Feeling Gross and House Getting Groser

Is grosser even a word? I feel in my "I can play the pregnant card" state that it is. My house was this morning (and all last week) gross, unwashed floors, laundry, food getting older in the fridge, ya get the idea.

Which leads me to blog: I feel a lot sicker with this pregnancy than I did with Lukka, and so a lot of things are suddenly feeling harder to get myself to do, i.e. cleaning and blogging. I have a few fun things to share about (namely, book and movie reviews, and a cool new recycling program in NE) that will hopefully get me off the couch and typing on the computer.

Forewarned: Blogging will be random until roughly August 30th (when my first trimester is up). Hopefully the "all day" morning sickness will be gone...seriously, the only time I don't feel it is when I'm asleep.

Please be patient.

Take care Sarah. I understand the all-day queasies. They are rough! I don't think I blogged much then either. :)

sorry you aren't feeling well, my dear! But it will all be worth it...maybe this one is a girl? :) Thanks for posting on my blog, and I'll have to catch myself up on your life when I get back!
P.S. Sorry I haven't posted pictures of my dress yet, I am a bad person!

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...
