Free Play for kids is the best. Mix toys with cardboard boxes, kitchen bowls, old fabric, safe wood planks. Use natural items as playthings too!
Leave items for children to create.
They will amaze you.

Learning to be a good example to our children is a daily practice for me.
I am passionate. (read fiesty) and have to learn to control my temper.
I am practicing saying I am sorry to my children more.
I want them to glean the good from me. My best bits.
Do you have to learn this lesson too?
Parenting is like hanging from a learning curve for dear life some days.

I try and play music around the house- creating a rich sensory environment.
This week it is John Prine, 10,000 Maniacs, and The Killers. Random.
I love that my son Finn calls Bob Dylan his best music. Swoon!

Make a place just for kiddos in yr home. You don’t need a lot of room. Hang felt boards and chalkboards at kiddo level and arrange a little reading nook. Even children need rooms of their own. xo
We are going apple picking this year and I am so excited. Any good apple recipes? Learning activities? here
