“I sincerely believe that for the child, and for the parent seeking to guide him, it is not half so important to know as to feel when introducing a young child to the natural world. If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow. The years of early childhood are the time to prepare the soil.”
-Rachel Carson, A Sense of Wonder

PREVIOUS INTENTIONS
If you’re reading on your phone or in a reader, be sure to click over to see what I checked off the list!
stick to “the plan”(I’ve walked every morning, been 95% dairy-free, and in bed and sleep by 10PM every night – still working on the supplements and water)buy the last necessary school supplies: pencils, computer paper, inkorganize the school room(all ready to go!)- start peeking around for fall clothes for the kids
- find sneakers for Sophie
take inventory of the pantry and use up/replace as neededmake a batch of homemade taco seasoning(I used this recipe – too easy)- read an ARC due for Netgalley (almost done – full review coming at the end of the month)
read a few chapters in My Life in France- mend two shirts with small holes (1/2, and I even added a few more to my mending basket)
work on listing all remaining inventory for Poshmark(I worked hard to get my closet ready for fall/winter, so hoping I see sales coming in soon)share my 100 Little Things list for 2019-2020(find it here!)
I have to say- the cooler weather we've had this week spooked me a little, as I haven't given anyone's fall clothes a thought yet!
