What to do with my 1 1/2 year old
Well I guess it's about time I get started planning some montessori activies to do with my little one. I'll be doing some research and posting some of the things on my list here. I worked with starr when she was about this age but at the time I've never really knew much about montessori. Still what ever I did with her must have work because she is doing really well in school! She is reading at alevel 3 grades above her level !!! That is so cool. I was really worried about her going to school I was torn on what to do ( homeschool or "real" school ) in the end I think I made the right choice. Still I know things might change and we might end up homeschooling in the later years for right now this is what works and she is LOVEING it !

perfect snow !
We had and awsome snow on Saturday. The streets were clear but there was just the right amount of snow to have FUN ! It's was nice wet snow, the kinda snow that is great for snowballs ( the kind that could balck your eye ) and perfect for a snow man. Now I'm not one of those super orgainzed moms who has a little snowman kit or even thougth to buy a carrot when I saw snow in the forcast. Still I help out my little one with my ingenuity. We used and old pom pom for hair secured with a bobby pin. The beautiful facial features were crafted with bottons ( making memories from my scrapbooking days ) and bobbiy pins the I stuck through the holes.
Turned out kinda cute.

up up and away
It's always so difficult to take photos of my own children. I do manage to get them done but they are never what I really wanted to accomplish. Here is an idea I had in my head for a while. I'm glad I got it done but I do wish I would put a little more effort into it. The stress of dealing with MY kids and the camera tends to get to me. Lucky I had a good friend help me take this.

Candy love / following a recipie
Making and following a recipe that is what this fun and easy project was all about.
I set up the work area ( kitchen table ) with lots of fun stuff to put on our pretzels.
White chocolate ( my fave ), Dark Chocolate , Milk Chocolate, crushed whoppers , broken up Reese's pieces, caramels,and m&m's. She got to write down different combinations of the candies and chocolates and then create them.
Starr got to look at the ingredients and create her own recipes.
This one was creatively named Candy Love
Candy love: pretzel, white chocolate , milk chocolate , Whoppers , and Reese's pieces.
When finished we put them in decorative bags and left them on the neighbors door steps.
