Friday Links

a view of Deep Cove

I've been storing up good links for weeks and I have a slew of goodies for you today. These are all links that I was informed, inspired, awed, or excited by, and I hope you enjoy them just as much!


* Drone footage inside the largest cave in the world

*Read you way to a love of math book list for ages 4-12

*Hipster Business name generator: brilliant.

* This On Being episode with Maria Popova was probably the best podcast episode (and I listen to a lot) I've heard in the last month or two. Probably the best title for a job, "cartographer of meaning", Popova... "cross-pollinates — between philosophy and design, physics and poetry, the intellectual and the experiential." (taken from the website)

*Love Harry Potter? Confirmation that a spinoff is coming! And Eddie Redmayne is officially on board. #AllTheFeels

*Mental Floss is the best magazine out there, in my humble opinion. Here's a great list of the 16 Coolest Playgrounds all over the world. Sweet!

*I just discovered the violinist Lindsey Stirling and she's amazing. Within the first few measures, Lukka turned to me and said, "What is that music? I love it". Enough said.

*Got kids and/or fair skin? EWG's guide for the best sunscreens to use (i.e. no harsh chemicals and toxins). We've used California Baby for years and love it, though it can feel super thick at first.

*women photographed from all over the world (wow). Stunning.

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...
