Life’s gotten crazy lately; I know I don’t have to tell you that. With everyone stuck at home lately corona-quarantining, how about we take a virtual field trip together? Recently, we were very privileged to meet a local artist who keeps sheep for wool and weaves beautiful textiles. What a fantastic opportunity to learn about…
When our ancient fridge (talking the 1980s) recently died, we got a beautiful stainless steel upgrade that features an easy-access drawer in the center. Inside there are three refrigerated compartments were I keep the kids’ breakfast / anytime snacks, lunches and after school snacks (treats).

Wanted to share my youngest, who’s in preschool, accomplishing some great practical life work: caring for our environment by polishing plant leaves. He was concentrating so avidly; this is clearly a great work for developing attention to detail and fine motor. I set up the tray (green for our plants) with a little pitcher to…
