Hi! I'm Julia. I am a homeschooling Mom to my three fun little people. Our homeschool has elements of Montessori and Charlotte Mason, with a little Waldorf thrown in. We recently moved to Vermont where we are starting a large kitchen garden and home orchard and trying to live more seasonally and sustainably. Come join us on our journey!
Here are some other places you can find me!

As the publishers of CM-inspired curriculum for almost 30 years, we're always excited to see how others use the CM methods in their own homeschools. Thanks for sharing with us!
I am glad you enjoyed it!
I love when baby had the book open and was rolling cereal down the little ramp she created heehee so cute.
I didn't even notice that at first! Thanks for pointing it out! :)
Inspiring video. We have been doing nature journalling for 6 years, since my daughter was 3. It's so neat to look back through them, and even better when pages are dated and labeled. It is so easy to put other studies and activities before nature journalling and yet it is so beneficial and worthwhile. Thanks for sharing.
It really is so rewarding. We have been doing nature journaling since my oldest was little too - though it looked different then! I really enjoy making my own journal as well, and being able to look back on it. Thanks for sharing!
I just found your channel! What a sweet family! Breath of fresh air to see nature journaling!
Thank you so much!
This was so peaceful to watch and listen to! I have been homeschooling my boys for several years now but am just now starting Nature journaling with them! This was so helpful! 💜 I hope you will make more of these!
I'm so glad! I enjoyed making this video as well. I hope you and your boys have fun nature journaling!
Really cool video! I lived watching the baby! She's so patient!
Thank you! She was very patient! The puffs and books don't entertain her for quite as long now. 😉
This is SO much better than public school! I wish I could have been home-schooled ♥
I often think that myself. My kids have always been homeschooled and sometimes don't know how good they have it! 😉

New subscriber here and homeschooling mom to four girls! We are just starting nature journaling and you video was so helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for subscribing! I am so glad you liked the video!
I love the idea of monthly colors!
It's one of my favorite ways to nature journal. :)
Beautiful video, thank you! I appreciate seeing your entire lesson. We are excited to get started! And I hadn't heard of Herb Faries, but I'm definitely looking into it! Thank you. :)
I hope you have a wonderful experience!
Very inspiring. Your family is beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much!
I've started collecting The Handbook of Nature - in Colour. It's recently been reprinted in colour and separated into about 8 different books so that it's more transportable into nature.
I also got the lovely picture book biography on Anna Comstock "Out of School and into Nature - the Anna Comstock story".
The Handbook of Nature in color sounds great! We also have "Out of School and into Nature" - it is a beautiful book!
This was so much fun!! Hopefully you can video it monthly for us!? Thank you for sharing!
I am so glad you enjoyed it! I can't promise I will be able to film it every month, but I certainly can share our nature journaling more often!! 😁
So happy I found your channel
Thank you! I am glad you are here.
Beautiful video. So peaceful. I thought I was nature journaling because I was so at peace too. I’m wondering if you can link what is on the table that the children use to do their art and protect the table from their mishaps. The cardboard or wooden boards?
Thank you! They are wooden painting boards and I love them! I got them from nova naturals - www.novanatural.com/painting-board - it looks like they are out of stock there now, but hopefully they will return and you might be able to find them at another waldorf retailer.
Wonderful! This is so inspiring! Do you mind sharing the name of the watercolor palette your daughter is using?
Thank you! The watercolors she uses are the Primo 24 Color Mixing Palette. amzn.to/3gGt8Za (affiliate link). I really like it for the kids. My son has been using their smaller one and I am about ready to get him the 24 color version.
love this! what notebook are you all using ? i love the size
It's the Canson XL mixed media pad. I think it is 7 x 10. (Sorry for the long delay in response!)
I saw that you shared your daughter's watercolor palette. Would you be willing to share which palette you use as well? I'm new to nature journaling, and I'm trying to figure out some good quality materials to buy! I don't even know where to start!
Hi. Sorry for the delay in response. I use an old Winsor & Newton pan set. It was gifted to me in high school, so unfortunately I don't know exactly what it is or where they got it, but I think it's a common brand that they carry at most art stores. I am actually due for a new one as some of my colors are getting low!
@@juliaathome Thank you so much for getting back to me!
Where did you get your paints?
My paints are Winsor & Newton - this set was a gift many years ago so I am not sure exactly what it is called. But there are many Winsor & Newton sets that I have seen at amazon, Blick's, and Michaels. I am sure any store that has art supplies will sell them. The kids had Primo watercolor sets that I liked, but I haven't been able to find them recently. I just get them simple watercolor sets from amazon or a craft store. Each one lasts us around 2 years. I hope that helps!
