me wonder,"what is all the stuff we have at home and why do we need it?".

Dreaming of sunny days on the shore...
