We Love Open Harvest

Dinner tonight: Potato soup (with cauliflower and carrot puree, cookbook Deceptively Delicious)

Dessert tonight: Chocolate chip cookies (with chickpeas aka organic Garbanzo beans, cookbook above)

My favorite type of chips, Kettle Chips. Stefan figured out how to make a 'healthy version' of our favorite snack: salty chips. We took 2 old potatoes, cut them lengthwise with a carrot peeler, based lightly with canola oil and then lightly salted with sea salt. Bake for about 5-10 mins (check your oven frequently, we used a small toaster oven) and dip in ketchup...YUM!

Best dairy in Nebraska, Legacy Farms milk and Jisa's Cheese...YUM! (each milk container is glass, rinse and recycle for $1.50 off next milk OR keep as a cute vase for spring flowers! Watch out for their chocolate milk, I could officially drink it for the rest of my life.)

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...

We've Gone and Done It

We are in the midst of packing up, and moving. Not just any move, but The Move we've been trying to accomplish for years now. We're heading up to (Washington) Canada. In the last couple of months Stefan had been talking to a potential employer up in Richmond, British Columbia , and after a very swift interview process they offered him the job. Small and large details aside, he accepted and plans to start on February 25th. We leave one week earlier, on the 18th. That's literally just over 2 weeks from when you will read this. We told family and close friends first, and while we haven't been keeping it a huge secret, our church, as a whole, did not know until last night because it was then we could tell everyone at our seasonal congregational meeting what our plans were in person, and with many of them all at once. I didn't want to say anything online until that happened. We've been steadily spending heaps of time with friends and family, all while slowly p...
