Midweek Links

I've seen a few fun things around the internet and wanted to share them with you. A smaller list, but of course, still packs punch. Enjoy!

  • Probably the kitschiest home I've ever seen. I love the boys' rooms, though I don't know if I could ever sit on an orange couch. (Those who know me personally know my strong distaste for yellow + orange!)
  • Also from same lady above, Danielle, is this freakin' sweet arrow DIY for boys.
  • Want to do more natural health remedies this winter for your family? Here are a few quick tips + 5 simple remedies for cold & flu season.
  • Are you already a master herbologist? No? Me neither, though wouldn't that be neat. At one of my favorite sites, Keeper of the Home, October is "Natural Home Remedies & Illness Prevention Month" which just means lots of links/recipes. Start here.
  • Have I told you how much I love the quarterly (seasonal) Rhythm of the Home website? Interviews, projects, recipes, and reflections....it's quite a peaceful read.
  • Anikka's Christmas sweater has been decided.
  • Okay it's official. I am now living vicariously through this woman. She's got the acreage. She's got the studio. By George, she's even got my white wood floors! It's not even funny how she stole my "dream home" portfolio (yes I have one, and no, you can't see it!). Someday!
  • I am loving this new website I found: Crunchy Betty. She's snarky and crunchalicious . My favorite combination. Her website is all about home-made health + beauty products, from powdering your nose naturally to homemade deodurant. Cool.

Umm, that house is amazing if not a little too '70s-ish. Needs more mid-century-modern.

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

July Reads

Birch Bay Sunset, rainbow hues July has been hot out here. When you live in the top story of an apartment building, and there's no air conditioning, it can feel just over the needle of uncomfortably warm when the day is above 76 degrees. We've kept blinds shut, windows open, and a fan continually blowing as it's perched in our living room window well. Just about the only thing I feel like doing after a long day is laying on the couch straight in the fan's air circulation path, and read a good book. I had some unique picks this month. * #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso  This book was just plain fun to read. Amoruso developed the iconic ebay store NastyGal way back when vintage selling on ebay was a thing. Now she's a millionaire with a kicking website that she started from scratch and didn't owe a dime to anyone else for. It's a great 200 pager with stories on dumpster diving for daily food, entrepreneurship tips, and being the backwards kid that no one t

Top 10 Books of 2017

early sunset in Ft Langley  I love reading all these "Top 10" lists of favorite books read throughout the year, so I'm adding my two cents.  I'm involved in a Book Club that I love with women from our church, a small group that meets every week and goes through a book every few months, my own list, books I'm reading aloud to the kids and  books I'm reading for educational purposes (think professional development). I took a look at all of those combined and this is what I got, in no particular order:  *  The Problem of God  by Mark Clark - I loved going through this academic apologetic book with my friends from church. It led us to great discussion, and good food for thought. I listen to Clark's sermons every week and so knew I'd probably love his writing style, too. If you have objections to Christianity, or are feeling confused about what to believe, this is a great primer.  * You're Smarter Than You Think  by Dr. Thomas Armstron
