If you were Italian, you might say to someone asking to borrow a possession, “Si chiama Pietro e torna indietro” or “Its name is Peter and it comes back.” Reading that in English is for sure a head scratcher. But in Italian it’s a clever play on rhyming words and commonly known idiom. My oldest…
How perfectly adorable are these little critters from the game Little Mémo! I wasn’t 100% sure of what to expect when Timberdoodle sent this toddler game, Little Mémo, to review. But I am pleased because it’s adorable and has been so engaging for my youngest son. William is 22-months-old, and we just introduced him officially…
I love words. When I was a kid I used to snuggle up with a thesaurus and memorize as many words as I could then use them in my school assignments to confuse my teachers. Ah middle school when you think you’re so clever… Anywho, my kids are not the same at all. They aren’t…
Second week of homeschooling is in the books. I’m not sure how that happened so fast. We’ve been focusing on our Great Lessons work (we are doing one per week the first five weeks, you can read more about them here). I figure our first five weeks back are kinda a jumpstart and transition period after…
Happy weekend friends! Our week was full of doctor appointments, therapies and other shenanigans. Somehow we managed to almost complete our weekly to-do list. Sensorial: I had great ambitions this week for completing our constructive triangle work and adding some tasting bottles to the shelf, but we just ran out of time for those this…
Epic to me aways! Because I finally finished! I literally cried when I stepped back and saw it was done. Of course I’m 7 months pregnant so everything sets me off crying, but that’s beside the point! I hope this unedited, super-unprofessional video series is informative, helpful and amusing! Real life 100% yall. I know…
Cause I’m having a good time… Oh man I love me some Montessori materials. EVEN when they’re a little wonky. I ordered a set of grammar symbols off of Amazon (I know but Prime). Not only did they not arrive in two days (gasp), but they arrived damaged. You can’t really tell because it’s just…
A couple months back, I scored a free (with postage) set of grammar stamps from one of the Montessori resell groups. The stamps had apparently seen a lot of use love over the years. I think they normally retail around $30 new from Alison’s, but I can’t resist a good bargain. Actually, a lot of people…
