"New House" Home Blog Tour

Yesterday's home tour was the "upstairs"; the third level where our bedrooms, bathroom, and playroom are. Today is our 2nd level. We actually have a tiny porch, which will make us very happy in the spring, where our bikes are hung from the top, Lukka's sand table is covered under snow, and our outdoor table & chairs are. Once you enter the front door, you have to go up two flights of stairs to get here! Hard for groceries & laundry (no Washer/Dryer in the place!), but okay for the tons of money we're able to save by living here.

This room is the most 'multifunctional' (read: cluttered!). It has our dinner table, our huge office desk & computer, and our couch that could not be fit upstairs, no matter how hard we try. It's okay, it worked out since we love to watch House and Lie to Me on hulu every week!
Here is one view right when you walk into the kitchen. The little wooden stove has found a cozy corner under our huge (craigslist deal!) cabinet we installed so the kids can play while I get things done in the kitchen.
Oh wait! Don't blink! You might miss our 3 feet of counter space. :) We have a very tiny kitchen, but I feel like we've been able to make it our own. We installed a shelf for our toaster and microwave above the stove, and those fun IKEA doodads don't hurt! We just got a new stove, too!
Hope you enjoyed the "New House" home tour, what's happening at your homes?!

Cluttered is good I say. If our houses werent messy somewhere or sometime then it would be a home. Am I right?

I have been such a naughty Style School Student. I haven't done barely anything. Shame on me.

I hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday!

Home School Activities: Board Games We Love

My children have recently become enthralled in the world of board games. I was never a board game player. Sure, I remember long summer hours (days? it seemed like it..) spent around a Monopoly board, but I was never one to suggest to get out the cards, or a game. As my children have grown and they are now able to do activities with me, I started noticing that they really took to puzzles (when done all together) and the one or two board games I happened to have kept in the storage room. They were always asking to play Candy Land and so I figured I should branch off a bit. Over the course of the last year, I have found GREAT games, even ones that I love to play alongside them. The amount of 'teaching' they have gotten through games is jaw-dropping. Counting, team-playing, math related patterning, are just some of the skills I've watched develop. I asked before Christmas on facebook what my friends and their own kids loved and I was thrilled with the response. We have found ov...

Home School Resources: Links we Love

Source: ladyanndeborja.tumblr.com via Sarah on Pinterest Today I'm just sharing a list of my favorite go-to resources for home schooling. It's a list of where I find games, books, crafts, and fresh inspiration. Also included are articles I've loved about home schooling. One of my favorite websites about homeschooling, updated daily, is Simple Homeschool . It's a shoot off branch of SimpleKids & SimpleMoms, and they often have great giveaways, advice, and have concise and interesting topics. A friend recently guided me to World Book Online to find the general requirements of each grade. At the curriculum fair I went to in April, I remembered two vendors that I want to revisit if they return. One was Hepner's Legacy and the other was Miller's Pads and Papers (don't be fooled by the poor websites, they have great products at good prices). TED Talks . Go. Watch. Now. All of them. Awesome. Even if home schooling is a laughable topic to you, you're ...

Lukka's Birthday Interview // 17

17! You're FINALLY 17! You can drive independently, and you have read the manual, watched professional drivers and gleaned tips from others about this test that you've been dreaming about for years. You were given a car by a friend of ours, cleaned it to perfection, fixed it up in places, and have driven your sister and friends all over for the past week in near-unbridled joy. I am so happy for you (and I'd be lying if I wasn't happy for me, too)! You are such a mature and kind-hearted young man. You have big plans and are taking the steps to proactively execute them. You are sweet to your sister even if you'd deny it in front of your friends, and your relationship with her has come full-circle back to being as close as you two were in your littlest years.  You have so many goals and you work hard to achieve them! You prioritize what's important to you, and are willing to cut the rest. Although I sometimes wonder how you will remember to get to appointments with...
