What is This Classical Life? A weblog about all the beautiful things in life, like books, food and community. It is written by Kristen, a newly-minted Memphian who is married to Michael and mother to two school-aged girls.
Why This Classical Life? Why not? The domain was bought a long time ago, the name came out of Michael's classics background and a love for WBEZ's This American Life.
In Which I am a Curmudgeon: I find the elf on the shelf trend incompatible with an incarnational Christmas.
Parenting, the Gospel & Moral Therapeutic Deism: What's best for our kids and what's best for the kingdom of God generally aren't mutually exclusive.
Be Kind: On which I reflect on how much better it can be to offer kindness and grace rather than unsolicited advice.
On Storytelling: Some of our best stories might not have a place on a blog.
Give Them Grace: A book review in which I assert that the author is espousing less grace than she believes by talking to children as unbelievers.
You have pecans??? Awesome!!!
I WISH! The neighbors have several trees… one sorta hangs onto our property… :)
Close enough! Hmmm, I think it might be time for pie. Or cookies. Or spiced nuts.
I love fall. :-)
Wow – coming from northern British Columbia where, after crab apples and berries are the extent of fruit produced, and even now farther south where apricots and apples grown in backyards, pecan are practically exotic! Very cool to have them around (even if it isn’t in your yard!)
I love them pecans When joe and chis picum
When I pick them too soon my hands are all stained. Time to get my nails done.
