 It was a simple thing. Meredith wanted to make popsicles. I was doing dishes while trying to juggle a tired baby, and was a bit crabby myself. I pointed out that we don’t have juice, so we couldn’t make popsicles. “But Mama, look, we have milk,” she pointed out, using her three-year-old logic and [...]  I was a little bit worried we would have trouble finding things to do in Cowichan, so I decided to put together a list. Turns out, I was wrong. There are tons of cool sounding things to do! Some of these may not be age-appropriate right now, and I’m sure there’s a lot of [...]  A few weeks ago our desktop PC died. We knew it was coming. It was old and had been giving us problems for a while. So thankfully we had been budgeting and putting money aside to buy a new one this month anyway. Also luckily, it wasn’t the hard drives that went so we [...]  Math seems to be a sticking point for a lot of people who are just starting unschooling, or against it altogether, so I thought I’d share this story that happened last night. Meredith and I were walking into the grocery store together, and I asked her if she wanted a treat. She told me [...]  I used to read another blog that did something similar to this every month or so, though I don’t remember whose it was. Every month there are always posts someone else writes that are particularly funny or thoughtful or that just say something that I could say in better words than I ever would. [...]  A few moms in our co-op organized a Luminara Lantern Festival for the kids this year. Luminara has been a yearly thing here in Victoria since 2000, but I’d never heard of it until last year, and this year was the first time we’d done anything for it. Luminara began in 2000, [...]  Yesterday afternoon Meredith was trailing a bit behind the rest of the group, drawing things in the ground with her stick. I called to her, and she yelled back for me to come see what she was doing. I went back to her, and she told me she was writing “Mimi” (her nickname). Then [...]  This is another belated birthday post. I know that at her age, often any parties done are more for the parents than the kids. I wanted to do something for her that she would have fun with, even if she doesn’t remember. We had gone to Swan Lake earlier in the summer to look [...]  Over the weekend, Meredith suddenly very excitedly started chattering about her “mama apple” and wanting to see it. It took me a minute to realize she meant our mummified apple project. It had been less than a week so I wasn’t confident anything would have happened, but I didn’t want to dampen her [...] |
