our journey
« Previous EntriesYummy Lacy Oatmeal Cookies!
Monday, March 1st, 2010I was on a baking kick for the previous few days and the girls were begging me to make something of their own. So I pulled out the best recipe book in the world AKA the Net and found this simple recipe for them to do.
They are super light and crispy-thin. You drop them onto [...]
Has Spring Sprung?
Saturday, February 27th, 2010The weather has been steadily in the above-freezing range for about a week. Cautiously, we ventured outside to be met with a wonderfully sunny day and a temperature of +8.
I relished the clean sidewalks and prayed that this wasn’t some sick twisted joke that Mother Nature is playing on us. I can see good ‘ol [...]
A Kid, A Camera, A Mom Who Isn’t Looking
Monday, February 15th, 2010I had to laugh when I saw this post earlier-on today since I had just loaded the pictures from my small point and shoot camera not even 20 minutes earlier to find these:
…must be some sort of unschooling right of passage…
Then later on, as I was doing some work on my other site, [...]
An Update on the Girls!
Sunday, February 7th, 2010Dawn and Emily have been busy crafting, colouring, gluing and playing! It’s so nice to see them play together…it makes me glad that I had them close together. With 15 months only between them, they are becoming great playmates to one another!
Emily now knows most of her letters and she’s been starting to work on [...]
Resourcefulness
Thursday, January 21st, 2010It still amazes me how these young minds can take an obstacle and come to a solution to overcome it. A friend dropped off 2 40-lb boxes of kitty litter for me and I told him to leave them at the entrance, I’d move them later. Seeing a task ahead of them, Dawn took one [...]
Girls will be girls!
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009My two little ones have been keeping me on my feet! Today was certainly no exception! After we spent some time painting together, they decided they each wanted a bath.
…then after Dawn safely got out of the tub, I felt the need to grab a nap. I woke up to this:
Yup! Things are as active [...]
A Photo Update…
Sunday, November 15th, 2009We’ve been quite busy over the last couple of weeks with everyday life! Dawn had her birthday party and had a blast! We’ve also been out to park days and just exploring life at all it’s glory.
The Life and Trials of an Adult Unschooler
Friday, October 16th, 2009After my return from the library with my two daughters and a backpack full of books, I realized that in my own journey, I’m no different different from them.
I have two other blogs that have just taken off: Laura’s Cool Stuff and Personal Development for Lazy People, and need to learn new marketing techniques to [...]
The Girls are Learning to Read!
Sunday, October 11th, 2009It’s so rewarding to see when all your work (or non-work) pays off. Both Dawn and Emily are finally actively grasping the concept of reading.
The girls were sitting in the bed this morning and I found Dawn spelling out letters of a word (in an opposites board book), then saying the word. Too easy you say? Maybe, [...]
THE Scissors…
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009What I find most endearing, and completely frustrating about children, is that despite our efforts to warn them about the perils and consequences of certain actions, they still HAVE to try said-action.
By now, you already know what I’m talking about. One glance at the photo in this post says it all…yes people, we had *THE* [...]
