{House Tour: Lukka's Room}

Okay, I know. I wrote Monday. The last week just got out from under me. I've got a few more rooms to show you this week, and a ton of thoughts swimming in my head for future posts. Also coming up is a lot of Christmas presents revealed since all gifts have been given.

Enjoy Lukka's room. It's one of my favorites in the whole house and perfectly suited for a mischievous boy of three!

The two kids' rooms are upstairs, and with each having a slanted ceiling, these make charming child-size rooms. I immediately knew where he'd like his bed, and this was very easy for me to throw things together I already had to decorate. Banner above double window was made by me for a friend's baby shower awhile back.
Here's the little goof showing off the main attraction to his room-two cubbies to play in with friends and sister alike. I often find him with all his blankets and teddies in there reading to them during his quiet time.
These open shelving units are great storage for toys, found in both kids' rooms for toys, books, etc. We still rotate their toys every week so they don't get tired of them, so that's why it may look a bit bare. Art on this wall is a print I won from Arian Armstrong titled The Shore.
Here is a better view of his 'reading nook', it's a bit of an unused corner with tons of light from a large window. I'm still working on making a large pillow or bean bag to put there, and then one of these to finish the job! What a cute room for a little boy, huh? We just love this house!

I really miss those charming slanted ceilings in our house in Lincoln. They just made the rooms feel instantly cozy. Thanks for the tour Sarah.

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
