Laundry is a big chore and I’m a believer of sharing responsibilities at home. Yes I am a stay at home mom, but no I am not here to do everything for my girls. We are not strict on set chores, but children need to share the responsibilities at home simply because it’s the right […]

Work from school, at age five
We don’t have so many Montessori things at home to show as we used to when my youngest was a toddler. She is on to such big things now! At age five, she still loves practical life lessons, helping with laundry and cooking. But these days she so is super proud of her big work […]

Dinner: Pork chops, sweet potatoes, green beans and risotto

Checking for eggs!
I didn’t expect our chickens to lay eggs until Spring. They are five months old now. Days are shorter and last week we had a frigate snap where it didn’t get above freezing for several days. So I have not bothered to look for eggs this winter. I went out to check on the chickens because […]

Christmas is done. Welcome 2015
Hello! As you’re probably noticing, the site is getting a facelift for the new year. I’m still trying to figure out exactly how I want it to look and function. So bare with me a bit longer. I work on it when I can because I love it. But I don’t love it when it takes […]
