When I first discovered Waldorf, I didn’t know what I had happened across, except that it was beautiful and I wanted to know more. Something about ‘Waldorf’ spoke to me, of innocence, beauty and wonder.
It happened one day, when I was looking for craft ideas to enjoy with Dino Boy. I was searching for nature crafts and happily stumbled upon The Magic Onions and Beneath the Rowan Tree. There I discovered whimsical, simple and lovely ideas for crafting with my boy.
From there my journey of discovery continued, I devoured the Discovering Waldorf articles on The Magic Onions. I spent hours seeking more of these ‘Waldorf blogs‘ and liking what I found.
What was it I was seeking though?
For by then, it was more than crafts. It was a way of making a home and a way to parent. A way that spoke to me and felt right for my family.
I remember chatting to my wonderful friend Fraggle and telling her about my discovery of Waldorf. And it was lucky that I did share my excitement, because she asked whether I was looking into our local Waldorf school.
I hadn’t even realised we had a local Waldorf school!
But before you could click your fingers three times we were enrolled for playgroup and for school when it was time {ok, I did explore it some more before enrolling, but it was pretty quick!}
Along the way, I also started devouring all the books about Waldorf I could get my hands on *grin*
And I must say, my passion for Waldorf continues to grow.
So over the next little while, I’m going to share the ‘baby steps’ I have taken, and continue to take, to bring Waldorf into my home…
~ I will share the blogs that inspire
~ the books that inform
~ the craft stores that will send you broke (hee hee)
…and the journey I continue to be on… and I hope you will join me.
And if you are a fellow Waldorf inspired parent and you are interested in being part of this series I’d love to hear from you!
Happy days,
Kelly
