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.
Looks like y’all had a great time at the art connection! We had a plan for today that included the Tampa Museum of Art and the campus bookstore. That was thwarted due to various circumstances (and we discovered it was less expensive to order the book and OVERNIGHT it than drive to go get it. Ugh. Gas prices.)
I LOVE this photo!
