I was going to do one of those catch up posts, but am still too busy! I think it’ll be easier to tackle little projects I’ve been working. Basically Tuesday was sick, then the in-laws were here, and Thanksgiving and shopping, and trying to finish an advent, and well now all the sudden it’s almost …

Lesson Plan—Faces
I touched on our schedule here, and part of that includes a “school time”. I named it this mostly for Tuesday, as we are an always learning kind of family (I like to think). We have been starting with a story, sitting on pillows, and then really she can do what ever activities she likes. …
Nature Exchange
Tuesday and I have been having fun collecting for the nature exchange we are participating in. This little bundle of wonderful nature bits is going to Russia. I printed out a picture like this and labeled where we found everything (again with in two block of our house). I figured it would be nice to …
Crafting for me
Scrapbooking is totally crafting for me. I don’t know who is going to want my scrapbooks down the road, but I know I love looking at them, a lot. I love all the memories, all of the details and the fun products. Just the chance to get crafty is so fun. From the tiny bit …
Tuesday Time
We basically live on Tuesday time around here. Especially in the evenings. I’ve attempted to get on a schedule with her before, and I’ve heard how much kids secretly love that and blah, blah, blah. But it has never worked for us. The closest thing to a schedule has been the last almost two years …
More in the kitchen—the spice
Bj and I have a tiny little kitchen, but we have it set up to work for us. The old ironing board was turned into a spice rack when I first moved in, and I didn’t think I’d run out of space. But then I started canning (queue things like dill seed into the mix) …
Autumn
All from a two block radius around our house. It is chilly. I want the heat on all the time… and blankies. I’m working super hard to get a rhythm down as we head into long cold nights and short rainy days. I’ve decided to try and get a bit of schedule together for myself, …
This Moment
Joining in on Amanda’s this moment project. A moment from the last week. A slice of life.
Sensory Bin—Farm Living
I’ve been a big fan of sensory bins for a while now (see my preschool pinterest board), but the closest thing we’ve gotten to them was our big vat of beans last year. I took that out of rotation after a while, because it wasn’t holding interest. Well when I found these awesome supposed to …
Halloween (SUGAR!!!!)
This was Tuesday’s first real Halloween. I mean she got it. When I told her earlier in the week that we would go around knock on people’s doors and they would give her candy she said, “WHAT?” It was awesome. We did a fun craft yesterday I wanted to mention. I cut out pumpkins and …
