Hello Friends who still check in! Hope your November is full of good things. Ours is definitely full. Not all the things are good (our oldest daughter has to have knee surgery on the last Tuesday of the month) but many are. It's a good time for counting blessings!
Learning
- The Art Institute of Chicago has redesigned their website and there are thousands of pieces of art that you can download for free.
- Loved this look at one of my all-time-favorite series (we read through all of them again about a year ago and my girls loved them too): Bringing 'All-of-a-Kind Family Into the World by Cynthia Miller Coffel at The Millions.
- Every homeschool mom probably needs to read this once a school year: There is No Right Way to Homeschool by Purva Brown.
Living
- It's Not the Stuff That Creates Good Memories by Kirsten at The Frugal Girl.
- Sad but likely to become more common, I suppose: 44 Siblings and Counting by Ariana Eunjung Cha at The Washington Post.
- Eleven Ways Christians Can Love One Another by Kevin DeYoung. Practical but sometimes neglected ideas.
Loving
- Girl, Wash Your Face is a huge deal on the bestseller lists right now. I have concerns. Here are two posts from disparate sources that give me pause: What Rachel Hollis Gets Right and Wrong by Alisa Childers at TGC and "Girl, Wash Your Face" is a Massive Bestseller with a Dark Message by Laura Turner at Buzzfeed.
- These Men Ate Poison So You Could Have the FDA from Gizmodo. I don't necessarily agree with everything in this story but it's interesting.
- Fascinating and still hard to wrap my mind around (although visiting the Nashville Parthenon a few years back helps): The Myth of Whiteness in Classical Sculpture by Margaret Talbot.
- Forgot to share this when I first saw it: WWII Code Breaker Buried in Nebraska with UK Military Honors.
