Welcome to the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop! For those of you who are visiting Stir the Wonder for the first time, I’m a stay-at-home mom of a three and a half-year old boy. We are just starting our homeschool journey and I write about all the hands-on learning activities we do and the occasional post about parenting. I hope you’ll take a look around while you’re here and let me know what you think on Facebook!

The Thoughtful Spot is a place to gather every week to share your family friendly posts, crafts, educational ideas, recipes, and more! Inspired by the philosophy of the Winnie the Pooh character in the classic A.A. Milne storybooks for children. Brought to you each week by Enchanted Homeschooling Mom, ABC Creative Learning, World for Learning, Stir the Wonder and Mommy Maleta.
