My daughter and I enjoy Jasmine’s blog, Joyfully at Home.  Though she wasn’t intending to talk about that first kiss on the wedding day this is what struck me about her post (and many other readers too).  This is going down in my “Mother of the Bride Notebook” (Not that I have one yet, but it sounds like a good idea to start one!)  I like Jasmine’s gracious approach to topics that often get legalistic.

Susan at Home Grown Kids, reflects on not just the words, but the meaning of words as she considers having teenagers or young adults in her home.

Kelly summarises after going to a seminar – the main point for me here was – our world view determines our life.

Casey gives honour to her grandma – made me think of my grandma.  I love this poem!

Though I don’t use the Workbox system this was a very good read – I like to see how people tweak things and make it fit their own situation.  Mamma Jen has done a great job of describing her tweaks!  If I had younger children I would definitely use workboxes for some of our day.

My girls love headbands – and they look all too easy to make!  Jess would really like more of a scarf looking headband so maybe we’ll just have to tweak this tutorial to see what we can come up with.

I love aprons –  in days gone we have used an apron made from a teatowel but these days I seem to like bigger aprons – this one looks interesting – it is bigger and yet it is made from teatowels (well, 2 of them!)  I’ve even gone and bought myself 2 teatowels (we’ll see though if they get transformed to an apron!)
