{House Tour: Lukka's Room}

Okay, I know. I wrote Monday. The last week just got out from under me. I've got a few more rooms to show you this week, and a ton of thoughts swimming in my head for future posts. Also coming up is a lot of Christmas presents revealed since all gifts have been given.

Enjoy Lukka's room. It's one of my favorites in the whole house and perfectly suited for a mischievous boy of three!

The two kids' rooms are upstairs, and with each having a slanted ceiling, these make charming child-size rooms. I immediately knew where he'd like his bed, and this was very easy for me to throw things together I already had to decorate. Banner above double window was made by me for a friend's baby shower awhile back.
Here's the little goof showing off the main attraction to his room-two cubbies to play in with friends and sister alike. I often find him with all his blankets and teddies in there reading to them during his quiet time.
These open shelving units are great storage for toys, found in both kids' rooms for toys, books, etc. We still rotate their toys every week so they don't get tired of them, so that's why it may look a bit bare. Art on this wall is a print I won from Arian Armstrong titled The Shore.
Here is a better view of his 'reading nook', it's a bit of an unused corner with tons of light from a large window. I'm still working on making a large pillow or bean bag to put there, and then one of these to finish the job! What a cute room for a little boy, huh? We just love this house!

I really miss those charming slanted ceilings in our house in Lincoln. They just made the rooms feel instantly cozy. Thanks for the tour Sarah.

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...
