I’ve added a picture of our family to the sidebar. I’ve been meaning to do it for a long time and finally got around to it today.  So now you have faces to go with the names here. 

Someone left a really nice comment on the post about Caroline’s favorite books and I lost it!  I had to redo the post from scratch because the code was interferring with the rest of the blog. And when I redid it, I lost the comment.  Anyway, I tried to find it to contact the person who wrote it but I can’t!  I apologize and please don’t take it personally!  I didn’t delete it on purpose! 

Welcome to A Quiet Simple Learning Life.  This is my special place to focus on everything learning.  I regularly blog at A Quiet Simple Life.  But there is so much I want to blog about related to learning that I decided to do a separate blog just for this.  That way my regular blog can keep its current character and this one can develop its own.

This isn’t a homeschool blog. This isn’t an education blog. It is a learning blog.  I’ll write about books and music and crafts.  Play and games and puzzles. Reading and writing and arithmetic.  Products I love, books I treasure, discoveries we have, and mistakes I make.  Entries based on my own love of learning, my time as a teacher, and my time as a mom.

If you are looking for a blog that talks about making medieval castles out of collected lint and painting them with paints you made from indiginous plants while wearing accurate period costumes handsewn from cloth you spun yourself from the flax you gathered from your certified organic fields… Well, you’ll be disappointed.  But if you would like to share the finds and insights and fun of a happily married, forty-ish WAHM/small business owner with a two year old little girl, you will probably be right at home.
