Play Theme Cheat Sheet #6: Fall Fun!
It's fall! My absolute favorite season. So, of course, I had to make it into a Play Theme Cheat Sheet. And really - cool weather, gorgeous leaves, pumpkins galore - what's not to love? I have always wanted to take my little family apple picking in the fall. (I've never actually been. Sad, right?) But since apple farms are few and far between where I live, I decided to bring apple picking to us–with a little educational value built in. We've been working on our numbers at home, so I thought … [Read more...]

Midweek Musing: How’s Your Summer Schedule?
Sometimes it feels like despite my best efforts to have an easy, laid back summer - it just doesn't quite go down that way. Yes, granted, with a big house move this summer is atypically crazy for us.

This summer C will be participating in soccer, swim class, and LEGO camp, while S will be doing soccer and swim. I'm … [Read more...]
