Homemaking and planning are well on my mind this week and I have a few links to share regarding these subjects. I feel drawn within and am very excited about what is going on within the four walls of my home these days!
Anyway, here are some lovely links:
Renee’s post about the Early Years (birth through seven): http://heirloomseasons.blogspot.com/2011/05/waldorf-early-years-resources.html
The Complete Girl’s Guide To Home Skills: http://www.wholesomechildhood.com/GirlsGuide/ and The Boy’s Guide to Homemaking Skills: http://www.wholesomechildhood.com/BoysGuide/. These are a Christian resource, but I think they could be helpful to anyone, and even adults looking to establish rhythm and routine in this area! And, this could be great to combine with Jamie Martin of Simple Homeschool’s baking posts and have a whole “Summer Mama Camp” and set up some ideas for nurturing your home as part of your love for your family where everyone takes part: http://simplehomeschool.net/teaching-kids-to-bake/
And last but not least, I asked Rebecca over at Wee Dragon to take something she wrote and turn it into a blog post….and she did! I am so excited, and would like all of you to take a look regarding her thoughts on Waldorf Education and guilt: http://weedragon.wordpress.com/2013/07/24/real-waldorf-and-homeschool-guilt/ Excellent post that resonated with me!
Many blessings,
Carrie
Thanks for posting that link! Just so you know, I just posted the Part 2…

..in case anyone wants to continue reading more of my ramblings on the homeschool guilt thing!!
I love the Homemaking book and I can’t wait to print the one I just ordered out! What a gem find.
Rebecca is full of insight and wisdom, what a honor to all Waldorf Mamas!
Have you seen these books, one for boys, one for girls? They are also by Martha Greene. I wonder if they are the same. Catholic Heritage Curricula recommends them.
Eva – By the samples, they look to be the same. Highly recommended!
Blessings and love,
Carrie
That’s what I thought. Funny, that there are two formats.
