Linky Love

Linky love is back and after it's rather long hiatus I've got tons of inspiration-filled DIY's, fresh color palettes, a few diet and nutrition goodies, and we couldn't be politically incorrect without a few news clips. Enjoy!
  • My favorite SAHM blogger has another beautiful and interesting e-course up called Style Your Space all about pulling together a beautiful home with vintage, thrifted, or made ideas. Promises of snooping through other blogger houses included!
  • Um, this was hilarious. And true. Don't ever say those things to me.
  • At Simple Organic a really exhaustive post was put together titled Identifying and Avoiding Toxins in Beauty Care products. For those of you who revel in your "no 'poo" method, this post is for you.
  • I'll be watching Last Train Home very soon. It's in my living room as I type.
  • I checked out the book, Handmade Weddings from the library simply for the pictures, but I loved what I found inside. Color palettes, themes, and amazingly cute party DIYs for (just about) any occasion. The party-thrower in me just geeked out.
  • Really now? REALLY? We had to waste tax-paying dollars on this? I think we can all agree that mess needs to end.
  • Although I don't ascribe to AP (Attachment Parenting) for many reasons, I really appreciated this sincere and thoughtful post on what it means to comply (or not) to a parenting philosophy.
  • I can't wait to meet those little chickies! And, more importantly...their eggs.
  • Dude, sign the petition. It's a little ridiculous how close this is to passing into law!
  • So e-courses are the new black, and here are a few I've seen around blog-land that look neat: Creativity Boot Camp, Dream Job, and Playful Learning Spaces. I've been drooling over that last one but it comes with a hefty price tag of $125...GASP.
  • I need to rotate a wintry picture in our living room. This one looks about right.
  • I so loved this (adult-friendly) kid's idea for making poetry interesting.
  • Loved this WSJ post about "The Montessori Mafia". Very interesting.
  • Free art downloads from Free your Soul. Thanks Mia!
  • Maria Shriver Interviews Poet Mary Oliver was one of the best interviews I'd read in awhile. It helps that I love poetry...and nature...
  • Oh No They Didn't. (Oy. They did.) Oh help me!

I loved the WSJ Montessori post! I'm still going back and forth between Montessori and traditional for when Azra starts school, so it was great to see the impact it can have on children in their adulthood.

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...
