Friday Links

The Port Mann bridge on a beautiful day with minimal traffic!

I haven't done a batch of links in a long time, but I had to share a few of these gems before we leave for our long trip. Enjoy!

*Spilled Milk is quickly becoming my favorite kitchen companion podcast. The foodie non-married couple are the perfect pairing with meal prep, especially because I laugh out loud throughout. 

*A tiered cheese wheel for entertaining...brilliant! Those Brits think of everything...

*This is a great list for easy/kid-friendly hikes around Vancouver, if you ever find yourself visiting this magical city!

*want to watch those wonderful BBC Masterpiece shows when they air in the UK? There's a way!

*These famous DIY sisters are finally writing a cookbook! 

*I couldn't believe this amazing hunting/conservation story via Radiolab.

*I just finished The Martian novel and can't.even.wait. to watch the movie on the big screen with friends!

*As silly as it is, I might have teared up at this. The time will soon happen when I can share one of my favorite children's series with my own kids. 

*Yes. 100% yes. #IntrovertForever

*I may have found the perfect (affordable) riding boot.  ((please fit my calves, please fit my calves...))

*If you listen closely, you'll hear Lukka asking a related question on his favorite science podcast for kids, Brains On!

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.

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.

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...

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.
