It was a busy weekend with lots of play. Swimming at the indoor pool with these guys turned into a sleepover that nearly doubled the amount of girls in our house. While the oldest girls were dancing upstairs, we had a crafting palazzo in the basement. You know you are meant to be a girl […]

Toddler eating, sleeping and work by older children
I sewed these placemats for baby girl this week. It’s the start of more practical life lessons around eating. There is so much that can be taught here! When my third daughter started Montessori school part-time she was 15 months old. For lunch the children sat at a long weaning table with embroidered place settings. They ate […]

Music and puzzle lesson shelves, plus a Polar Bear report
It’s Montessori Mondays, week two. I’ve promised you readers a blog post each Monday about what Montessori life looks like with our girls. This is real stuff. I don’t have time to make things Pinterest perfect anymore. I’m getting the point across the best I can, to share what I’ve learned over the last 10 […]

Montessori Mondays
I’ve had a burst of Montessori happenings at my house recently since baby girl is needing more useful activities to channel her toddler energy in the right direction. She’ll be 18 months old on Valentine’s Day. She’s trying to do everything herself now, even showing attempts to dress herself. I’m following her lead and she’s testing […]

Whole 30 who me?
A few months ago I thought all you people cutting out chocolate and wine and sugar and gluten and grains and legumes and cheese…..were nuts. So what do you eat? Now I’m finding out the answer by expereince. I really can’t say what made me do it. A friend invited me to a Whole 30 […]

Fragmented practice pays off
Since baby girl has turned into a toddler it’s really difficult to get solid yoga time in at home, with focus and purpose. It’s only minutes before I have to retrieve her from playing in the kitchen drawer of glass lunch containers, from yanking the poor old cat, from falling off furniture or from the dog’s water […]

Hello 2017
Hello 2017! I’m ready for you. This is a better late then never post. It might have typos. But it’s better then not doing it all. I have less time now and I have to do things quicker or the necessities of the day pile up or get forgotten. I’m doing the best I can. […]

End of the summer party
Summer in East Tennessee seems to be lingering. I’m not complaining. I like fall. But my baby girl was a summertime baby and I’m lingering in her birth season before ALL my other babies celebrate fall birthdays. I do love a kid party. And with my kids plus my three best friends’ kids, it’s easy […]

Baby girl turned ONE
Welcome September. My baby girl’s birthday month is over. She was officially one on August 14th and we celebrated with gusto. Her party happened on the day of her birthday and I knew I needed to stay insanely busy or I would get sad at the too fast passing of her baby days. I could say […]

Lovely messes live here
Summer is kicking my butt, plain and simple. I’m not one to post pictures of my messy house and be proud of it. Clutter makes me insane. I’m practicing lots of patience and peace with myself this summer to over look it all, and choose to be in the moment. I don’t love the mess […]
