Birthday Interview; 6


photocredit: Dad

I love that Lukka's birthday falls on the First Day of Summer. Mine is the First Day of Spring so it feels like it fits perfectly as the firstborn to already share some tiny connection upon entrance. Fast forward 6 years and I have got a 'gonna-be' first-grader, a Tiger Scout, a cereal & milk lover, and the most curious, serious, and inventive child on the block. I thought it would be fun to do a birthday interview, of which I first saw on Telling Gets Old blog. I loved Bethany's idea so much I'm stealing it as our own memory-maker as we celebrate his birthday today (and a bit tomorrow, too).

What is your name? Lukka 
Where were you born?  a hospital
Where do you live now? Blaine
What is your favorite food? quinoa pasta (it's an alfredo dish)
What is your favorite drink? soda
What is your favorite color? blue
What is your favorite animal? cats
What is your favorite book? Sonic comics
What is your favorite toy? my sword & my shield 
What is your favorite song? "By this we know love"
What do you like to do inside? watch tv
What do you like to do outside? play
What do you want to be when you grow up? a dad, and a UPS driver
What makes you sad? spanks
What makes you happy? teddies
Where is your favorite place to go? the mall
What is your favorite thing to do? play outside with the neighbors
Who are some of your friends? Abby, Naomi, Ezra, Nahum, Milo
What does Mom always say to you?  Please be quiet (he added: "in the mornings")

Is there anything else? No. That's it.

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...
