Linky Love



Linky Love is here again. I love to share my great, interesting, or worthwhile links every month, so enjoy! This month is all about books, school, fall, fashion, and of course, what would it be without a bit of crafting and food mixed in? In no particular order...I give you...the bullets:
  • Teachers, parents, and child-care providers get excited for some well designed free printables. They actually exist.
  • Looking for frugal items to stash in a bin for rainy days and crafting with littles around? Here is a great list.
  • This new farmhouse (kitchen shown here) has me drooling for our own little plot of land. Don't ask Stefan how many animals I want. He'll just roll his eyes.
  • There's still a place in my heart for this job. Yes, wanted to be one until I was about 16 and scraped by in my Chem class. Travelling and learning--the perfect combination.
  • And another thing about life-long learning....
  • probably the prettiest food blog I've seen in awhile. Haven't tried any of the recipes, just can't get over the beautiful shots.
  • Cute headband+bun hair tutorial. Might try this.
  • Just need to find the hour to watch this PBS special on the teenage brain. Yes, I really am interested...it's just that FNL has been taking up all my time!
  • I think I stumbled upon this gem awhile back from a friend's facebook page (link maybe?). Anyway, I really have enjoyed the articles.
  • Oh-la-la I love everything in here. Simplicity and nature. Also love the sister scarf shop, Dear June. It must be the packaging!
  • Yardsaletreasuremap.com um...as if I needed a reason!
  • The next few books on my nightstand will be: Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks and A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard.
  • The Zinn Project: teaching a people's history. Again, educators, homeschoolers, or life-learners. I can't remember if I shared this last time, so I'll post it again.
  • Anyone local? I'd love to try out the new Art & Soul shop. Complete with kid and adult cooking and art classes. I have yet to get out there.

Loving these links! For starters, I am just starting A Stolen Life. I just finished Room, so it might be a little overload of similar stories, but we'll see.
I am LOVING the free printables link, thank you for posting it! The life-long learning link is also one which I had bookmarked awhile back, and it inspired me to put my Rosetta Stone to use and solidify a few languages, and perhaps learn a new one!

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...
