Quiet, Please!!

photocredit
Sorry for the silence around here, but there is good reason. These first 3 weeks of June are a bit hectic for us, as we've been visiting a lot of family; gearing up to see some friends we haven't seen in years (!), about 4 appointments, a close family member's wedding (moving a few blocks away, Yay!!!), and a little Bug that is turning 2!
Phew! I'm tired just thinking about it!
I have lots of home-made items including new cooking trials, sewn items for wedding and babies, some book reviews, and a few birthday presents to share. They are just sitting on my hard-drive, waiting for their turn of glory on the blog.

In the meantime, enjoy some linky love I rounded up just for you!





The most inspiring blog to me this year . Ok, this one too. Ok. Gotta stop.


Still reading The China Study and yes, we are slllllllowly becoming vegetarian, although aiming for vegan. Seriously. Read it. You won't be disappointed.


Wish I could take pictures like her. Wish I could sew like her!


Want to be her when I grow up. Ok, so maybe just the horses part, not the cows part!


Love this motto: "I'm taking over the world and making it cuuuuuuuute!" Her dreams are coming true!


My own plug: Know anyone in the market for a beautiful 2-story house? Original wood throughout with beautiful color palette :) Yes, Our House is up for sale again!


Hope you enjoyed the "Brain Candy" as a friend of mine likes to say! and see you soon.....

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...

A portrait of his sister. From Soulemama's blog : A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
