Friday Links

Here are a few of my favorite things in and around blogland that I wanted to share. I will be having a wonderful weekend strawberry picking at RocaBerry Farm on Saturday morning, and hanging out with the family for the rest of the weekend. I'll be back Monday!
* Can't wait to make myself one of these awesome DIY Feather Hair Accessories. I've always loved the look of them and this tutorial makes it look easy as pie!
* What am I going to do with all those strawberries you ask? Well, other than eat them on the way home, I'm going to make some strawberry fruit leather (healthy version of the fruit roll up)!
*Taking your kids to the beach this summer? Read this wonderful Simple Homeschool blog post, Stefani of BlueYonderRanch talks about how to unschool at the seaside.
*Some very wander-lustful pics of the Maine woods.
*One of the coolest new artists I've read/seen in a long time:Essimar . Excellent interview and photos here.
*Always need the daily reminder of patience. It's never pretty, but mommy time-outs never are.
*Love this lady's pictures. SO pretty.
*Listening on pandora: Alison Krauss and Nickel Creek. The bluegrass of my childhood never gets old.
* Last but not least, not gonna lie...just bought this book and this book from amazon and I can't wait to dig my nose into them. (I always check out everything at the library first, and 95% of the time don't think I need it. Craft books--are my weakness.)
Shameless self-promotion: While we're talking about links, I got linked up from Simple Mom! Woot!

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...
