Best reads of the year

January 3, 2021January 3, 2021 ~ ashalivingstone ~ Leave a comment

Reading at home and abroad. (Writing-on-Stone PP) This year I read 41 books, with 19 of those being audio books, although this number doesn't include read alouds to the kids. Seriously, my reading life would be so much less exciting without audiobooks! Here are my favorites of the year: Best fiction reads: "The Dutch House" … Continue reading Best reads of the year

Our Unlived Lives

December 22, 2020 ~ ashalivingstone ~ Leave a comment

I recently read this article from the New York Times and haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Its about our unlived lives, the alternative lives we could be living if we had made different choices or had different opportunities. Do you ever imagine what your life would have been if somewhere along the … Continue reading Our Unlived Lives

What my gut is telling me right now

February 21, 2019August 13, 2019 ~ ashalivingstone ~ Leave a comment

In my last post, I talked about the intentions I've set for my year. One of them was to listen to my intuition and follow my gut. There are a few aspects of personal development that I've felt pulled to over the last few months. I can't get these things out of my mind, I … Continue reading What my gut is telling me right now

Current Homeschool Routine and Resouces

February 9, 2019August 13, 2019 ~ ashalivingstone ~ Leave a comment

In my last post I wrote about my approach to homeschool. I thought it might be nice to show you what that actually looks like in our home and what resources I'm using. We start our days with morning time, where I read some books aloud while the kids eat their breakfast. I don't remember … Continue reading Current Homeschool Routine and Resouces

On finding my own home education philosophy

November 8, 2018November 8, 2018 ~ ashalivingstone ~ Leave a comment

Its been quite the process to figure out exactly how I want to approach home education. It hasn't been easy, and I'm not even sure where I've landed now is very permanent. But it feels right. After lots of prayerful thought and study, I set out to implement a Charlotte Mason* inspired approach to education … Continue reading On finding my own home education philosophy

A little update

November 8, 2018 ~ ashalivingstone ~ Leave a comment

I've been pretty absent from my blog for a while. To be honest, I haven't had much to write about. Well, that's not necessarily true. Let me rephrase: a lot has been going on in our life, but I haven't been sure of how to write about it or I wanted to write about it. … Continue reading A little update

January Reads

February 2, 2018 ~ ashalivingstone ~ Leave a comment

I read two books and listened to three audio books inĀ  January. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid (audio) This was an engrossing and well told story, it would make an excellent vacation read. Evelyn Hugo is a very private famous actress who asks a struggling writer hardly anyone has heard … Continue reading January Reads

My Best Reads of 2017

January 8, 2018January 4, 2018 ~ ashalivingstone ~ Leave a comment

I'm happy to say that I read/listened to 46 book in 2017. It was hard to bring the final cut of favorites down to 5 (hence the honorable mentions at the end), and so I set as my reference point how likely I would be to re-read these books and how enthusiastically (not how widely) … Continue reading My Best Reads of 2017

November and December Reads

January 4, 2018January 4, 2018 ~ ashalivingstone ~ Leave a comment

Here are the book I finished in November and December. Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner I read this one as part of the Modern Mrs Darcy book club and really loved it. It did take me a while to get into (until we got Charity and Sid's back story), but it really drew me … Continue reading November and December Reads
