December Photo Project: A Primer



This December (ahem, tomorrow!) I'll be participating for the second time, in my friend's annual photography project. For an entire month, I'll just be posting one photo a day. It's a time for quiet on the blog, letting my mind stew lots of new blog posts, but also to enjoy the full season that is upon us. This year we've (I've) really reined back and have almost nothing planned in December...and it will stay that way. A few play-dates, and of course each Grandma (or Oma) will get their special baking days with the kids and I, but other than that, we're not doing anything else.
At home we enjoy our own traditions of an advent calendar, and a daily Jesse tree, along with ^ baking days, but the presents are finished, mostly packaged, and the family photos are ready to be sent. Enjoy friends.

So what IS the DPP? It's a photo challenge to shoot and upload one picture per day until Christmas. Please find my friend RT (yes, in real life! She's so cool)'s explanation of what the DPP is, how to join, how to grab a badge like mine on the left and how to keep up with it via Facebook if you're so inclined. Be sure to follow RT's blog, too, so you can keep up with her lovely photos all December long!

Shhhh! It's starting...!

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.
