The view from my back door is telling me that autumn is well and truly here. What a glorious riot of colour greets me as I work in my kitchen each morning!
If you read my last post you'll know that I've been trying to loosely implement some Waldorf ideas into our unschooling life. One of the ways I do this is to seek activities from the brilliant Hawthorn Press series of Waldorf through the year books. Today I sought inspiration from 'All Year Round' and decided to spend some one to one time with my second son making a Harvest loaf. It is an activity that should really be done at Michaelmas so we were a little late but we still thoroughly enjoyed it. The whole recipe is based around an embellished tale of St Michael from the Bible. It was great fun and provided a much needed meaningful time together.
The bread turned out really well.
It was especially tasty with butter.
Everyone seemed to enjoy it.
Jo was particularly chilled out whilst eating his.
So much so that he fell asleep on a kitchen chair. Too cute
I also tried playing some simple harvest tunes from the book and getting the children to join in but ,alas, it seems that my boys are not for singing. Oh well I'll sing anyway.
You can find out what else we've been doing today at
Enjoy this beautiful season. x
