Its an old unique city with lots of history and soul. On our most recent walk we noticed mammoth trees that overshadowed houses like the ones we see in Portland Oregon. We saw lots of homes that did not treat their lawns with pesticide and an old house with a huge peace sign. One thing i like about the cith is how people line the sidewalks with fragrant flowers...every step is a walk through heaven..the sights and smells are helped along with music my mom always brings classical music with us. Last week we listened to Beethovens ninth while strolling around the passageways of the city. No wonder why it was voted one of the top places to live! <br>
See you soon! <br>
Love<br>

My mom wrote a book about this and so we follow this path of health..it doesnt always taste good but we were raised like this and use fasting as a way to heal our bodies ..here is a funny picture of me drinking my final liver cleansing drink...yay I get to eat regular food tomorrow. I felt great all weekend..lots of energy..<br>
Happy spring!<br>

It is Oscar Wilde's poems and Fairy Tales. We are reading a fairy tale right now and we both really like it. The poems are very nice too as I have been still working on William Blake. Since today is Khalil Ghibrains birthday my mom is having us work on his poetry this weekend and make paintings to go along with it. I am already looking through my mom's hardcover that has some of Ghibrains sketches- I am very excited. <br />
<br />
My brother noticed that Oscar Wilde wrote this book and dedicated it to someone in the prison he was in. This prompted a whole new discussion on Oscar Wilde. My mom has his book "The Portrait of Dorian Grey" but she does not want us to read it until next year.<br />
<br />
Yesterday my brother and I checked out "Oliver Twist" at the library, they had two copies! We will start on these next week!<br />
Hope you are enjoying your January as much as us- Michigan is all blue skies, warm and sunny today! Very unusual for this time of year! We are going outside to walk our dogs and play tag outside in a few minutes!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

Happy New Years!<br />
My family and I have been working on this Christmas Gnome for a week! We didn't get it done in time for Christmas because the wool took so long to dry. Today on New Years Day we all finished it, and he is so cute! Here are the steps to make the wool<br />
1. One pound of plain bulk wool<br />
2. 1/4 lb each red or black (any colors for body)<br />
3. Soap <br />
4. Hot water<br />
5. A rock<br />
6. a washboard<br />
7. Needle and thread<br />
8. Angel roving for beard and brows<br />
<br />
This makes a perfect coach buddy, for the holidays or whenever!<br />
<br />
Follow our instructions on how to make a wet wool picture on youtube,<br />
we have a complete video that shows you how to wet felt the bottom layers, video is below.<br />
We also chose to felt the inside wool too, to make in more compact and to<br />
keep the rock we felted inside from slipping around,<br />
Let dry<br />
Sew the colored wool batting around the core, up the back,<br />
Felt in the angel roving beard and brows,<br />
Use a twisted piece of black roving for the eyes<br />
and a Angel puff of white felted into the top,<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy your beautiful wool waldorf gift, check out our video below</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is the outline my mom made my older brother and I<br />
<br />
<br />
This week we are finishing our first big novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird." My older brother and I will write a character summary on each of the characters and how they changed through out the story. Then we will start on "Oliver Twist" by Dickens. After that, "Great Expectations" my mom says Dicken's created the most important literary works for teens. We will probably read the "Christmas Carol" some time in the fall 2012. My brother and I had a hard time writing our chapter essays. We had to read four chapters a week, look up 40 vocabulary words from the chapter and then write an essay about what we read. Week after week my brother and I had a very difficult time forming our intro paragraphs. My mom had to sit with us for hours helping each one of us, then she wrote up this outline paper for us. It really helped us! We basically need to make four broad statement sentences in the intro and then in the paragraphs we look at the symbols and match them up to the intro, this helps us stay on track. This is my first week using the outline by myself, our lesson time went much easier, all my mom had to do with us is read it outloud and correct our grammar errors. I hope this outline will help give you a good idea about how to write an essay with your kids!</td></tr>

Merry Christmas to all of our friends!<br />
I am just getting ready for bed and wanted to share our magical Christmas with you!<br />
My brothers and I got a new Steinbaukasten set from Germany, these are blocks we have been collecting from childhood made out of quartz, stone, etc, they feel like real bricks. We were so excited we worked on this bridge most of the day and when we were finished we placed our wood Ostheimer collectors pieces on there- we put a fairy, fish, princess and prince. My mom dyed some silk for us different shades of blue for the water. This was our best gift! My mom also got me these Tyrolean pajamas from Austria, they are warm cotton flannel and remind me of the Sound of Music, my favorite movie. My mom said she had the same pair of pajamas when she was little and showed me a picture. Tonight my Dad made us a special dinner while my mom read us stories by the fire and tree. Last night our family came over for a party. My parents let us open our gifts last night-it made sleeping alot easier!! : )<br />
Have a great New Year too, <br />
Much Love,<br />

