Long Overdue Update and…
Skye’s eyes and Homeschool: Last week we learned that one of Skye’s eyes is still a bit wonky even after having eye surgery last year. His eye is much better but will turn in just a bit when his glasses are off. He will need patching to correct it. For five days we’ve got to … Continue reading »
Wordless Wednesday: Spring #6
Reblogged from september: This time last year… It is nice to remember our wee ones a year ago- having fun together, independent, interested in school time and so small- so cute. I’m left feeling grateful, amazed, hopeful…inspired to press on. mama~
Resourceful Homeschooling: Used Books, Loved Books!
I found a few old books at thrift stores and garage sales and I love them so much that I thought that I would share them with you. All of these books are perfect for our wee homeschool. They are quite good, excellent actually and I consider them treasures that were found in dusty piles of … Continue reading »
Feels like Fall…
Funk I am just coming out of a sort of homeschool-mom-funk. Its no ones fault but mine. It started in the winter…I am not exactly sure when this mama slipped off of her homeschool mama desk chair and all real planning and homeschooling fell away from our days here but I am sure that it ended this weekend. A blast … Continue reading »
A penguin and his wool: yarnalong
This week I am Knitting this little Wool Soaker for a new friend to review. Now I must say that I’ve knit many (Soakers that is) and this pattern is my favorite. I use them on our two year old and I sell them and other pretty things here (proceeds support our homeschool fund) I am reading … Continue reading »

10 Days: A Gluten Free Meal plan
We made a plan and went grocery shopping, hubby and I did— just today. I’ve gone and run out of spelt flour and I did not wish to go to more than one shop so, rather than spelt bread, I’ll try using Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-free All-purpose Flour for all my baking needs this go … Continue reading »
wahm and yarn love…
A while ago I opened an Etsy shop. And then promptly closed it after deciding that I would see my goodies here. I use whatever money from it to help supplement our little Montessori homeschool budget. If you know Montessori, then you know that the materials can be pricey. I make a lot of items, and … Continue reading »
Meal plans and the problem with gluten free-ishness
That title should probably be the other way round. Even though I’ve not taken us completely off gluten but instead, am testing the sensitive bellies in our house with Spelt flour, meal planning this way (and searching for real food at the same time) has been a little tough for me. I do like baking with … Continue reading »
“Never give to the mind more than you give to the hand.”- Maria Montessori
This concept is hard for me. I have always tended to want to jump ahead myself, so when planning school for the kids I am guilty of the same. I feel on the brink of failure much of them time here and very pleased when the unexpected happens- Like when I actually relax a bit and Follow The Child! Lol. Weeks ago … Continue reading »
Yarnalong: Wool and Hunger
Years ago I spent some time in Kolkata, India. We always stayed at the Salvation Army Guest House when in town. There we had proper Indian tea bought on the street and mingled in the crowds of way-farers and hippies that stayed there. On our time off I watched old Indian soap operas with the men … Continue reading »
Wordless Wednesday: Winter #1
Homeschool wrap-up: two-days on three-days off.
Our first school-week was short and our first ”weekend” was long because, as I’ve said here before, we (usually) do not have school on dad’s days off. For our first week (okay, two days!) back to school in some time it went pretty well. I think it is much harder on me than the kids, lol. Here is … Continue reading »
Meal Planning here
I’ve shared about my reasons and plans for gluten-free meals here before but when it comes down to it, I am sad to admit, that I always go back to what I know and what is quick and easy. Although most of our little family can tolerate gluten just fine I’ve noticed that baby Day’s tummy seems to … Continue reading »
beloved baby carrier anyone?
Okay, so I will start this by saying that- this is not a sponsored giveaway. This is my beloved baby carrier, if one can have a beloved baby carrier. Oh, I can! It is a Babyhawk Mei Tai. This one has just been wonderful to tug baby around in. It’s been everywhere. It enjoys … Continue reading »
2012 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 8,600 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 14 years to get … Continue reading »
a list for the new year: 2013
It is that time of year again when we start to think about the New Year. For me there is a list of things that I had meant to get accomplished in 2012 and there is a new list being written in my mind of all those things that I would like to get accomplished … Continue reading »
SAHM to WAHM #thehomeschoolfund
Skye will move into lower elementary soon and this homeschool mama is not at all prepared. Montessori materials can be expensive and even when purchasing them used or on sale can still be tough on our families budget. Besides all his math materials (that I really should have had this year) I will need all … Continue reading »
