Well I'd pick one for my daughter's loft bed, which we both HATE making. Her room is purple so I'd probably choose http://beddys.com/collectio... though the seaside one is awfully nice too. And I love the mismatched sets too.
I'd heard about this company before and debated about one. They seem pricey, however if the quality is there....

How beautiful. How wonderful. A little sad but it's "see you later" and not "goodbye". I love where you are going!

Re: Innocence? O Bother (Why Bother for Your Children)

BeautifulCalling — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 08:16:28 -0000

Oh, I just love James Herriot's Treasury for Children. I discovered it through Sonlight, our homeschool curriculum. Anyway, thank you for sharing your thoughts on innocence. We just finished reading the house at Pooh corner and I cried at the end and shared this in our Facebook Homeschooling Group:

"Who has read The House at Pooh Corner chapter book? We just finished
reading it after lunch and I cried the last page and a half or so. My 6
year old came over to hug me while I read. It just broke my heart when
Christopher Robin is talking to his friend Pooh and explaining that he
is going away; that he won't be doing 'nothing' with him any more.
"They" won't let him. How very sad that his fun carefree, exploring
childhood days are left behind because he's school aged and off to
school. I'm not sure it's the best argument in the world but Winnie the
Pooh just made me thankful that I have the opportunity to homeschool my
children and that, Lord-willing, we will have many blessed days to do
"nothing", adventure, explore and learn."

I pray that I can feed my children the good, wonderful, pure things in life so that their appetite for all things wholesome will only grow as they do!!

Our first baby, I shouted the news out from the roof tops the minute I knew. Miscarriage was not even on my radar.
Until it happened.
I had to have a D & C (though thankfully I had a general for it and remember nothing at all except that I was so thankful when the darkness took over!!!)
The next three pregnancies, I shouted out the news from the roof tops. Much more hesitantly, knowing so much more now. But I shared none the less. Because as awful as sharing the news of a miscarriage is, for me, it would have been harder to deal with one when no one knew. It meant that friends and family could grieve along with me they way that they had celebrated the exciting announcement of a baby only weeks or months before.

But that's just me. Everyone is different and there is no right or wrong. Only 'right for you'.

So glad you put your story "out there" because you have no idea who you will help!

I am crying as I read too. How spot on you were about the early years creeping so slowly. We are half past seven and time is starting to speed up, just when I am finally starting to really savor them. I miss those bitty days with my girl {who also has two brothers in line after her!}
Thank you for this!!

Thank you. I love, love, love ideals but sometimes it's a challenge to figure out how to implement them or take practical steps towards those goals. I'm going to write these verses out and our family is going to hide them in our hearts over the coming weeks!

Lovely tour. We're the 'homeschool at the dining room table' family though I do have a table/corner that we're working on fixing up in the family room. Maybe I'll do a little tour when we're done that. We have a nice-sized laminated map to go up when we're done painting etc. It was $7 from Costco if was looking...

"a Christian home is never defined by what the children are doing…it is defined by what the parents are doing" Amen!
My husband and I often talk about how the term "Christian" is thrown around so loosely in our culture that it is frightening.
So thankful for your family's ministry. I was going to say thank you to you and your wife but realized I'm thankful for your whole family; I have a book of Sarah's on my nightstand and Joel's CD's often play in my home, bringing peace and beauty to our day.

I look forward to reading about a variety of things. I am a wife, stay-at-home homeschooling mom, of three (6, 5, 2). I'm love to read a little about how much freedom my children should have, our children playing with neighborhood children (issues with negative influence), sibling bickering, respect, settling into a family routine after summer, organizing our family time, building our marriage,

I have a little girl - 6 - and since turning 6, and spending time playing with older girls in the neighborhood, the past 6 months have been a challenge. This mama needs to rein her in, decrease outside influence and woo her heart back home again!!
