Linky Love



Linky Love is here again. I love to share my great, interesting, or worthwhile links every month, so enjoy! This month is all about books, school, fall, fashion, and of course, what would it be without a bit of crafting and food mixed in? In no particular order...I give you...the bullets:
  • Teachers, parents, and child-care providers get excited for some well designed free printables. They actually exist.
  • Looking for frugal items to stash in a bin for rainy days and crafting with littles around? Here is a great list.
  • This new farmhouse (kitchen shown here) has me drooling for our own little plot of land. Don't ask Stefan how many animals I want. He'll just roll his eyes.
  • There's still a place in my heart for this job. Yes, wanted to be one until I was about 16 and scraped by in my Chem class. Travelling and learning--the perfect combination.
  • And another thing about life-long learning....
  • probably the prettiest food blog I've seen in awhile. Haven't tried any of the recipes, just can't get over the beautiful shots.
  • Cute headband+bun hair tutorial. Might try this.
  • Just need to find the hour to watch this PBS special on the teenage brain. Yes, I really am interested...it's just that FNL has been taking up all my time!
  • I think I stumbled upon this gem awhile back from a friend's facebook page (link maybe?). Anyway, I really have enjoyed the articles.
  • Oh-la-la I love everything in here. Simplicity and nature. Also love the sister scarf shop, Dear June. It must be the packaging!
  • Yardsaletreasuremap.com um...as if I needed a reason!
  • The next few books on my nightstand will be: Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks and A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard.
  • The Zinn Project: teaching a people's history. Again, educators, homeschoolers, or life-learners. I can't remember if I shared this last time, so I'll post it again.
  • Anyone local? I'd love to try out the new Art & Soul shop. Complete with kid and adult cooking and art classes. I have yet to get out there.

Loving these links! For starters, I am just starting A Stolen Life. I just finished Room, so it might be a little overload of similar stories, but we'll see.
I am LOVING the free printables link, thank you for posting it! The life-long learning link is also one which I had bookmarked awhile back, and it inspired me to put my Rosetta Stone to use and solidify a few languages, and perhaps learn a new one!

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.
