creating a peaceful learning environment

When my friend Marissa asked if I would consider writing a post on the topic of creating a peaceful environment for my children, I couldn’t help laughing and then sighing. My thoughts went to beautifully painted walls, counters and floors that never see clutter, and most of all a mama who is never frazzled. My home, conversely, is one where the carpet daily receives new speckled blots of play-dough colors and the walls remain an ever-blatant white. It’s hardly what I would consider a model of beauty and creativity. Yet I do very much desire for our home to be a place of peaceful learning and joyful growth for our children, and there are many choices which we have made with the goal in mind of establishing this kind of environment for our children. My intention in writing this post is to share some of the things which have worked for us in making our home a peaceful place for our young children to grow and learn.
