Question for you guys - do your kids put away their own laundry? I recently mentioned in my post on our Kids' Responsibility & Money Management Kit that my 4 and 5 year old get themselves dressed, brush their own teeth and make their own breakfast each morning and have been doing so for over a year. That alone created a bit of a stir on facebook and I didn't even mention that they also put away all of their own clothes - woo hoo! (Now you know how I actually survive being a mama of 3 kids, 5 months
SearchDo you want to add more fun to your homeschool day, but you're worried about crossing off all of those homeschool 'must-do' boxes?Your homeschool vision didn't include workbooks, power struggles, and tears. You thought it would feel, well, easier. You thought it would be -gasp!-fun. You imagined hands-on learning and engaged, happy kids. You wanted to make memories together.

These back to school organization ideas make the perfectionist in me so happy! I'm not a very organized person, so I can promise you that if you open my mudroom door right now, you won't see perfectly lined up shoes with hooks for jackets and names centered perfectly over top. I'd love to be that organized, but then I come back to reality and remember that I have three messy kids. Even still, somehow, seeing other people's organizing ideas makes me drool a little and hope that maybe one day my kids will put their shoes away neatly, fold their own laundry
My son, Matteo, is an artist. He loves to draw, he loves to paint, he loves to make things with his hands. This week, as we have been moving things around the house in preparation for the holidays, I decided to set aside an area to honor his desire to create, thus creating The Atelier :)... Over the Thanksgiving holidays, I brought home an old rustic cabinet that I had been keeping at my parents house. I have so many fond memories from this bookcase as it was one of the first pieces of furniture I had purchased for my first apartment. A friend and I had gone thrifting in a seedy part of Chicago and this little gem seemed to be calling out to me to take it home. As my career moved me from city to city, this bookcase held all my treasured books. Now, that I believe that I am in the home I will stay in for the rest of my life... my beloved bookshelf is home as well. Though now instead of holding books, it is home to the tools that my son uses to express his imagination. I hung a few of our playsilks above the work table, a rainbow of colors to provide inspiration We've always felt that Matteo would let us know when it was time for him to learn his letters and he has shown interest in learning to write his name. I love these beautiful cards which make the alphabet seem like art. I have to admit that part of the impetus to create the Atelier were these incredible natural crayon caddies handmade by my lovely, creative friend Nicola. She was so incredibly generous in gifting all three of my boys with a set! I decided to use one with the wonderful colored pencils she gifted us with, one with colored markers that Matteo enjoys, and the last one with these twig crayons we had. I love that Matteo has such a strong love of art and creating and I hope that it is a passion that stays with him for the rest of his life. For now I will rejoice and revel in the beauty that is his childhood and the art that is his gift. Yours in the love of childhood creation, Marina *Nicola is doing a giveaway for one of her amazing natural crayon caddies on her wonderful blog this week! Please do take a moment to check it out!*
