Hi friends!
This year has been the year of SLOW for me. I’ve been working towards a slow way of living ever since becoming a mother but I will be honest. It has been very hard to break certain habits because I have always been a “get it done yesterday” kind of person. I still am and always will be, to some degree, I think. But I have been making more conscious choices and have worked hard to remind myself to slow down. In the same breath, our family has also been in the middle of decluttering and owning less. We do not want our stuff to own us. We have made some big strides here and our home finally feels like it can BREATHE.
BUT this is an ongoing process, so I am always reading reading reading to inspire myself and stay on this path. I wanted to share a number of resources with you if you are also wanting to slow down or simplify your life. I’ll also include a section with books on homeschooling that inspire slow schooling and taking a relaxed approach to education for those of you who also educate at home. x
“We were never meant to live life accumulating stuff. We were meant to live simply enjoying the experiences of life, the people of life, and the journey of life – not the things of life.” -Joshua Becker
