DPP // 16-25







From our family's trip back to the Midwest for Christmas, I only had snapped a handful of pictures, these being the (even fewer still) usable ones. 

Lukka and Anikka are sharing a hot chocolate and a 'newspape' before another long day of driving.

 I got to greet and feed one of my best friend's horses and see her new barn. 

We enjoyed Nebraska City with my mom and step-father for a few days, and got out in the harsh cold for a walk. 

I don't even have enough pictures to make a round 10, finishing up the December Photo Project 2013. I'm even slightly irritated at myself for posting this in 2014. Happy New Year, by the way. 

I meant to complete the project. I meant to post the pictures before December was over. It just didn't happen. I was too busy living my life, visiting family and friends, and celebrating another year gone by. Soon enough, I'll get to those goal-setting exercises. I'm not in a rush and I always love a good list...

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.
