Chores.
Cleaning.
Meals.
Naps.
School.
Bedtime.
Then at the end of the day not much fun was to be had. I hate that. But I haven't found a good balance that I can keep up.
I am currently focusing on doing little things to bring peace and joy. Fun learning. Childhood at its best.
I play quiet classical music as much as I can.
Put essential oils in the diffuser.
Set out fun craft supplies. Different ones then our normal. But keeping our normal out too.
If we can keep things semi clean. And have lots of craft time it feels the best. I don't do well well in a real messy place. Or a clean one. But honestly the really clean one stresses me the most. Cause it can't be undone.
Today I am pulling out some natural clay and our pottery tools. I had forgotten we had it. But I know it will be a hit. Yesterday I brought out our stamps. They loved it. And I realized I need to get more ink pads. And a basket that holds them all. 3 small containers isn't the best set up.
I recently bought pastels and charcoal drawing supplies. But kinda forgot about them. I plan to pull them out soon too.
I also took several totes of books out to my shed a long time ago. I have decided to bring them in. I don't honestly have room for them. But I'm going to buy brackets and bring them anyways. I want the children to have better access to all I can give them. The girls have some empty wall space for shelves.
More youtube how to videos. More fun.
All the children are pouring lots of time into garden planning and dreaming. We can't wait.
I want fun. I want natural learning. I want calm peace. And what I keep finding is I have to be more intentional in it all.
So here is to trying again.
