Collage Friday - Accomplishments and Interests

After last week's hectic music camp schedule we all needed this week to do just what our hearts desired.

For me, I had some projects that needed tackling, and I wanted the kids to have some precious time to be bored and creative.

I'm happy to say that it's been a wonderful week.

Next week we will be on vacation, and when we get back I can already feel the school year creeping in upon us {which is actually a good thing because I think we've missed schoolwork}.

Collage Friday - Music Camp

Greetings from music camp!

This week we've been leaving our house at 7:15 each morning, driving an hour to downtown Atlanta, spending a full day at music camp, and arriving home around 5:30.

We're tired, happy, and considerably more musical!

The kids have spent their days is choir, handbells, music history class, art, games, performances, and much more. The culmination is a performance this afternoon (Friday) of a pirate musical.

Collage Friday - Being Intentional About Doing Nothing

This week is one of several in our summer that I have been intentional about having NOTHING on our schedules. No classes, camps, volunteer commitments, or other things to take up our week means we are forced to just BE.

I remember the busy days of our schoool year, and I know there will be busy days coming in just another month or so. 

It's IMPORTANT to just let our children have time for unstructured activities. It's IMPORTANT for moms to rest and do things other than school.
