I apologize I haven’t updated the blog for so long. I haven’t even pulled out my camera for quite some time, these are normally things I do everyday!
Our trip to Wisconsin was a well-needed vacation and change of pace for me. I had been obsessed with homeschooling, surfing WTM boards constantly, buying curriculum, planning out years in advance, lol. Well all that really needs to be done right now is a few lessons a day. Instead, Mama needed to focus on herself a little bit. I get obsessed with my “hobbies”, before homeschooling it was photography, before photography it was my business. There was no time to think about what’s good for me.
So I’m taking a few weeks off to get some good habits ingrained. I’ve been faithfully working out everyday (twice a day even) and eating very healthy – mostly raw vegan. I was vegan before Satori was born, then just turned vegetarian. For my health, I’m doing a raw foods diet with lots of yummy green smoothies. At this point, I have no problem eating mostly salads for meals. I just found out our neighbor is a raw foods chef (and also homeschools)! I hope to learn a lot from them.
So I need a bit of time to make a healthy lifestyle a lifelong habit, so most of my focus has been on healthy foods and exercise. I’m still doing an occasional lesson with Satori, but I consider this an extended homeschooling break. To my surprise, she has retained everything, and even more surprising, she’s been reading a bit more fluently than last month when we were studying everyday. She hasn’t forgotten a thing, whew!
I’ll be blogging again soon!
