Using “Sing a Song of Seasons” Within the Abiding Wild Curriculum
There’s something deeply grounding about opening a book of poetry and letting the words settle into your day like a soft hush. Sing a Song of Seasons: A Nature Poem for Each Day of the Year is one of those rare books that slows you down, draws your gaze toward beauty, and reminds you and your children to savor the present moment. In the Abiding Wild curriculum, we’ve intentionally woven this poetry collection into our rhythm, not just as a lovely extra, but as a way to cultivate wonder, presence, and a relationship with the natural world.

So You’re Thinking About Homeschooling...
Maybe you’re just beginning to consider homeschooling, or perhaps you’ve already made the decision to step into this sacred calling. Maybe the Lord stirred something in your heart — a conviction to bring your children home and guide their education yourself.
Perhaps it was the bullying, the tears, the constant homework, the rushed mornings… or simply the ache of knowing that you’re not the primary influence in your child’s life right now.
Whatever brought you here, I want to say — I see you, and I applaud your courage. Just entertaining this journey takes faith and intention. Welcome, friend.
