Guess what happens when strawberries are fresh….and children are bored….and days are long?
First, we read chapter 2 of The Hobbit aloud. Those little guys eat a lot. So then we get hungry and make a little homeade strawberry sugary magic. And then make toast and bagels and peanut butter sandwiches to spread it on.
What’s better than making homeade strawberry sugary magic? Eating it! And giving it away. And eating some more.
And the only thing better than making homeade strawberry jam and eating it….is wearing this adorable Anthropologie apron, that my friend Ruthie gave to me, while doing it. And my favorite necklace of all time that I bought from Lisa Leonard Designs. I know, it’s like a dog-tag….kid-tag….or something like that. I absolutely love it and wear it everyday. Oh, and that birdy necklace? Lisa Leonard too. You really need to visit her website.
Welcome to Logos Summer School! And thank you Ruthie for the perfect apron. (It just so happens to to match my kitchen and my blog!) And thank you Tolkein for the perfect summer read-aloud.
Yet again, your blog and your life are a breath of fresh air and a chance to catch my breath. Thank you.
Wish you could bring me some of that strawberry magic…and a cup of coffee and a nice new dress for the funeral tomorrow…..
This is my first time to comment. I would love to hear more about what your plans are for schooling over the summer. I have a 4 and 6 yo and think I will try to loosely continue our lessons this summer. What are your plans?
I love your necklace..it is so pretty!
What a perfect day with a strawberry.

Looks like fun.
I just read your post on Why You Homeschool & just have to say thank you. You were able to put into a wonderful post exactly what my husband & I discuss all the time. We just started homeschooling our two children this past Jan. – I just couldn't take PS anymore.
Again – thanks for all of the homeschool posts – your fresh outlook on life & schooling is great.
I'm having a linky party on Friday on summer activities for kids (and their frugal parents)
Please come and share some of your wisdom!

ohh… yum, yum edie!
looks like so much fun… and i love the apron, too… hey, when is your birthday?
You are classic, Edie! What a great way to spend those sweet summer days! I also want to hear more about your summer schooling plans. I want to enjoy our time together but routines are always better for a lazy momma like me. If I had my way I wouldn't do anything but lay by the pool and read, read, read….
You are welcome Edie… enjoy the magic of the anthro apron… there isn't anything in the world quite like it.
I'm really enjoying your blog!
Boy oh boy…I'm so excited to go strawberry picking! (they'll be ready in another two weeks). I love making strawberry freezer jam. This year I'll have two little girls that can help me!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your apron! Where is it from? I'm in need of an apron & I want a cute/pretty one! 🙂
I'd love to know your plans for summer schoolin'…would you mind letting us know what all you plan to do?

Three cheers for Hobbit! Hey, I checked out your link and read your curriculum reviews.Yeah for SOTW – we love it.
Just wanted to make a plug for the Grammar program I have loved (after trying Shurley and ABeka)Rod and Staff English. It is traditional and easy to follow for me and the kids.
Happy long summer days!
Great plans for the summer.
I gave your blog "One Lovely Blog Award" over at my blog today.
Hi, I am also a first time commenter. Would you share where you got that beautiful stamped necklace? I would love one with my son's name. (He passed away last year.) Thanks and I love your home and your blog!
I'm just sitting here wondering if I'm too old to attend summer school at your house, lol.
That jam looks yummy!
Do you have (or share) a recipe for your jam? I'd love to make some!