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you friends!<br />
We have been very busy, finishing up our homeschooling for our first semester as my mom calls it,<br />
I am doing a character study on all of the characters in my book "To Kill a Mockingbird"<br />
<br />
My brother and I have been doing alot of musical Chrismas performances, I love being apart of a choir at Christmas, my mom and dad sing Christmas carols with us starting the day after halloween- and we learn them on piano. I think my favorites are "In the Bleak Midwinter" and "Carol of the Bells"<br />
<br />
My brother got to play solo xylophone on Carol of the Bells, while I sang! It was so cool and sounded so beautiful- my mom started crying~! She always cries, ~! I got to wear her dress that was hers when she was my age! She saved it for me after all these years, I just tried on her dress that she wore for her confirmation when she was 14, I think I have one more year left to go before I can wear it.<br />
<br />
Last weekend I went to my first craft show to sell my angels, I took the money I made and put it in a saving acount, some I will have to use to put towards more angel orders. We are having fun right now,<br />
I hope you are too!<br />
<br />
Ho Ho Ho~!<br />

</tbody></table>Today is the Virgin Guadalupe day, my mother painted a seven foot Guadalupe in our yoga studio a couple years ago. We lit candles we bought from Meijers! The traditional Mexican ones. My moms friend took us to the South of Michigan to a Romanian Monastery. It was beautiful and in the woods. We didn't understand Romanian but the ceremony was magical and we bought blessed candles. Romanian is based on Latin, we recognized some words from French and Spanish, but we thought it sounded a bit like Italian because many words had the chee sound at the end. We made some snow flake crafts out of silver, gold and blue glass beads afterward. Pheww, its been a busy holiday season. <br />
<br />
My older brother and I are working out of a book about composers and a book out health. We finished all of our science, geology, social studies, etc for the year! We worked on three books a day. My mother has us write reports and draw pictures of each chapter we read. I woke up very early in the morning to do my reports so that I could play the rest of the day! My friend took me to a basketball game up at a local school. She is a cheerleader and my brothers swing dance partner. Yes, I forgot, my brother and I are taking swing but he is really into it and wants to go to competitions! LOL,<br />
The rest of the year should be a bit easier, we are finishing the book "To Kill a Mockingbird." We have to read four chapters a week and then write a two page essay. My mom checks it at the end of the week. I really like this book. After this we are starting on Dickens. My mom says we will be reading Great Expectations and Oliver Twist the rest of the year. I asked for a beautiful cloth covered Great Expectations book for Christmas- I think I got it-because I am looking at a rectangle present under the tree now~!<br />
Happy Holidays,<br />

So, I am enjoying the Christmas season with my family! We are making lots of crafts and working on lots of Christmas music. We go and sing at retirement homes every year for Christmas. This year I have been working on Oh Holy Night, but the key is too high for me and I sing in a lower F, so my mom is transposing it for me. Look for our new Christmas video soon! We have been listening to the song Elysium from the Gladiator soundtrack, my mom says she wanted to name me Elysee after the Elysium Fields or the Champs Elysee. We make art projects to it, but I work on my William Blake reproductions when I hear it, it inspires me. My brothers and I are loving our new puppy! We have so much fun with our two dogs. When we get all of our homeschooling done we take him out to play. We had so much fun watching him hope through the snow, I cant wait for it to snow again.<br />
Happy St. Nicks Day!<br />

</tbody></table> Hello, my name is Katia,<br />
I am 13 years old. I have taken over this Waldorf homeschooling blog from my mom Dr. Aurore. I hope you like it! Today I want to share with you some of the block crayon pictures I made in September and October. My mom has us work on calligraphy with calligraphy pens and also has us draw a picture. We get to choose our poems. I found a poetry book on William Blake in my mom's bookcase. I really like it because he uses beautiful poems with paintings. So, I have been using the pieces of the poems I like and making pictures to go along with it.<br />
Talk to you soon,<br />
Love,<br />
Katia<br />

