There is an old saying: “If everything matters, then nothing matters.” As we get older, we often find ourselves surrounded by years of accumulated possessions. Some of our possessions are connected to a beautiful memory, a special person, or a significant time or place. Other things are, well, just… things. Many baby boomers say that physical possessions no longer hold the same pull that they did when they were younger. But, despite our changing priorities, we still end up surrounded by stuff. The problem is that a disorganized environment contributes to a cluttered mind...

Teaching multiple grades at once can feel overwhelming! Here are some practical tips from a seasoned homeschool mom.
If you've been reading Summer Wind for a while, then you know how absolutely obsessed I am with Bewitched. No, not the movie, but the old TV show from the 1960's. I am literally obsessed with it. My roommates can confirm this because I have Bewitched on my TV at all times and own almost all of the seasons on DVD. I love that it is light and funny and the biggest reason: the clothes. Samantha Stevens is one of the best dressed characters I have ever seen. I always watch it and then try to recreate some of her outfits-- 99% of the time, her looks are so put together and timeless! My parents recently recommended another older show that they thought I would like called That Girl starring Marlo Thomas. I ordered a season on Amazon and cannot get enough of it! It aired around the same years as Bewitched so the style is very similar! Take a look for yourself... via Google Isn't her style fabulous? I wish I could find more pictures to do Marlo's style justice because it is classic and feminine all at the same time! Have you ever seen That Girl? Have a fabulous day! Yours, sCe
Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books remain for many a formative literary experience of our childhoods: we retain, as if they were our own memories, vivid fragments of little Laura’s adventures with her older sister Mary, her younger sisters Carrie and Grace, and their parents Caroline and Charles, the former calmly capable, the latter bringing joy with his fiddle and songs. Part of the books’ appeal lies in Laura’s perspective: the plainer, naughtier sister, with a temper and selfish impulses—a child with whom any reader can identify. Then, too, Wilder records her experiences with attractive Chekhovian simplicity, patiently explaining the material details of pioneers’ daily lives, including how Pa oiled bear traps, how the women prepared for a dance, how to build a log cabin and make a latched door with no nails, hinges, or lock, and how to protect the house from a prairie fire.
