Once There Was a Girl

Once upon a time there was a girl. She wasn’t a particularly happy child, but she loved to be creative and spent every spare moment adding to the towering stacks of drawing books and canvases and endlessly scribbled her poems and short stories in her school notebooks.

Watercolor Painting Fun…

We took watercolor paper and wet it under the tap. Then dropped splotches of watercolor paint (the kind in tubes) that had been thinned and diluted in water onto the paper, using “droppers” made with straws. The kids then used the straws to blow the paint across the paper, creating a swirly sort of effect.

We dried the paper in the sun, and then the kids painted/colored right on top of the designs they had made.

KitchenWitch

I'm a kitchen witchy aspiring writer and artist. I've worn various granola-mom badges proudly: babywearing, clothdiapering, co-sleeping, and breastfeeding to name a few. I'm married to James, often referred to as "the huz" here, who was born in Tulsa, Ok and grew up in England. We have four children, Hannah, Patrick, Willow, and Cooper.

We are homeschoolers. We think its the best way to raise our children, and this way we get to spend a lot of time together.

I dream of the day when I can see my name splashed across the front of a proper book.
