The other day the kiddos were out in the yard playing while I picked raspberries. Between snacking on the berries and helping with the harvest, they busily created a little bakery of cakes and jello using bottle caps, fallen berries, and various flowers and plants from the yard. The creations were so fun and adorable that I… Continue reading Simple Summer // Bottle Cap Bakery

Even though I realize a lot of Valentine’s Day is a consumeristic grab at our purse-strings, I think as parents we can recast this holiday to pull at heart-strings. We’ve… Continue reading Valentine’s Day with Littles
skip day snow
Because sometimes you just have to skip school and hang out with your siblings who learn at home. Especially on a gorgeous, uncharacteristically warm, January day. It’s so amazing what time outdoors can do to bring people together. The age span between 4 and 14 vanishes as they throw snowballs, scream together as they slide down the hills,… Continue reading skip day snow
