Good Vibes

 


Before my mother passed away at the end of June I had planned a camping trip for the end of July.

I was planning on going alone because no one wanted to go but my eldest daughter, 

Hannah, said she would like to go with me.

After my mother’s death I was dreading the trip…I just wasn’t feeling it at all.

I knew Hannah was coming though and because we don’t get to spend much time together 

I decided that I would go and enjoy myself.

We had the best time!!

I even played my guitar…which I have absolutely no talent for whatsoever.

I just strum away on it because it’s fun. 


It was so nice to spend time with Hannah.

I love that my grown children are so interesting. I truly enjoy spending time with them. 




We have bunnies at the Montessori school where I work! 

We’ve named them Maria and Mario after Maria Montessori and her son. 

The children love them and so does the faculty. 

So much cuteness and fun!


The children have been using water colours in the classroom.

It really is a privilege to be able to observe a toddler discover water colour paint for the first time.



We took a little hike along one of the lakes on the state forest where we were camping.

We also decided to come back again in September!

    I've been having my preK students experiment with watercolors too!! so fun for them.

    LOVE that you decided to go camping anyways....the woods, mountains and lakes are so charactic. At least for me. And how very special your oldest daughter said she would go. Is she the one with the children?

    I'm so glad you went camping and your daughter went with you. What a fun and relaxing time together. After such a loss, sometimes we feel like holing up and not doing anything. But it helps to get out and do things like this. What cute bunnies! And I love your love for exposing children to wonders like bunnies and paint.

    Oh, that lake is going to be amazing in September, blazing with color!
    I'm glad you had that camping trip with your daughter. It was undoubtedly a healing and relaxing time for you both. And yes, it is a blessing when your children enjoy spending time with you.

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
