Have you ever struggled with what to do with all those piles and bins of your children’s art and school work? It can be tough to part with, yet none of us go back to those bins and admire the old creations. Let’s be honest; most of the time, we don’t even know where those bins are!
It is Fall, friends and the smell of baked apples is a great way to wake your family on a lazy Sunday morning. This a super simple apple oatmeal that I promise your whole family will enjoy!
The movable alphabet was one of Dr. Montessori’s original lessons. She discovered that children could actually learn to write before they could read! I know this sounds crazy. After your child has a solid foundation of the letter sounds with their experience with the sandpaper letters, they will be ready to work with the movable alphabet.
Who doesn’t love a hearty muffin in the fall for breakfast? This recipe comes straight from my Momma’s kitchen and is my daughter’s favorite. Personally, I love to freeze these, then grab when I need a quick breakfast and smother it with almond butter. Feel free to add or subtract ingredients that you like; you can’t mess these up!
This recipe comes straight from my own Momma and is absolutely yummo! This salad fills my craving for an old fashion tuna salad without the tuna!
All of us Mommas have had kids with pooping problems at one point or another. I am not a doctor or in the medical field, but I have had to deal with this issue with my own children through the years. Specifically, with one of my kids, and at times it was a serious problem!
But what I have found and seen in our own family 99% of the time is that the problems can be resolved by changing up/clearing up their diet. No, I’m not saying that everything can be fixed by food, but I am saying that you could save yourself a lot of money and frustration by starting with food. You might be surprised how many times it turns out to be a food and a few changes here or there can just really put things back into the right order.
The Summer has come to an end, and now is the time to use up all that beautiful basil while it is still good. I make huge batches of this and freeze them in small mason jars, so this fresh sauce is available all winter.
Some people love to organize photos and scrapbooks. I am not one of those people. I was consistent in making albums when the children were little, well, for the first two. By the time the third baby came, I was lucky to be wearing clean clothes each day, much less scrapbook or organizing pictures.
Why a sand tray? Well, Dr. Montessori loved for children to be able to feel the sounds and have concrete experiences with the letters. The sand tray helps with the development of both reading and writing and learning to copy.
