Garden Progress

Our horribly planned plot (totally my fault) is actually doing well. We've had to take out one section (above, far left) of lettuce because within 24 hours some very tiny bugs stripped it clean. Frankly, that plot was the one I cared least about since we get fabulous leafy greens every week in our CSA box. Our cilantro is tasting SO good and ready to harvest, and our carrots, dill, and cucumber plant are doing the best of all in this square foot plot.

Stefan made a 5 minute fix for our climbing sugar snap peas, but they have yet to blossom. Anikka and I LOVE these peas. We got two bags at the Farmer's Market last Saturday and they were gone within 12 hours. We practically fight over them so I'm hoping they produce soon!

Our sweet little raspberry corner has taken off and just a few have ripened in the past 2 or 3 days. We need some netting so the birds don't get to them, but we have so many little critters in our yard that I don't know if this particular berry is even there, still. It needed about one more day of sunlight!

Azra and I love sneaking out to our garden to pick the sugar snap peas! They are so tasty, and a perfect snack off the vine while we're playing in the backyard. Now I'm just wishing that I planted way more of them!!

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...
