Linky Love

photocredit

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.

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...

{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.
