Easter Festivities

Grandma Moldenhauer

{REVIEW} Winter Nature Study
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass This has been our first year adding …
First Day of Spring
“SPRING, SPRING, SPRING!” {Please sing in your mind {or out loud – NO JUDGEMENT} to the Spring song from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers} I’m not going to lie – our first week of spring was a little rough. We are all in this totally foreign situation, with countless unknowns, and I feel like I …
