I have realized that I don’t write enough about my chickens. So today, I will do exactly that. Oh, where to begin? These ladies were precisely the reason we moved out here in the first place. Silly? I suppose. But true. We were longing for a simpler life, growing and making our own wherever we…
A Portable Sandbox
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…
A Rock-in’ Scavenger Hunt
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. It’s been a while since I’ve shared a ‘photo on Friday’, but when I thought of this idea I just needed to share. It’s rockin’ (Madeline just read the above sentence and said — “Mom, don’t drop the ‘g’” — but I’m going…
Buzz Off!!! We’re Playing!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro Gro-ables. All opinions are 100% mine. I am excited to partner with Miracle Gro and their Gro-ables Project to bring you this neat idea! It is Spring! Finally! While here in Ontario Canada we had a very mild winter, Mother Nature decided to…
Spring!
The most amazing thing happened on the weekend – Spring! Well, one day of it at least. The snow did return yesterday, but that is just part and parcel for living in Canada, eh? But that one day – goodness, it was good. We spent every last minute outside and enjoying the sunshine (and the…
A Learning-Filled Scavenger Hunt!
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…
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…
15 Fun Things to Do in the Snow!
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…
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…
Counting Snails
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. And this is actually not one of those times. But that’s okay because I really want to share this with you. Why? I’m not too sure. It’s not that great of an idea, perhaps some would even say it might be considered slightly…
