In my first post for this series ~ How to bring Waldorf into your home... I mentioned that I've spent hours seeking out Waldorf blogs.
I've sought out these blogs because I wanted to know more about Waldorf. I wanted to know how families incorporated Waldorf into their days, I wanted to find craft ideas & patterns, and I wanted to find inspiration.
And I wasn't disappointed!
So I thought I would share my reading list with you all... Now this is not a complete list, but rather those blogs that I go back to time and again.

This is where it started for me, and a great starting place it was.
Donni's series Discovering Waldorf is very informative,
and I love finding inspiration at each Friday's Nature Table.
Beneath the Rowan Tree
Another original favourite, here I discovered about the magic of play silks and other Waldorf toys.

And found craft ideas for Dino Boy and I.
The most amazingly beautiful crafts you will ever see.
Anna also writes wonderful children's books {which I am rather partial to myself}
Hinterland Mama
Aleta's lovely space spoke to me straight away.
I love the way she shares glimpses of her family's Waldorf lifestyle, beautiful crafting, and scrumptious baking.

Becca writes from the heart about homeschooling her boys, gardening and crafting.
It was finding Becca's family rhythm that inspired me to create our own pictorial rhythm.
Frontier Dreams
How sweet this family is, and I adore reading what they share about their days...
whether it be Waldorf homeschooling, small town life or beautiful crafts

Bending Birches
Reading Bending Birches is like submerging yourself in a beautiful daydream
Rebecca's approach to her Waldorf inspired childcare is inspiring
Rhythm of the Home
This one is a little different, it is an inspiring quarterly magazine full to bursting,
with crafts, stories, recipes and other ideas

Wonderful list! Donni at The Magic Onions was one of my early Waldorf influences as well. Another lovely Waldorf-inspired blog is The Parenting Passage : http://theparentingpassageway.com/ where Carrie shares thoughts, philosophy, and practical ideas on a variety of family-related subjects to encourage her readers in peaceful parenting.
ReplyDelete(Thank you for the mention of How the Sun Rose. It is such a delight to be able to share ideas and glean thoughts and inspiration from each other.)
I've already visited so many of these lovely blogs and enjoyed them even though we don't embrace Waldorf with the passion you do. i found Bare feet and a free spirit through your blog and love to visit! Wish I had the time to visit more...thanks for sharing Kell!

ReplyDeleteSo many gorgeous & talented blogs
My favourite from a southern hemisphere point of view was the seasonally and waldorf inspired Moonspun, It is not active very much anymore, as the little one has grown up considerably, but the author has left most of it there and she now blogs at Knitting the Wind http://knittingthewind.blogspot.com.au/

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these, I'm definitely not strictly Waldorf in my approach to teaching or being a parent, but I love to pick bits and and pieces. I'm a bit of a bower bird mama :)
ReplyDeleteI love this Kylie!! I think I'm a bower bird mama too! :) xx
