(I wrote this last night. Some thoughts and reflections on the last two years of being a "school mom" with a chronic illness and of the start of our homeschool time) We had Kindergarten graduation today. The kids have one last day of school tomorrow. Which means one last school night. Maybe for a long… Continue reading One Last School Night…
I've been kind of quiet from blogging lately. This has partly been because I'm working like crazy but mostly because I've been trying to soak up every moment I can with my son. Because... We are homeschoolers no more!!! In July my son started talking about being lonely and missing his time at the local… Continue reading Big changes in our family!!

I have worked with kids- especially birth- 2nd grade- since I was 12. I worked in a Montessori preschool for 6… Continue reading Montessori Mondays: School Days
We are almost completely out of diapers! This is a very strange phase for me to come to- I sell cloth diapers for a living... Cloth diaper people actually kind of like diapers- what with all the cute patterns, different styles and ease of use. We are pretty much down to diapers at night (although… Continue reading Montessori Mondays: Potty Time!
Before I was a parent I heard about Attachment Parenting and thought it was crazy. Then I got pregnant and started learning more about it and thought it still sounded a but too extreme for me. And then I held my precious baby in my arms and 25 months later we are DEFINITELY an Attachment… Continue reading Montessori Mondays: You’re Montessori and AP?!?!
