“I’m sorry, the Auldridge Ohana can’t take your call right now. Leave a message at the tone if you want, but also know we won’t be available for the next month. Maybe more. We like adventures and we’ve gone to find some.” *beep*

Day 6 of our “official” new homeschool year and we pressed pause on everything to start Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park on the front porch while holding cats, petting dogs, and soaking up the last of the summer sunshine. ☀️🍁🥹☕️

This is the life. 🩵 Truly, truly. There is nothing else I’d rather be doing than reading Jane Austen with my kids in the sunshine when the moment strikes them.

10/10 recommend this Usbourne introduction to Jane Austen. It’s captivating and beautiful!

Is anyone else reading this book right now? 🫁 Or have you read it? 🤔

There’s a lot to unpack in this book! 👀 Let’s talk about it! Spoiler alerts and stories about how you have applied it to your life are welcome in the comments👇🏼

This was gifted to me by @birthuprising 🥰 It’s book club worthy for sure!

This is absolutely, without a doubt, my favorite thrift store find ever. 😍 Our entire family is obsessed with books. Our house is designed around our books. And one thing we need more of (other than bookshelves 😂) are book ends!

Wait until you see the thrift treasures my homemaker friends are posting about today, too. 🤩 (See tags below)

What is the best thing you ever thrifted?

What a summer of simple joys and beautiful days with my children! 🥰

Lord, open my eyes so that I can take in the joy that is meant for me in this beautiful life. Help me and my family to continue to keep our eyes open as we enter into the new homeschool year. Draw us closer to each other and closer to you. Amen.

Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law. Psalm 119:18

Blessings on your new homeschool year! 🙏🏼😘

A rainy summer day at home Sleeping in, not sure

A rainy summer day at home

Sleeping in, not sure if by accident or on purpose
Coffee with my best friend
Our toddler requested banana bread
So I made some
The rain became more steady
So we made tea
And opened our poetry book
One poem was so beautiful, I cried
Wide eyes asking questions
Then laughing at the next poem
I love these days, my children, and poetry
A little school
And a lot of home
I treasure our time together
I stare wide eyed back at them
The seasons are shifting
And so are we.

There’s only two things that money can’t buy and that’s true love and homegrown tomatoes! 🍅

Those three humble cherry tomatoes are from my garden and the heirloom tomatoes are from the store 😂 (But my tiny tomatoes definitely tasted better than store-bought ones! Motivation to grow more next year!) I didn’t have enough for my caprese sourdough bread so I combined the two 🙂

👩🏻‍🍳LB Style Recipe:

Sourdough pizza crust can just be a regular sourdough bread recipe but add garlic, oregano, basil, and olive oil. 1 loaf is 2 crusts.

Put your halved dough in a pan and cook it hot (450-500) for about 8 minutes to cook the crust partway.

Take it out, add your toppings, & put it back in the oven until it’s done enough for you and your family. 😂

For this dish, I loosely followed @halfbakedharvest recipe for caprese garlic bread with crispy prosciutto. I subbed salami for prosciutto because that’s what I had on hand and I cooked everything instead of keeping it cold on top.

That’s my favorite way to cook…read other recipes for reference, see what I have on hand, and make adjustments. The only thing I actually follow a written recipe for is baking 😉

Now’s a great time to dive into your garden and grab basil and tomatoes! For more great tomato recipes (and recipes with details 😂) check out my friends along with our hashtag #homemakerscircle

Today was a ✨perfect✨ homeschool day

Not because I was the perfect teacher or they sat perfectly still in their seats and got 100% in their workbooks…

It was perfect because we were together and learning and enjoying one another. Comfortable and content at home. 🥰

It was perfect because I got to be the one they ran to when they found a giant peacock moth caterpillar, the little one shouting, “Mom! Come here! It’s a calerpitter emergency! Tell us what it is!” 🥹

It was perfectly natural and relaxed, despite poopy diapers, ill-timed giggles, misplaced supplies, squirming in seats, daydreaming, chatting about everything, and any other occurrence I could have called “annoying” or an “interruption.” It was perfect all the same. 🥹
