Sometimes life hands you something so wonderful and unexpected that you just have to share it. That's how I feel about Eileen. I first met Eileen, via blogland, when we both had summited articles for Rhythm of the Home. As I read through the e-magazine I was thrilled with all of the great writing, projects, and reflections to a conscious/creative life.

Eileen is a bright light in this world. Not only does she have her own daycare/preschool but she has created a program for childcare providers,home schoolers,co-ops,parents,daycare centers,schools and teachers called, "Little Acorn Learning".

Embracing the rhythm of each day Little Acorn Learning, gently guides the nurturing adult and child through a holistic and whole life program.

In her monthly guides, Eileen has every day planned out to reach the goal of reconnecting children to nature while supporting the caregiver. Inside each issue are stories for children,celebrations of seasons and festivals, crafting, handwork, children's activities, seasonal menus, cooking, baking and recipes. Also included in each e-book are book recommendations, morning talk suggestions, and teacher classroom work.

Absolutly, that was a good idea and I still think it is a good possibility for the company. But I think we have to focus on that project. Di_3017

These 3 or 5 day programs are so imaginative,genuine, and creative. My first thought was WOW what a great way to create a community and continue the connection of sharing this planet. Everyday is an experience at Little Acorn Learning.

So when Eileen contacted me a few weeks after the Rhythm of the Home came out I was utterly thrilled. In her kinds words she asked if I would write an article for her e-newsletter. Happily I agreed and this week the newsletter came out. The newsletter itself is a full experience of February. Complete with songs,quotes, stories,art, the celebration of Candle-mas and a jump into a book called "The Blizzard Robe", you could not enjoy a month more than February. Please be sure to sign-up for her newsletter so that you will not miss out on any month of the year. Each is an exciting adventure into what the month holds.
