In reply to Jennifer | The Deliberate Mom. I'll have to hunt the talk by Carl Honore down. It sounds fascinating! Thanks. :-)

I love this prompt to slow down.

A few years ago, I went to a talk by Carl Honore (In Praise of Slowness). It really prompted me to slow down and enjoy moments. You can watch this talk on Ted Talks actually. He covers other things like social media, internet, television, etc.

Thanks for sharing and linking up to the #SHINEbloghop.

Wishing you a lovely day.

I have enjoyed talking about these principles with some dear homeschooling mamas so much that I’ve created a series of paintings on the subject. If you’d like to take a look, they can be found here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/thesesmallblessings
Thank you!

In reply to Tonia. Using the yearly chart as a tool rather than a master is still a challenge for me! I love to be able to check off those boxes, but kids just don't learn in a steady manner. :-)

Good post, Sara. I was the same way when it came to reading lessons. Thankfully I have (slowly!) learned to use my yearly chart as a tool and not my master. But it’s still something I need to hear, especially as we’re closing out another school year.
