We like to do play activities here, naturally. The knack is to get the right balance for today, 2nd October 2009. This is different than just the right balance. Everyone talks about balancing their lives. Mostly I take them to mean they want equal amounts of time, effort and energy on each thing. I don’t see balance like that. There… View Post
Homemade Playdough
When I think of my childhood I think of playdough. That’s what we were making here in the Wordless Wednesday picture. We like to make batches of playdough.

Natural play
I love the change in seasons. Spring for its new growth but Autumn for its changes. This was one of those spontaneous activities that just happened and changed for us during the week.

Top tips for reading
Just like the New Year we all focus on starting the New School year with good habits. We will get them out of the house on time without loosing it. We will pack/help pack their backpacks to avoid the, ” Where’s my X?” wail in the morning 5 minutes before we’re out the door. We will pack nutritious lunch or… View Post
