Birthday Interview... 7

Last year we started birthday interviews, which is a tradition I love. It's amazing how kids develop, grow, and change their 'favorites' from year to year. Today we're celebrating Lu's 7th birthday (!!) with an all-day extravaganza, and a big first--friends celebrating with us.
I'll be taking pictures throughout the day and sharing here how we celebrated our boy with an all-day-long surprise family date doing things he loves. Towards the afternoon, we'll be picking up some friends to join us. Happy 7th little dude, we love you!

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

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!

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.
