gift ideas for my 3 year old boy

{This post contains affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.}  Now that Thanksgiving is over, I am happy to share three gift lists this season!  Boy, Girl, and Montessori lists.   My son’s Christmas wishlist has been compiled in my head for some time {though he certainly won’t be getting everything on this list!}. There are three…

a cardboard box is fun

Sometimes, all the kid needs is a cardboard box. Check out my cardboard box Pinterest page for a lot {more creative} ways to use a cardboard box for children.  I just couldn’t believe how long it took to duct-tape (notice the neon green?) the sides of this.  I don’t have enough patience to Exacto-knife a…

organizing the mad chaos of toys {a montessori set-up}

{This post may contain affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.}  Too many toys.  That is what my husband tells me {every day}.  I tend to agree with him, however,  I believe in quiet times and independent play!   (Almost) all of our toys are from garage sales, so I’m not spending a lot of money on their…

Best baby toys (12 to 18 months)

{This post contains affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.}  It seems that my son can make anything and everything into a toy. He has way too many toys. But I justify all this mayhem because most of them are hand-me-downs or garage sale finds. (I am a garage-sale/mom-to-mom sale maniac.) But there are many toys…

Best baby toys (3 to 6 months)

{This post contains affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.}  I have always wanted “our house” to stay ours and not become “the baby’s house.” I still agree with this sentiment, but am slowly beginning to realize that as our four month old begins to develop his senses and his motor skills, he needs fun things…

Happy Monday friends! I'm so excited to share a copy of this lovely book with one of you.
Art is not something I’m familiar with. Growing up, I thrived in theater and music, but never art. Unfortunately, I always felt like “I wasn’t good” or “that’s not my thing.” I’m sad about this! Since homeschooling my children, I’ve come to realize that I’m indeed a wonderful artist!! I can draw plants and bumblebees and even an octopus! I just need a bit of time, good materials, and a good teacher.
