Linky Love Saturday

  • I really, really, REALLY want to see Micmacs , and was a bit sad when I couldn't go this week with some old friends. I guess I'll just have to wait until it's on netflix, because it's already gone!
  • "Green & Gorgeous: Home Beauty Routine" has all types of tips and directions for making your own beauty products out of basic household items/food.
  • I would have never thought to use Craigslist as a way to find cheap summer produce!
  • Again, with the birthday party ideas; these people are genius!
  • A smorgasbord of felt food tutorials, by the Crafty Crow. That one is going in the favorites section!
  • A neighborhood 'book party'; ideas, props, pictures! So. stinking'. awesome!
  • To spice things up, a juice reaction post in response to CNN's 'Negotiated Fidelity' stance. Bizarre, people!
  • If you're in Lincoln, hit up the County Fair this weekend for all day fun events. Don't miss out on the fabulous Prairie Land Dairy milkshakes! (Get free tickets at any U-Stop.)
  • Just watched The Lovely Bones last night. Super strange and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Review coming next week.
  • Just finished reading BUST magazine cover to cover, and love their 'how to wrap a scarf' tips, AND that Molly Ringwald was in it! Also, their Movie suggestions went straight to my queue.

Any links that are too good not to share? Leave them here!

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 ...

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

How To: Build A Sand/Water Table for Under $30 ! Sorry this took me so long to blog, but I had to have a tool list and full instructions before I could do so. A little history on my love for the sand/water table . I love the idea behind tools for tiny hands, i.e. the Montessori Method , and like to have Lukka 'figure things out for himself', even when he is playing. I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore! I know the last reason is just for me, but it's true. Plastic things don't generally last 1/2 as long as wooden or fabric toys, and they are unattractive. For this reason, I started to look for a wooden sand/water table as opposed to a pl...
