Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from the Mast family.

Lukka and Anikka playing their new instruments (Ani wearing her Christmas sweater) bringing in the New Year. I have a feeling it will be a loud one!

Recap of 2010:

  • January: I loved doing projects from an online art class, we celebrated our first full year of community group (weekly gathering of families who 'do life together'), and we were in full-throttle snow play.
  • Febuary: Celebrated Anikka's first birthday! and got sick, a lot. Put in dreads, but they only lasted 6 weeks or so.
  • March: I turned 25, and I don't remember much else.
  • April: Made lots of crafts for upcoming babies/birthdays and joined the Mom2Mom leadership team. Started the first year of our CSA box.
  • May: Took a trip with one of my best friends to Kansas City, tried Bubble Tea for the first time, and planned Lukka's birthday party.
  • June: Lukka turns 3! Jazz in June festivals, tons of outdoor activities with the kids, strawberry picking and fruit-leather making.
  • July: Celebrated our 5th weeding anniversary with a Mom&Dad only trip up to British Columbia, and played at Trago Park. Did something outside almost every day.
  • August: took another online class, though this was blog-related. Picked Raspberries (sad.)Went to the Lancaster County Fair and sweat. A lot.
  • September: Picked apples with friends, fell in love with Prairie Hill, and lost our sweet pup Arjax. Still gettin' over that one. Started preschool-homeschool with Lukka.
  • October: Had kids take a music class, Voted, celebrated Halloween with dressing up and plenty of pumpkin patches.
  • November: Thanksgiving, moved into our cozy house. Finished Christmas presents. Knitted. Slept, a lot. Celebrated Stefan's 25th birthday by none other than Chipotle!
  • December: Cut down a tree. Baking. Tons of family and friends. Lu's first church pagent. Relaxation. Christmas.

An excellent end to a full and fun year!

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

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...

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...

{This Moment}

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.
