Charlotte Teaches Us to Slow Down

I've decided that one of the most delightful things about homeschooling is reading to my children. What a joy it is to start our day snuggled up in bed reading. Sam (barely 5 yrs. old) is sharing the journey through Charlotte's Web with me. He has adopted a quote from the story that is quickly becoming a family motto. As he and Daddy scurried about running several quick errands his comment was, "Never hurry, and never worry. That's what Charlotte says." Now we're all using this nugget of wisdom when we are feeling a bit frazzled. Even Grace (3 yrs.) is using this phrase.

I love the way a good book can etch its mark on the heart of a family!
