The weather in southeast Michigan has been so mild

The weather in southeast Michigan has been so mild for October, we’re loving it! Lots of trips to the park, library, and of course an abundance of time outside in our backyard with creative play. Notice the babydoll in her pink car seat? 💞👶🏼 I don’t have a newborn this year, but we always have extra babies we bring along 😉😉

I interrupted a tense portion of school for a round of Hot Wheels in the Hallway! 🚗🏎🚕🚃🏁(It was successful! 👏🏻) This year I’m teaching 3rd grade, 2nd grade, Kinder and Preschool. If that sounds like a lot, IT IS A LOT, lol. But one day at a time, one day at a time 💞💞💞💞!

Week 3️⃣ of @moodyseminary Grad school begins today! 📖💕I can’t be on here long, I’m at my office today bc I’ve got 9 chapters of textbook reading this week, plus Bible reading and assignments to write 😍but this stuff makes me feel alive! I love it so.

Next week we begin our homeschool year(#4!) and just as well, I love teaching my children. 🙌🏻 Mama Maggie is alive 〰️what a wonderful feeling.

We’re gearing up for our FOURTH year of homeschool. ✏️🚂🖌🖼📚📓🔭How do I teach with four kids? We practice variety: we learn together, then we learn independently. My children “pair up” and teach each other something, or my olders read aloud to my youngers pairs. We play outside. They play outside ;) We have field trips, play dates, and dance parties. I’m gearing up for another year and have a post on some of the ways we’ve simplified our home in anticipation for all the learning we’ll do. #maggiewhitleydotcom #homeschool #charlottemasoneducation #surprisedbymotherhood

A little reminder to make the art, to share the ar

A little reminder to make the art, to share the art we make, to resist the internal urge to keep hidden the things that bring us joy. // I drew & painted some art for a large set of notecards for my MIL. I’m always doodling in my journals and sermon notes and grocery lists. Reminds me of a prompt from “The Hidden Art of Homemaking” by Edith Schaeffer to make the everyday beautiful by adding hand-drawn art. 💕🍊🍋🌿
