What is it like feeding all these eaters? First of all they are picky. Multiply that times four and we have quite a bunch. After being a vegetarian for 2o years we now eat more of a paleo diet. We wanted to cut carbs, non-nutritious fillers and processed foods. There is still a lot of organic, processed […]

Fairy House Building
I get these Waldrof inspired ideas in my head from time to time, as if we are living inside the page of a beautiful book featuring perfectly frolicking children in a sea of playsilks and fairy houses. But the real life excitement for such things waxs and wains. We spend a lot time outside and my […]

Aligning life through yoga
Alignment based yoga has been the foundation of my practice since I stepped into my first yoga studio in 2002. It was a full fledged Iyengar studio in Atlanta where all the teachers traveled to the Iyengar Yoga Institute in India to study with B.K.S Iyengar. These days I post about doing yoga with my […]

Yoga play at home
As a Father’s Day gift we had photos taken for my husband that he can hang on his office walls. He has a constant request for more pictures in his office of his girls. It’s really sweet. It means he really loves us. Megan from Break the Mold photo came to our house to do […]

My inspiration came from an online discussion and question about how we play, versus how we just do lessons at home. Honestly this is how we play. By striving to do everyday things with purpose and joy. The photo […]

The power of a lesson shelf
This is our current lesson shelf. This space is designated for lessons that my daughter must be invited to choose. We choose lessons in the morning, when my older daughters are at school. We have adapted it as our “morning work time” after we have breakfast and get ready for the day. And without much effort […]

Four Kids Will Travel
We were long overdue for an airplane trip. Let’s face it. It’s expensive to fly with a family of six. We will be squeaking in one more trip before baby girl turns two and we have to officially buy six seats. But still, buying five seats is a lot. My husband I always said we […]

Spring Break
In honor of spring break week I’m offering some inspiration to get outside, with no agenda and no expectations with your child. Be in the moment. Put your toes in the sandbox or in the mud and stay awhile. Lay in the grass and stare at the clouds. Watch your child climb a tree higher […]

Toddler art lessons, updates and a field trip
I made a commitment to write a Montessori Monday post weekly. It’s good to hold myself accountable to a deadline. This time I’m a day late. Yesterday I shared about our weekend shenanigans and natural fun at our home. This week’s Montessori Monday (ah err Tuesday) post piggybacks off that. While a few children were creating in our basement […]
