Mothering blog from the author of Offbeat Bride

the natural parenting center : home About Hi, I’m Abbie, and M is for Mama is an unapologetic ode to messy, maddening, miraculous motherhood. It’s also where I share my favorite non-M-related passions–like thrifting, endless furniture and knickknack rearranging, exercising, baking yummy treats, putting together ridiculously cheap outfits, hot-glue crafting, and typing out my deep (and not-so-deep) thoughts…almost always with one of my 5 children on or near me. I love Jesus, good grammar, and ho-cho (which I don’t get to drink nearly as often as I’d like in the muggy, pine tree forests of East Texas). See that expression on my face? So, who am I? I love icing. I also love to travel, which doesn’t seem like it would work with the aforementioned brood of ankle-biters. I’m a former high school/college tutor, turned high school Spanish/ESL/English teacher, turned fitness instructor, turned homeschool mama. On my good days, homeschooling seems like one of the most fulfilling things ever. So, in October 2013, M is for Mama was born.

cribchronicles.com Printable Spelling Dictionary for Kids If you’ve been following my blog, you’ve seen a lot of Letter of the Week crafts, reading lists, fine motor activities, and math connections. I’ve also shared a few resources I’ve created to help my 4 1/2-year-old learn to read. This week I’m beginning a new venture — teaching my children to love writing. I look forward to sitting down to have regular writing time with my Four and Six — and showing you just what that looks like. As a classroom teacher, I made Writing Workshop a regular part of my schedule – whether I taught grades 3-5 (as I did for three years), or grades 1-2 (as I did for five years). I found that the more time and instruction I gave, the greater the likelihood that my students would love to write. I want so much to foster that same love of writing in my own children. One thing all writers love is words. My daughter, just finishing kindergarten, turned six last week. 2) It is a recording space for children to write the spellings of words they want to use in their writing.

Fussy About the Green Dragonfly Hi, Im Janette… The purpose of this blog is to journal THREE things; crafts, creativity and my kids. We live in Hamilton, New Zealand. When I tried to think about how I could best explain myself I couldn’t settle on the description, so (among many other things) I’m a… Mama.

Babygadget Nested If you haven't seen Style Rookie, the blog of thirteen year-old fashion prodigy, Tavi Williams, then you aren't reading one of the best blogs out there. I've been reading the blog for a while but have never had the nerve to email her. Today, however, I got the courage to let her know how I feel. Hey Tavi, I'm sure you get thousands of emails like this but since I don't write thousands of emails like this I felt it was worth sending. I'm 32*, founder of a company (Six Apart -- they make blogging software), mother of a two year-old and, I would think a fairly accomplished person. There's a point for this totally insane bragging, however. All that being accomplished, I still manage to be completely envious of your style and your approach to life. To get an idea of my dorkiness, here's a comic I created in 2001: I'm raising my daughter, Penelope, and I am constantly wondering how do we (my husband Ben and I) raise a daughter like you.
