At first glance, The Oxbow looks like a beautiful landscape. But there is so much more hiding in it.
Look at the contrast between the two sides. On the left, dark forest, broken trees, and a storm. On the right, sunlight, farmland, and the winding Connecticut River.
Then look closer. Thomas Cole painted himself into the foreground, almost disappearing into the trees. And on the distant hillside, some art historians believe the cleared lines may form Hebrew letters, possibly spelling Shaddai, “The Almighty,” or Noah from another angle.
Whether that hidden message was intentional is still debated, but that is part of what makes this painting so fascinating.
Thomas Cole is our featured artist in the September Tea Time Together guide.

There is so much beauty in this world, and what a shame it would be to rush past it without really noticing.
Over the years, our family has had the privilege of gazing upon countless masterpieces all over the world, and every time I’m reminded just how much there is to notice.
We want our girls to see as much of it as they can. Beautiful art, beautiful places, beautiful buildings, beautiful things people have made with care. And we want them to have the time to stop, look closely, ask questions, and simply take it in.
That is one of the things I’m most grateful for in homeschooling. It gives us the freedom to make room for days like this. To linger a little longer. To follow curiosity. To let beauty be part of their education, not something separate from it.
🎨Thomas Cole, ✍🏼Emily Dickinson, and 🎶 Richard Wagner are joining us for Tea Time this September!
Our September Seasonal Guide gives you four weeks of art, poetry, and classical music study centered around these three creative souls, with a new painting, poem, and musical piece to enjoy together each week.
We also include artist biographies, high-resolution art prints, and weekly recipes with easy and moderate options, so you can create a beautiful homeschool rhythm without having to pull all the pieces together yourself.
Pour the tea, bring something delicious to the table, and enjoy learning together.

The ‘ber months are here, and I’m ready for it! 🍂
This time of year our homeschool feel extra cozy — fuzzy blankets are out, hot tea in our cups, something with cinnamon baking in the oven, and a candle lit each evening. I think tea time was created just for this season.
And I made a Seasonal Tea Time Guide for every ‘ber month — everything’s planned out so you can just show up and enjoy the time together. 🤎

📚Signs you might be raising a bibliophile:
You go into bookstores “just to look.”
Your kids love the smell of books as much as you do.
Library trips count as entertainment.
There are books in every room of your house.
Vacations require book logistics.
Your kids have strong opinions about adaptations. 😂
I love that somewhere along the way, reading became part of our family culture. Not something we have to encourage or assign, just something we genuinely love and do together.
If this sounds like your family too, September 6 is basically our national holiday.
Happy Read a Book Day, fellow book-loving families. 🤎📚
What if we started the school year the way we want it to feel? ☕️📚
Our FREE Back to School Tea Time is a simple, ready-to-go celebration to mark the beginning of a new homeschool year.

Print the guide, grab a snack, pour something yummy, and gather around the table.
That’s it. A sweet, simple way to say, here we go... a brand new year.

Of course we were going to celebrate Eat Outside Day!
Sometimes the random little holidays are the best excuse to change things up a bit.
Tea Time Together usually happens around our table, but some of our favorite weeks are the ones where we pack everything up, head outside, and let the fresh air become part of the lesson.
A little art. A little poetry. Something good to eat. Kids sprawled out on a blanket instead of sitting in their usual spots. It’s such a simple change, but somehow it makes the whole afternoon feel special.
And with summer winding down and the -ber months just around the corner, I’m feeling extra sentimental about these last warm, slow days. There’s still time for one more picnic, one more meal outside, one more afternoon of soaking it all in before the season shifts.
So today, we’re taking tea time outside. And if you needed an excuse to do the same, this is it!

More Than Meets the Eye. 🐈
One of the featured works of art in our August Tea Time Together Guides is Sara Holding a Cat by American Impressionist Mary Cassatt, our featured August artist.
At first glance, it’s simply a sweet portrait of a young girl cuddling a cat.
But look closer.
Cassatt was fascinated by ordinary moments of childhood and family life. She painted children reading, playing, resting, sitting with their mothers... and here, simply loving a pet.
Notice the way Sara holds the cat close. There’s nothing stiff or formal about it. Cassatt captures the kind of affection that feels completely natural, as if we’ve stepped into the room and happened upon this quiet moment.
Now look at the brushwork. The edges are soft, with loose, visible strokes rather than precise detail. As an Impressionist, Cassatt was more interested in capturing the feeling of a moment than making every line perfectly sharp.
There’s another detail that makes this painting especially meaningful.
Cassatt painted Sara Holding a Cat in 1908, late in her career, as her eyesight was beginning to deteriorate. Within a few years, her vision would become so poor that she could no longer continue painting.
And yet here she was, still paying attention to something so small and ordinary: a child and her cat in a quiet moment of affection.
Maybe that’s part of what makes Cassatt’s work so special. She reminds us that ordinary family life is worth looking at closely.
This is just one of more than 52 beautiful works of art your family will encounter throughout a year of Tea Time Together. Week by week, we’re inviting our children to slow down, look closely, notice beauty, and train their hearts and affections toward what is beautiful.
Because art appreciation isn’t simply about knowing the names of famous paintings. It’s about learning to see and appreciate the beauty of everyday life.
