So much of homeschooling is about more than academ

So much of homeschooling is about more than academics. I want my children to not only know what is good, but to love what is good.

And I think that starts with the little things we faithfully put before them each day.

I don’t want our homeschool days to just be about

I don’t want our homeschool days to just be about finishing lessons and checking the boxes. It’s so easy to get distracted in doing that in all the management and busyness that come with homeschooling.

But I want to light a fire in their souls! To awaken a love for God, curiosity about the world, a desire for good books, an appreciation for what is true and beautiful, and a longing to keep learning even after their school days are over.

Comment WHIMSY and I’ll send you the links to these sweet books and little treasures! 💫

If your little ones love Maileg mice or Calico Critters, I think they’ll love these books just as much!

There’s just something so sweet about these tiny, whimsical worlds. Perfect for little ones who love all things cozy and miniature.

The Foxwood Tales books can be hard to find, but they do occasionally pop up on @thriftbooks for really good prices, so keep an eye out!

Another book I’m ordering that looks SO cute is Mouse’s Wood by Alice Melvin!

Do you have any others I should add to my list?

This is why ya thrift! I found a signed William Steig book for 25¢. 😭

Edited to add: I guess it’s a copy of his signature but I’m still happy to have it. It looks so authentic!

And then of course I had to go down a little William Steig rabbit hole…

He spent decades as a cartoonist and didn’t publish his first children’s book until he was 61! He went on to write and illustrate more than 30 children’s books, including some of our favorites, like Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, Amos & Boris, The Amazing Bone, and Brave Irene.

And maybe my favorite part… he published Shrek! when he was 83 and kept creating into his 90s. I had no idea!

So basically, thrift the books. Check for signatures. And apparently it’s never too late to start something new!
