  • My biggest find of the year (ha!) thus far. Free and downloadable from Ana-white.com. Making Pottery Barn furniture on a Walmart budget. Rock on girl. I'm begging Stefan to start with the Learning Tower and Doll highchair. Word of the day: restraint.
  • One of the prettiest textile pieces ever.
  • Awesome NYT article on getting children back into the groove of PLAY and why it's so important for development. I jump right onto any train that tries to bring back recesses.
  • Already on my pre-order list. Third book due out in August. Can't wait!
  • I've still got Christmas money to burn and I've recently sampled this album. Any Decemberists lovers out there? Do you like this one?
  • Such wonderful photos to start the year off right. I love the bird one.
  • If you're a recycler, repurposer, or a 're-styler' (er?), join up with two of my favorite bloggers who will be sharing fabulous redos with Project Restyle.
  • If you know me at all you know I love my birthday. I've already begun my wish-list in my super.secret.notebook; reminiscent of Harriet the Spy. On it is this, this, this, and this!
  • I'm totally getting Lukka this magazine for his reward as finishing his first year of homeschooling. It's the same age group as his birthday mag, Ladybug only 'science and nature' infused. I love this company and highly recommend their ad-free reading material.
  • Um, omygosh, I die. I am totally pining over this Little Passports idea for future homeschool use.
  • I've got a thing for headbands. There, I said it. Now I need to make this turban one!
  • If I had any amount of room on our walls in our office/sewing room, this would make it's way there! One of my favorite mottos.
  • I love every.single.thing. in this etsy shop. Clean and crisp, simple, natural and beautiful!

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...

Top 10 Books of 2017

early sunset in Ft Langley  I love reading all these "Top 10" lists of favorite books read throughout the year, so I'm adding my two cents.  I'm involved in a Book Club that I love with women from our church, a small group that meets every week and goes through a book every few months, my own list, books I'm reading aloud to the kids and  books I'm reading for educational purposes (think professional development). I took a look at all of those combined and this is what I got, in no particular order:  *  The Problem of God  by Mark Clark - I loved going through this academic apologetic book with my friends from church. It led us to great discussion, and good food for thought. I listen to Clark's sermons every week and so knew I'd probably love his writing style, too. If you have objections to Christianity, or are feeling confused about what to believe, this is a great primer.  * You're Smarter Than You Think  by Dr. Thomas Armstro...

August Book Titles

* 50 Women Every Christian Should Know by Michelle DeRusha -- I heard the author on a podcast and the book sounded good. It was described as a book full of 5-7 page mini biographies on each woman, and that sounded both easy and interesting. It was. I really enjoyed this book and plan to give it away as a Christmas gift to someone I know will get a lot out of it. I really don't know that much about Christianity's historical females, and I felt I learned a lot. Some of the women I had never even heard of before, and it was fun to read about women I'd heard of before by name, but knew little about their lives. * The Story of Science by Susan Wise Bauer -- Oy. This book was tough to get through. Not because the writing wasn't good (it was excellent), but because of the subject matter and my right-brain. Out of any schoolish subjects, I would rate Science as my least favorite and most difficult. I read this book because when I had the kids' school order it, I thoug...
