Welcome to Hawthorn & Hazel! I’m Jen, a mom of two young girls. I’ve been homeschooling my five-year-old for two years with Waldorf education, and we love being outdoors, having a lot of time for free play, and doing activities like singing seasonal songs, baking, drawing, painting with watercolors, modeling with beeswax, making handcrafts, and reading excellent books. I’ve recently come to admire the Charlotte Mason approach to education, so I’ve been incorporating music study, picture study, folk songs, hymns, poetry, and modern languages into our days. Next week will be our last week of homeschooling this spring, but we’ll continue some of our activities over the summer.
I believe almost anyone can homeschool their children, and I hope this blog will encourage you to see that it doesn’t have to be complicated.
