I took a sip of my morning mug of coffee and saw my hands were still stained with red. Red paint from yesterday. The day before, my two-year-old had happened upon the open Amazon package I’d left on the coffee table. I was in the kitchen dishing out dinner. Meanwhile, he unscrewed the lid from…
Boo! Getting close to Halloween. Did I spook you? Probably not. How about a treat then? Timberdoodle asked us to review Bunny Peek-a-Boo, a clever hide and seek activity, in exchange for this review. Spoiler: we loved it! What is it? A fun spatial orientation game for little ones. Pieces consist of just a couple…
Ah teething. Mark Twain summed it up well when he said, “Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principal one was that they escaped teething.” I tend to not pay a whole lot of attention to teeth. We do our due diligence attending regular six month cleanings, and even occasionally we make the kids floss,…
Talk about a favorite toy — we received Pixel Baby from Timberdoodle in exchange for our honest review — this activity is one of my toddler’s favorite activities. Will loves grasping the colorful pegs, removing and replacing them over and over again. He can easily place them on the board independently. Because Will is still…
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…
Did you know that I can read minds? It’s true. Let me try yours. You want to know how a review post about a ball could possibly persuade you to order this specific ball when you can find a ball any ole place. Right? No? Now let me let you in on a secret —…
We are trying something new. Will is 22 months old today, and we’ve been doing a little formal Montessori work here and there: practicing unrolling (and remembering) our work mat, sensitizing fingertips in warm water, grasping, spooning and pouring transfer work between bowls. He’s still really young for too much primary work, but I’m anxious,…
After this week I’m switching to a new format for these updates — I never want to sit down and write a post because it takes so long to 1) recall what we even did 2) find the pictures 3) write something up that makes sense. Also I have been told more than once that…
How’s Summer been treating everybody? Hotter than the face of the Sun here (well almost), and the pool is literally as warm as bathwater. I’ve been keeping the chickens cool with frequent water changes, and trying to tend to our little suburban plot early, early in the morning. The kids have had tons of camps…
