FIMBY Finds for early January

finding a view on a winter's hike

Ok, here's some finds I want to share with you.

Mama Speak: Hum... I'm drawing a blank on this one so let's just skip ahead shall we.

Homeschool: Who knew? Apparently Soule Mama did and thanks to her post today I just found out about Bare Books. Inexpensive, blank books (like with a real binding) that your kids can write their own stories in! We've been getting by fine with paper and staples but this is so much more... professional. I'm placing an order and I'm certain these will inspire hours of writing, drawing & coloring.

Here's another book making idea, a Mini Nature Journal, from Heywood's Meadow.

Urban Homestead: I certainly don't need any new hobbies but this looks like a quilt I could actually make, considering I am pattern-phobic.

Neighborhood: I'm all for making the world a better place, one chocolate bar at a time. Fair trade, farmer cooperative chocolate is a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Check out simple natural nourishing's chocolate bar giveaway!

Gallery: My own photos this time, of my brother and my niece. Oh my goodness, it was fun to take these photos.
