An Invitation to Build Big

July 18, 2016 by Sarah 4 Comments

We have some absolutely lovely neighbours. Neighbours who were thrilled at the chance to swap firewood from their woods for (loads of) eggs from our lovely ladies.

A Portable Sandbox

May 25, 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Why this did not occur to me sooner I have no idea … I have had a game changing discovery — are you ready for it? A sandbox on wheels. Seems simple (which is actually beautiful) but think of the possibilities! I wrote all about it for Melissa and Doug – trust me friends, you…

March 31, 2016 by Sarah 5 Comments

Do you have a handy kid? All of my little ones amaze me with what they are capable of (when I give them the opportunity to show me, that is). And woodworking projects are no exception! Madeline didn’t have too many opportunities when she was little, I’m afraid to say. I cringed with the idea…

January 29, 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. Happy Friday friends! This week Sam was home with a bug again. One of those bugs that seem to go on and on and on. Near the end of the week he was feeling pretty good, but still had a fever, so he…

A Mapping Scavenger Hunt!

January 20, 2016 by Sarah 1 Comment

What a weekend! It was full to the brim, and full of snow too. So much so, in fact, that we wound up without internet for quite some time. Given that our phone, television, and pretty much any other electronic entertainment we have runs off internet it was kind of like Little House on the…

12 Field Trips that could Change the World

August 11, 2015 by Sarah Leave a Comment

I wrote yesterday about my intent to homeschool my boys for awhile using the Oak Meadow Curriculum. Good news — today that is still the plan. With all my uncertainty and wavering on the decision to educate my boys myself, I have been focusing on my “Why”. Why is it, really, that I want to…
