Fall has always been my favorite season. When I was young, I used to look forward to the start of school, not necessarily because I was an overachieving bookworm (though full confession - I was), but because it meant that soon the days would get cooler, the leaves would change colors, and the cozy half of… Continue reading DIY Autumn Leaves Decoration

Autumn Celebratory Applesauce
Look Ma! We made applesauce! I cannot believe it’s already October! I know we’ve been in a pandemic for most of the year, but 2020 has flown by. Little Miss has started förskola already and while it pulls on my heartstrings a little every morning when I drop her off, I don’t know how I… Continue reading Autumn Celebratory Applesauce
DIY Pull-Through Toy, or How I learned to Stop Obsessing and Follow My Child
What do you think? About a week ago I finished listening to Janet Lansbury’s Elevating Child Care: A guide to respectful parenting on audiobook. Lansbury is a mother and teacher who follows the principles of Resources for Infant Educarers (no, that’s not a typo), or RIE, and her book is an engaging guide to raising… Continue reading DIY Pull-Through Toy, or How I learned to Stop Obsessing and Follow My Child

Cleaning Oil with Oil
Double double toil and trouble... Have y'all heard of the oil cleansing method? It wouldn't surprise me if you have, here in 2020. It's certainly not new. I've been using it for over 6 years now, and I don't think it was necessarily new back then. The oil cleansing method, or OCM as it's known… Continue reading Cleaning Oil with Oil
Glory Days #2: A Garden Update
The windowsill sure looks different than it did a few weeks ago... The post this week is going to be a little free-form. I’ve got a folder of blog post ideas that I’ve been working from, but as I’ve been working on them, I have been continuously distracted by the green glory that is happening… Continue reading Glory Days #2: A Garden Update
It’s Bananas! Banana bread for the allergy-prone
Fun fact about me...I am allergic to bananas. At least raw bananas. I have been ever since I was a baby. At the time, banana was considered THE quintessential first food for baby. So of course my mom fed it to me when I was old enough to start solids...only to be horrified a half… Continue reading It’s Bananas! Banana bread for the allergy-prone
DIY Baby Maracas
Yesterday's trash becomes today's toys! Darling Daughter turned 10 months old last week. Although I do not often post specifics about her, our daughter is, of course, the most important part of our life, and especially now that we are self-quarantining, she and I have been pretty much together 24/7. One of my favorite past… Continue reading DIY Baby Maracas
