I, am not. When I just can’t keep my eyes open at 5:30 am, I resign myself to turning a movie on for […]
Learning with Stickers and Their Scraps: Fine Motor Practice
Some craft supplies get used up very quickly at my house. Stickers are definitely in that category. They mostly end up somewhere on my clothing, only to be discovered later by a stranger, in public. My house is littered with the remnants of stickers-long-past. As part of the Learning with Your Craft Stash challenge, my […]
The Attachment Parenting Ideal that I Just Couldn’t Swing
When I was pregnant with our first born, I was super excited about the tenants of attachment parenting. I loved how normal and instinctive everything was. It just made sense to me. There’s really nothing complicated about it, just going back to our roots and doing things naturally, the way our maternal instincts crave. But […]
Why We Chose NOT to Give Birth in a Hospital OR at Home
If you’ve been following this blog for any length of time, you’ll know I’m a bit “crunchy”. But I haven’t always been into doing things naturally.

Tactile and Kinetic Letter Formation with Pipe Cleaners
Sometimes learning is approached on such a one dimensional level. Teachers speak information and kids are supposed to regurgitate that knowledge on to paper. Problem is, that doesn’t always translate into kids grasping concepts. My boys are just getting started in the world of “formal” education. But I’ve already seen a huge difference in […]
Get Rid of Nasty Sink Grime in 30 Seconds with ONE Cheap Natural Ingredient
I won’t be known for my housekeeping skills. I’m far better at tidying and organizing than actual cleaning. One of my least favorite chores used to be cleaning the sink. We make most of our toiletries products and one of the common ingredients in coconut oil. While it’s awesome for your body, it makes our sinks extra […]
Number Recognition Sensory Bin
My boys are all about hands-on learning. When I introduce a subject in a way that they can touch, feel and interact with, there’s a much better chance that they’ll retain the knowledge I’m trying to impart. This activity was a simple way to practice number recognition. I just combined it with a simple sensory bin. […]
