I know, I know... I'm a month behind with Christmas, Hyatt's birthday, our BIG surprise. The new year has started off with so much action! Spencer Manufacturing got a huge job done, which means we have our papa home again to spend time with us (for more than an hour or to sleep), our visitors have all gone home (but it was great to have so many people show their love to us), and we finally have snow!
I've really been reading and focusing on attempting to move toward a positive rhythm in our house. In Waldorf homes and mentality, every child (and person) does better when each day has a typical pattern or rhythm, including household chores, being outside, dancing and singing to music, story time, etc. It's different from a "schedule" because it's not set in stone and has room to flex and grow with the day and as your children and household grows. There's a wonderful blog we love, called the Parenting Passageway. She's been writing a lot about rhythm this new year and here are the links!
