So... a funny thing happened last weekend. We found out we had to move this weekend. Yup... Not fun news!! I don't like moving, at all, we've lived 6 places in the 7 years we've been married and had hoped to stay here until we were able to buy our own place. Not gonna happen.… Continue reading Moving!…. Wait- what?!?!?
Changing of the Seasons
I haven't written in a while. To be honest I get depressed in the winter... I isolate myself and get blue when it's cold and snowy. Not to mention the fact that we've been super busy and my son has been battling sickness for about 2 months now! Ugh... I get in this cycle where… Continue reading Changing of the Seasons
Flax Seed Hair Gel
This worked great when J had his hair cut into a mowhawk (somehow we didn't get any pictures of that... I think we're going to need to do it again this summer). And has worked well on my super thick hair the couple of times I've tried it too. It's super easy- just use 2T… Continue reading Flax Seed Hair Gel
50 Reasons My Toddler Might Be Nursing (it’s not just for nutrition people!)
I read this post the other day titled "46 Reasons My Three Year Old Might Be Freaking Out"... I thought it was both hilarious and totally accurate and it got me thinking about toddlerhood. My son is 2 and 1/2. The "terrible twos" are about halfway over and so far they haven't really been that terrible. I've worked around… Continue reading 50 Reasons My Toddler Might Be Nursing (it’s not just for nutrition people!)
Montessori Mondays: Color time!
We have been working on learning and matching colors around here lately and I wanted to share some of it with you all. One of the activities we have been working on is so simple to create and was always a favorite in classrooms and my son loves it. I'll let the pictures do the… Continue reading Montessori Mondays: Color time!
No ‘Poo hair!
This post is not about poop... it's about shampoo- or lack thereof... I stopped using shampoo about 6 months ago and my hair feels healthier than it ever has plus I'm saving a TON of money. Shampoo and conditioner are not cheap... products that are safe for your family and the environment tend to be even more… Continue reading No ‘Poo hair!
Lenten Discipline
I love the season of Lent. Even though our current church does not do much to observe it I have always taken time to reflect and remember the sacrifice of Christ. Every year CRM puts out an awesome Lenten devotional which you can download here. This devotional always challenges me and brings my closer to… Continue reading Lenten Discipline
Introducing Savvy Saturdays/ Sundays!!!!
Hi blogging world!!! This is something I've been wanting to add for a while now but something about having a 2 year old and 2 jobs has meant I don't get to spend as much time blogging as I'd like to. However, I'm really going to try and keep up with it a but more… Continue reading Introducing Savvy Saturdays/ Sundays!!!!
Montessori Mondays: School Days
(note- if you want to see the practical ways of how we are doing a home preschool right now scroll on down, the following is my backstory) Sometimes I feel like a big hypocrite. 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
Montessori Mondays: Potty Time!
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!
