Do you know what makes me really happy? Well, lots of things actually. But one of those things? When I find a fun-filled activity that my boys love and it is also full of learning. Really good learning too – vocabulary, math, fine and gross motor development – all the good stuff! I am so…
A Scavenger Hunt to Find Colours!
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. Well, I am cheating a little this week – as this is actually a full post … but it’s a full post over on Hands on as we Grow, so it is kind of like a photo on Friday here. Sort of. Anyways,…
Snow-Frozen Yogurt Melts
In the summer we made these yummy (oh so yummy), simple (oh so simple), and healthy (oh so … well, pretty healthy) yogurt melts. Since February has hit hard, with a one-two punch in the face with snow and power outages, I thought I would fight back. How- you might be asking? Well, by using…
Still Tracing Shadows
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the photo. I might need to rename my Friday posts to “It’s been 3 years and we are still doing the same things” Because quite truthfully, we are. Ben and I were building some shadows the other day with blocks and we decided to trace…

I love the winter – but I haven’t always. Truthfully, I use to really dislike it. REALLY. But, I love the outdoors and I love having my kids outside. And where I live we have snow for a good 5 months of the year, which is a very long time to dislike something. So a…
The Best of 2015 {A Photo on Friday}
Happy New Year! I am so excited for the year ahead – 2016 is going to be amazing. I have big goals and big plans for this year, I hope you do too. My Dad has always told me to set my sights high, and this year I am really going to listen to him…
Playdough Road Construction
A photo on Friday. Well this little gem was a HUGE hit with Benjamin. A little playdough, whipped up from my favourite no-cook recipe, a few diggers and voila! A playdough road in need of some serious repair. Again and again and again. Hope you have a lovely, festive weekend friends. Let the holiday fun…
Waldorf in Our Home
We are beginning to move full swing into the holiday season and I have been planning the two weeks we will all be at home. With some down time I thought it would be a great chance to plan a few activities with my little ones, and since I do love all things Waldorf, I…
