{House Tour: Our Room}

Here is the last {House Tour} post, as I'm sure you don't want to see our unfinished (yet tidy, ahem!) basement, and our backyard will have to wait until there are lanterns about with our first backyard bbq in the late Spring.

Our room is much smaller than our last, which is okay, it's quite cozy. There are two large windows, making it great mid-day, for lighting up the whole room. In this first picture you can tell we don't have much up on the walls yet, we're still working on that. To the left is the $10 antique dresser I got at an estate sale last year, holding our wall art for us.
We put Stefan's dresser behind the bed and although it's a bit tight with two dressers, it's not that bad. The older one will be painted a sky blue come summer, brighting up the room a bit more.
Here is a bit of a different view of the room, standing beside the lamp table. The door on the left is actually jam.packed. with Stefan's work clothes, all our shoes, and all my clothes in storage compartments. It also has two over-head shelves that we put our luggage in! And no, it's not a walk-in, just incredibly effecient. There is a bit of a nook, more than likely for a TV, that I haven't gotten around to re-arranging yet. It's holding candles, vases, and sea shells currently. The cupboards below house our linens and the cupboards above are H-U-G-E. They go back about 3.5 feet deep! We really have so much storage in this little house!

Hope you enjoyed the {House Tour}. I love looking in people's old & new houses, so I figured some of you might, too!

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...
