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.

TRADITIONS- I never really set out to have dried orange slices become part of our holiday traditions.

To be honest I fully expected special events and outings to be the things that drew us together during the holidays. I often thought that a local Christmas parade, an evening spent ice skating, or possibly a church Christmas concert would take their place as our favorite traditions.

Instead I’ve found that the things my kids love and enjoy the most are the things that center around our home and are slowly enjoyed here.

There is so much I didn’t know that I’m beginning to learn now: 🍊that traditions aren’t forced but instead grow naturally over time 🍊that the traditions I loved so much as a child may not be met with as much fervor and appreciation by my family as they were by me... and that’s perfectly fine because new ones are being created.

I love that with a $4.00 bag of oranges we not only make a big bunch of natural ornaments to use this season, but we also get to experience one of our favorite traditions all over again.

I read a quote this week that said, “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a gift and not giving it.”
⠀⠀
So for the sake of not leaving things undone I thought I would express some things I am grateful for over the next few days. Beginning with this scene.
I never dreamed when we began our homeschool journey that our days would often look like this. My vision didn’t even begin to encompass all the adventures we would have or the richness of our time together.

Gods goodness has proven that He truly does give more than all we could ever ask or imagine. I’m so grateful my vision pales in comparison to His.

We started Dog of Discovery this morning and now my daughter wants to get a black Newfoundland and name it Seaman after Meriweather Lewis’ dog. Our school work this week is going to be extremely minimal as I am helping my sister decorate one of her clients home for Christmas. We will have very little time in our own home so consolidation is key!
⠀⠀
Our plan is to read the Lewis and Clark books we borrowed from the library in the evenings, continue math, and do Morning Times. It may not be a complete week of school work, but it should definitely be rich with discovery!
⠀⠀
By the way. Have any of you tried the recipe yet from the November Morning Time bundle? I think the caramel drizzle on this cake is slowly taking its place as my new favorite snack. It could seriously replace my afternoon coffee.

Tis the season for soup and documentaries. 🍁🍂
⠀⠀
I warmed up a soup I made earlier this week from @halfbakedharvest while we watched the first half of the Ken Burns - Lewis and Clark documentary this morning. It was the perfect addition to a lazy autumn morning. 🍁🍂
If you need a rainy day activity the documentary is free on Amazon prime and goes along well with the President study of Thomas Jefferson included in this months Morning Time bundle.

Today was a beautiful fall day! We finished school early this morning, raked up leaves for mulching our flower beds this afternoon, and soaked up all the sunshine we could while it was out. The time change I was dreading so fiercely didn’t turn out to be so bad after all.

Reminiscing over this art piece, the fun poem that accompanied it, and also the clean cabinet I used to snap pictures for last November’s Morning Time plan. 😉⠀⠀
We loved the poem we studied last year, especially with some fun southern twang thrown in for good measure. ⠀⠀
“Gettin’ together to smile an’ rejoice,
An’ eatin’ an’ laughin’ with folks of your choice;
An’ kissin’ the girls an’ declarin’ that they
Are growin’ more beautiful day after day;
Chattin’ an’ braggin’ a bit with the men,
Buildin’ the old family circle again;
Livin’ the wholesome an’ old-fashioned cheer,
Just for awhile at the end of the year.
⠀⠀
It’s amazing how easily the morning time selections become a part of our families narrative. They shape the way we see the world around us and create lasting memories for each season we weather. ⠀⠀
Today we officially begin the new November bundle and I anticipate it will do much of the same for us. One day, perhaps next November, will will look back to this month as a narration of praise and Thanksgiving to our Father who so lovingly and willingly provides for His children. ⠀⠀
The invitation is always open, we would love for you to join us. Be sure to tag @fresh.wanderings so I can follow along with your family!

When we went out to gather leaves the other day I really didn’t expect to find much color. It seemed to me like the trees are just dropping their leaves this year without changing first. Afterward, when we came in and laid out all we had collected I was pleasantly surprised with the vast assortment of not just color, but the types of trees represented in just our small circle drive. ⠀⠀
Again, a great reminder for us to slow down and look around. We could have missed all of this.
