Look for a new layers of the Earth puzzle to hit the Etsy shop soon. I also plan on a “soft relaunch” and redesign of several products including the clock of eras and taxonomy classification puzzles. When? Soon very soon. I’m also currently learning Illustrator, so I can better bring my ideas to life via…
When I was a kid, I spent most of my free time drawing. Actually, I spent most of my class time doodling too. So I’m not surprised that my middle daughter (10) has an artistic streak. Girl loves to draw, so I am following my dear child and preparing our environment to help that avocation…
2020 has been a whirlwind of a year! Even though we’ve been strictly quarantined since March quite a lot happened around here. We’ve celebrated multiple birthdays — including the birth of our newest daughter Rose. Back in September, I did a couple talks for the Montessori Homeschooling Summit, while in prodromal labor no less. If…
If you are on the hunt for a quality, educational toy company, we found one! Actually they found us: Tieramid was kind enough to ask us to review their products, and we happily accepted.

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…
First of all, to anyone who participated in the 2020 Montessori Homeschool Summit, a giant THANK YOU! It feels like a smash success and I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback which makes me overjoyed. Speaking at the online event pushed me out of my comfort zone, so I deeply appreciate all the kind words of…
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,…