</tbody></table>So, my daughter and I have been working on paintings for my new spa. We had an interesting experience.<br />
I told her to take two colors and bring them together to spiral in the middle...except I described it as Red and Blue coming to get to make love in the center. The idea was to get purple-and an etheric pattern of emotion on canvas. Well, it was easy for her- with all of her freedom schooling and Waldorf influence- she tapped into the source and within minutes she completed a flowing product of color and feeling- a true masterpiece in my opinion. She added just a bit of green at the end and yellow- because my office is green.<br />
But then there was me, as much as I taught my children concepts of Waldorf art- I have yet to grasp the pure magic of Waldorf painting. Mine, the middle was just a perfect spiral, with perfect colors- and it was vibrant-but it lacked the etheric and free concepts. Then the last painting, I just had someone paint a spiral in rainbow and wanted to see the result- this is also a mechancical representation- color on top of color, a rigid spiral- almost compass like. Well, I hope I have inspired you and have not discouraged you to get those feelings out on paper and make contact with the world through art...its never too late, and I am going to keep trying!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, this was the best Easter yet. With my husband and I's anniversary the day before, it has been a busy weekend. The morning started out with my hubby and I drinking chai and listening to a mix CD he made me with all of our junior high and high school songs on it. We were listening to The Return to Innocence over and over by Enigma-and watching the kids go through their Easter goodies. Then he made us nalishnikis (Polish crepes). A trip downtown Detroit to my childhood church, was very wonderful. We finished our day with a bbq- my husband got us organic steaks from Whole Foods. It was pure magic. I hope you had a beautiful magical Easter too! Hope you enjoy our Easter video...to give you a taste of life here in the States.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><em>To quote Enigma "That's not the beginning of the end, thats the return to yourself, a return to innocence.".......</em></strong></div>Ayurvedic Doctor of Natural Health: Aurore Henzehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01746234512237207338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607709904857369434.post-90424162300259665472011-04-21T00:14:00.000-04:002011-04-21T00:14:54.631-04:00How to Dye Polish Easter Eggs- Pysanki<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>Hope you are all having a wonderful Easter season. It has been unseasonably cold here in Michigan. My hubby keeps the fires warm and toasty until May! Passing our time making easter creations. Every year we make pysanki, my husband is Polish and this is something I do as a tribute to his ancestry. It has taken us four years of painstaking broken eggs, ruined eggs, -you name it. We finally turned out some decent eggs this year and how rewarding it was! The children were completely illuminated by the project. We listened to some big band CDs- and Judy Garlands easter parade. It takes two days. The first day we blow out the eggs, wash them and let them dry. The second we draw, dip, wax, dip, wax, dip, melt- et=voila. This Friday is Good Friday so we will spend the afternoon being silent and going to church. On Easter Sunday we will do our yearly tradition of going to the German Catholic church I attended as a child in downtown Detroit. This is always a magical experience and we hear the mass in Latin. The church looks like a European cathedral and the sound of bells and the smell of easter lilies and frankincense fills the air. This is an extra special Easter as it lands on ur 16 year wedding anniversary! We go every year to our FAVORITE restaurant in Ann Arbor, called Cafe Zola, a zesty modern gallery of organic filet mignon and hand pummeled drinks...with an Argentinian chimichurri to die for! Hope I inspire you to do something wonderful for your Easter this year! <br />

Thought you would enjoy the new Harpsichord lesson from the University of Michigan. We had some very impressive video of Prof. Parmentier playing some very moving and difficult pieces-but those were some how lost. But, we still have these endearing pieces of musical magic in the making- ENJOY- un morceau de Joie de Vie : )<br />

With spring coming, my children have been busy drawing and writing poems-dancing....we are all in a joyous spirit. We have been studying Botany by Charles Kovacs and New Eyes for Plants for over a year. The subject of trees came up today and the kids were saying how difficult it was- I told them to use their minds eye and the less detail the better. In the typical waldorf tradition I took my calligraphy pens and three simple beeswax block crayon colors- red, blue and yellow- et voila-<br />
The hope of spring is revealed in der Baum- Wunderbar! Hope this inspires you to get outdoors-and if you cannot in this radioactive fallout at this time. Use your minds eye to make that tree of life, L'arbre de la vie- that inspires you to live and keep living. We are also starting on the resurrection stories of Christ right now, we do this every year. We also set up a cave with Jesus and then I remove the Jesus on Easter. Will post pics soon! <br />
Happy Spring!Ayurvedic Doctor of Natural Health: Aurore Henzehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01746234512237207338noreply@blogger.com0
