Gratitude for this:

The table cleared, the candles burning low, night coming on.

And this:

These strong men with gentle souls.

Some places to look and love:

From Kyce – mourning the oil spill, and How to be an Eco-Housewife Tips - really great.

From Heather at Shivaya Naturals – at last, a “ravelry” for sewing: My Sewing Circle, and she has an amazing giveaway right now.

Have you seen Simple Homeschool put together by the wonderful Jamie?

Donna Ashton is running a great series of workshops (free audio talks by different folks, basically) at The Mindful Connection.

The always wise Carrie has a great post called How Can I Love Staying at Home With My Children?
