A little more info...

I realised yesterday that I didn't tell you that much about my family.  We are a family of 5.  My husband and I have 3 wonderful children.  Two boys 8 and 6 and a daugher 2.  My husband is a Modern Languages Teacher and I am a childminder. 

I have 3 new children starting in September and I hope to have made most of my waldorf type changes by then.  I particularly want to have the rhythm part sussed by then to hopefully have some flow to our days so that having 6 children in my house until 6pm will not be too hectic.

I also love to craft. I can knit, crochet and sew.  I have a desire to learn to needle felt and try my hand at woodwork to inspire my sons and get them away from electrical type gadgets, but we'll see.

I'm currently starting to look at my autumn planning for childminding so any ideas for great autumn books preschool up to age 8 would be gratefully received.

Welcome


Our Waldorf inspired life has only recently begun, but I love what I have learnt so far.  I hope to share our journey here as we change our home and our lives to what I hope will be calmer, more fun filled and more in tune with nature.

Many of the changes I have already made have been inspired by books I am reading.  I hope to share these books with you over the next few weeks, along with photos of daily life.

So my first photo on this blog is aptly of the first few strawberries out of the garden today. They were delicious.
