Puppet shows in our homemade puppet theatre

Organizing my spices using dollar store jars and a dry erase marker

Sleeping

Swinging in her Ikea swing

Trying chocolate beet cake. She saw the sprinkles in the store and really wanted to try them. She ended up not liking them on the cake much and picking most of them off later.

Tuesday seems to be library day, as the local library has a preschool story time. Afterwards, Meredith came up to me with this book and said: “Look Mama, it’s a book about me!” (She calls herself Mimi.) I hadn’t even realized she would recognize a lowercase “m”, let alone pick her name out of a bunch of books on a shelf.

We’ve finally started getting outside a lot more again too. The weather has been gorgeous! More about that later though.

  • I have the same spice jars (the clear ones) and use a perm. marker to write on them. :)

    Love the swing (we’d have no room for that.)

    And your sleeping beauty is just that. xo

  • Visiting from Natural Parents Network!

    Your pictures are beautiful. That swing looks great, too. And how exciting for her to recognize Mimi on a book!!

  • I love all your pictures! I might have to steal that spice idea. I’d love to have them all neatly organized and in the same size containers. The sleeping picture is precious! Isn’t it funny how kids learn letters when you don’t even realize it? Mine’s been surprising me with lowercase recognition, too!

    I love how we have our spices now. They’re in a drawer, and we can easily see what’s in what. My only complaint is the dry erase marker comes off if you’re not careful. We do use permanent for some of them, but a lot of them are ones we don’t always have. Kris suggested trying a wax pencil, which would still come off but not quite so easily.

“It is as true now as it was then that no matter what tests show, very little of what is taught in school is learned, very little of what is learned is remembered, and very little of what is remembered is used. The things we learn, remember, and use are the things we seek out or meet in the daily, serious, nonschool parts of our lives.”
