Happy Friday! This week has gone by in the blink of an eye. It was very good, lots of fun and learning and time out and about with friends – just very fast. I hope you had a lovely week as well. I wanted to share an idea with you that has been a humongous…
Making Rock Candy
We are big on traditions around here. Fridays have been movie night for as long as I can remember. And my kids will say exactly the same. While I work very hard to put wholesome food on the table and into little mouths, Friday night is the exception. Chips, popcorn, and treats make Friday movie…
Heart, Lungs, Brain, Oh My!
Parts of our homeschool day are going really, really well. Parts. We will settle into our new rhythm and I am very convinced that in a few short weeks the parts that are going well will grow, and most of our day will be fabulous. For now, I will focus on those really, really great…
Invitation to Build with Popsicle Sticks and Clothespins
A Quiet Bin Idea Photo on Friday (a little lengthy, I’ll have to think of a catchier title …) Today I wanted to share this super simple quiet bin. It is an invitation to create with popsicle sticks and clothespins. I call it an invitation because there is no expected outcome. I am not asking…
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…

Learning with Siphons in the Water Table
If you should happen to have an old garden hose, or a spare garden hose, have I got an activity sure to keep your little ones happy, learning, and cool this summer! Cut up that water hose and turn it into a siphon. I wrote all about it over on CBC parents last week. My…
Frozen Snack!
We were nestled in a few days ago on a chilly, drizzly day. The type of day that just makes you sleepy. The type of day absolutely perfect for snuggling little ones while watching a show or two. While my littlest had his nap, me and my middle-guy were watching a Sid the Science Kid….
Make a Sandwich Bag Compost
Earth Day is coming up (April 22nd, just a few days away) making this idea perfect for today! The idea of composting is AMAZING – taking food waste and garbage, turning it into rich soil, to then grow food again. AMAZING! But it is tough for children to really understand this. It takes time ……
