Wandering through life one season at a time

gentle homemaking

By: amyswanderingcomment

We’ve been busy little bees today, trying to catch up on household tasks that fell by the wayside while I was sick. The kids are getting ready for their favorite chore – sock mopping! (Everyone puts on white cotton socks, I dump warm soapy water on the floor, and they start skating. I get a super clean floor & they have a ball.)

I sat down to take a break & found the most refreshing post in my bloglines. Susan of High Desert Home writes so beautifully about gently caring for a home and making it a reflection of God’s love. A gentle, peaceful, ORDERLY home is what I’m working towards and her words are so encouraging!

Go on a Nature Scavenger Hunt. Use this Egg Carton for little ones who can’t read yet.

Make a Duck Tape Bullwhip for your Indiana Jones wanna-be.

Go out on the town and Do Something Free this weekend.

Have some Watermelon Fun with all these zany patterns. Don’t forget to have a seed spitting contest!

Here are some of my favorite patterns:

Run on over to Rocks In My Dryer for tons of Summer Boredom Busters!
