My name is Angie. I am the wife, mother, educator, and friend behind Fresh Wanderings. I love slow, simple days spent at home where I can be found creating, gardening, baking, educating our children, and spending time in God's Word. Welcome to the place where all of these things culminate into one.

We’ve got this summer thing down...the only thing we’re missing is our favorite shaved ice. Unfortunately they didn’t open this summer. 🍧

“Do the children know the feel of dew-fresh grass on their bare feet, and lush freshness of shade of a leafy tree on a hot afternoon? Do they know the fun of autumn leaves, and the fairy-tale beauty of an icy morning? Wherever the child lives in the world, we should consider nature a part of his life. “ - Susan Schaeffer Macaulay

Tonight we celebrated my dads retirement. He was with the same company and worked in the same building for 40 years. Honestly, it is hard for me to even fathom that, but one thing I can fathom is what a testament it is to his character. He is steady and faithful.
⠀⠀
I’m sure there were days he didn’t want to show up. In forty years there had to be coworkers that were hard to get along with or seasons that he wanted a change of scenery. His time there was marked with highs and lows, yet he continued on: steady and strong.
⠀⠀
I don’t know how to teach those things to my children except to say: “Learn from those who have gone before you.” What a privilege it is for myself and them to have someone who set such a great example.

He finished math for the year!! Our chalkboard is covered in geometric formulas that will be staying there the duration of summer for the sake of those who don’t fully understand geometry...aka me. It was tough and definitely wasn’t pretty, but we made it! Honestly, I think I’m going to buy myself a medal or something. 🏆

If you’re studying art with us this month here is a small excerpt of history about our piece:
⠀⠀
As America planned to enter World War I, there were a number of patriotic events across the country to mark the country’s preparedness. In May of 1916, New York held a large parade to celebrate our nation’s strength and the festivities climax was on the Fourth of July during what has become known as The Greatest Display of the American Flag Ever Seen in New York.
⠀⠀
Preparedness Day is sadly most remembered for the bombing of a San Francisco parade by labor union members seeking to promote an isolationist strategy for the war. 10 were killed and 40 were injured during the largest parade ever held in that city – it lasted for 3 1/2 hours and had 51,329 participants.
⠀⠀
Conflict is nothing new for our country. We’ve faced it over and over again. I love this recommendation for change from former Vice President Hubert Humphrey: “What we need are critical lovers of America — patriots who express their faith in their country by working to improve it.”

Just waiting for the lightning bugs. ✨

MORNING TIME: The July morning time bundle is avai

We dusted off the kayaks (after many years of sitting unused) and took our children out to try them. My biggest regret? Not doing this sooner. The saying is true: the days are long, but the years are short. Without even realizing it our kayaks sat unused for nearly 6 years.
⠀⠀
Truly, it takes great intentionality to not let life just pass by. I still have so much to learn.
