My 2 oldest children are ina youth symphony Orchestra. It starts back up today. They both play the violin and love it, but hate to practice! Now life can get busy again after the holiday slow down, though not too busy I hope. I think I've talked my 2 daughters, Hannah, 7 and Emma 5  out of soccer this spring in exchange for gymnastics, much less time consuming. I'll never talk Cole 11, my son out of soccer. We started homeschooling back up today too. I'm trying to be a calm, gentle mother. I love that book Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit by Terri Maxwell and read it often.

We're in Austin, so I'm think of my spring garden today too. Right now we have spinach, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower growing. When can I start potatoes? I'd like to try growing them in a large tub. I'd like to start my plants from seeds inside, but I have no place near a window where my 2 yo can't get to them.

I read a little when I put my 2 yo down for a nap or bed at night. I need some book suggestions as I'm almost finished with The Christmas Blessing.
