I have decided to start a new series. A series on simple living. A series all about healthy eating, simple eating. A series where I am focusing on myself first, so I can focus on my family better. Like a lot of Mama’s I know, I have a bad habit of forgetting to take care…
14 DIY Bird Feeders for Kids
I was introduced to birdwatching by my grandparents. They lived on the edge of a forest and had a huge array of bird feeders. My Nana could tell you every type of bird you saw, which bird feeder they liked best, and how to keep squirrels out of said bird feeder. While we only have…
Rhyming Word Activities That Make Rhyming FUN
We have been on a rhyming kick lately. As I mentioned last week, my preschooler has learned to rhyme – and so he does – all the time. Since it has only been a week, I am still loving the rhyming and thinking it’s sweet (check back with me on this next week). So I…
Exploring a Birds Nest
We were out on a hunt for spring this weekend as we were up North. Rather ironic really. Travelling North to look for signs of warmer weather. We looked and really tried – but spring, on the 9th of March, was not yet to be found. No buds, or puddles, or even grass peeking through…
Salt and Watercolor Spring Art
Regardless of the weather outside, we are in the Springtime zone inside! We have been enjoying lots of different spring arts and crafts adding color and a cheery feel to our home – which is helping us through these last few days (weeks) of winter. I am happy to say we all survived February! March,…
The Nuts and Bolts of Learning with Tools
Last weekend, the kids made birdhouses. ‘Real’ birdhouses with hammers, nails, and saws. I have been holding on to that post to publish on a day when my skin is particularly thick, because I know I will receive some comments about letting my toddler use a hammer. But we do. We let our kids build…
A Pillowcase Superhero Cape – No Sew!
Superheros are becoming rather big around here. It started with Sammy’s firefighter fascination and grew into a fascination for any sort of hero. Sam loves running around (and jumping off of things), being a superhero, and ‘saving the day’! Of course, baby Benjamin – who has somehow become almost a year and a half –…
Awesome Balloon Games for Kids
It was another icy cold day in February and the kids were getting restless. It was so cold that we could not be outside for too long – and Ben can hardly walk in his snow suit, let alone burn off some much-needed energy. So we got creative and got moving inside with these awesome…
The 10 Minute Tea Towel Apron
When I was introduced to this tea towel apron I instantly fell in love … the simplicity, the practicality … the fact that it takes 10 minutes to make? Perfect! We made these at one of our Waldorf parent and child classes, and I am very excited to share this simple tutorial with you now. …
A Winter Waldorf Nature Table
If you have visited our blog before, you likely know we like to be outside. We love to be out exploring and almost always we come home with treasures from our adventures. These treasures get played with, put in bins and baskets, and used in crafts, just like in these amazing indoor nature activities. But…
