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…
Wash Your Hands!
Well I warned you. Yesterday was all business with oodles and oodles of Christmas crafts to get you and your little ones in the holiday spirit. No chitter chatter – just the goods. But as promised, today I have some chitter chatter. Some stories. Some unimportant, just so you know, though you likely didn’t need…
Crazy Healthy Breakfast Casserole
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. I have a very good friend who cooks very good food. Super healthy food. Food that I would never believe my children would actually eat. But once in awhile – they do! This breakfast casserole is so very healthy. The main ingredient is…
Sometimes a Mama LIES …
I wish I wasn’t writing this post. I wish I was writing to tell you about all of the fluffy baby chicks we now have in our barn. I wish I was writing about what a wonderful Mama Chloe turned out to be. I wish I was telling you this, but I’m not going to….
Crispy Kale Chips
Oh the July garden! May I show you, please? (The beauty of the internet: I am pretending you said yes with smiling eyes) Well, okay then … My snap peas are growing! A titch slower than I had expected them to, but growing. I think they will take off any day now and the kids…

Once upon a time, in a land near yet far, there lived a Mama. This Mama wanted nothing more than to stay home with her kids. She longed for those long, sunny days full of finger painting, stories, and snuggles. Those moments of connection, watching all those incredible firsts, and hearing those tiny voices all…
Two Ingredient Jelly
I thought I would share something a little different this morning. While I generally share ideas for playing, learning, and exploring with little ones, I thought I might share something I just cooked up (heehee). We’ve been on our little farm for exactly one year now. Part of the reason we moved out here was…
10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Moving to the Country…
In just a few days I will officially have lived in the country for an entire year. One whole year living a very different lifestyle then I had before. So, just for fun, I thought I would write about my first year in the country … actually about what I wish I knew before living…
When a Hen Goes Broody…
It was early last week, just minutes after my children had headed to let the chickens out. They bursted through the front door, all talking a mile a minute, and for a split second I wasn’t sure if their news was about disaster or excitement. I took a moment to assess – beaming. Their little…
15 Ways to Keep Them Outside ALL Summer!
Summer time is just around the corner for us in Canada. I know for many of you summer is already in full swing! What better time to get those kids outside. While of course a great activity for outside is, well — going outside; sometimes we all need a little inspiration. When those little monkeys…
