Learning Activities for 3 Month Old Babies

Leaf-y Jack-o-lantern

Letting little ones experience as many simple things as possible will immensely benefit them throughout their childhood. And keeping it simple is key! Here is a post I wrote well over three years…
Breathtaking Winter Books All Kids Should Hear
We truly do live quite simply. You won’t find anything all that extravagant out here and thanks to a big de-cluttering movement last year, you won’t find much at all really. Not too many toys, or clothes, or “stuff”. With one exception. Books. We have bookshelves and bookshelves full of books. Mostly children’s books and…
Toddler Halloween Costumes
