Friday Links



friends, imagination and Lego

I've been collecting these goodies for awhile now. They're all fairly random and lovely. Enjoy!

*Sylvia Plath is one of my all time favorite poet/authors and I've spent an inordinate amount of time studying her work. Here is Plath reading "Spinster" link, which is a rare recording.

*Enough with the TV shame--one of the best blog entries I've read in the past month. Especially as we enter the summer.

*I think I know why you're yelling.

*Oh crap. I use a lot of baby powder. This is sort of horrifying. Stop. Just stop now.

*Overwhelmed? 5 questions to ask yourself if you're doing too much.

*Do you have comic-loving kids? Check this out.

*My kids can't wait to watch this Nova/PBS Robot movie.

*Want, and trying to convince my friends it'll be a commemorative of our vacation together in July.

*You guys are gonna' love this short (4 min.) animated movie. Watch it til' the end and then burst into tears.

*Gorgeous video, sound, and lyrics.

*Necessity.

*Looking forward to putting a few of these places on the calendar when we need a local family hike/adventure.

*Got a kid in your life who loves STEAM-related things (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math)? Take them to PBS' Design Squad!

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!
