Why do birds fly in a “V”?

How many questions do you get asked in a day? My count right now has to be close to 100. Inquisitive, curious kids are fabulous – though, truth be told, exhausting. While I have been known to respond with the day-dreamy “yep” in the car after responding to 38 questions about clouds, I really do…

Raising a Wild Child

September 14, 2016 by Sarah 1 Comment

My kids are actually very well behaved. They are calm, kind, and inquisitive – as long as they are outdoors. Put some walls around those boys of mine and sooner than later they will start to bounce off them. This will change with time of course, as they get older. But for now? I’m raising…

15 Things to do instead of TV (No prep, independent, right now activities!)

July 5, 2016 by Sarah 11 Comments

Well, day one of summer made me realize a difference from last year. We are going to need to put some limits on screen time. Given it was a rainy day, but my kids were still watching TV way too much. It’s funny how easy it is to slip into that habit. For the first…

May 16, 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

There are a few things that I find are coming to me with age. One of which is pairing things down — or simplifying, I suppose. We were at our local Children’s Museum last week and there was the neatest (hugest) marble (well ball) run. It was made on a great big metal wall with…
