a few years ago i was taking to a friend about my work as a mama. i said it was like i was the novice master in a monastery. mine was the job to make sure these children learned the customs of the house, learned to heed the seasons and keep the feasts and fasts, learned to pray and to work. and it still seems like such an apt metaphor for my work as a homeschooler and my wider work as a mother.

here are the ways our family observes Advent, the life-giving ways we have found to welcome the new one in our midst. these practices are particular to our season of life: a family with young. but i hope you can find patterns–ways of opening yourself to the circle of the year as the days darken.

the light is coming. watch!

as you read through the thirty-one posts of keeping Advent, you’ll have time to ponder and gather, time to remember and prepare!
