31 Days of Learning with Little Ones

For the month of October I’m joining hundreds of other bloggers as we accept The Nester’s 31 Day Writing Challenge. This is my third year participating and I’m excited to share with you about something that is such a huge part of my life right now.

31 Days of Learning with Little Ones @ AllOurDays.com #write31days #learningwithlittles #homeschoolpreschool

Welcome to 31 Days of Learning with Little Ones aka Learning with Little Ones without Losing It. [tweetherder]Life is complicated enough already. Teaching little ones does not have to be.[/tweetherder]

If you’re new to my blog, here are some things I’d like you to know about me and my family:
  • My kids are 7, 6, 4, 3, 14 months, and 6 weeks.
  • I consider myself a parenting newbie, I still have a lot to learn.
  • We’re in our third official year of homeschooling, but learning happens everyday whether you homeschool or not.
  • I mess up every. single. day. on this parenting journey.
What to Expect:
  • a post every day for the month of October
  • simple ways to teach your kids
  • a mix of academic learning, life skills, and character/faith lessons
  • encouragement for parents in the thick of the little years
  • free printables to use with your children
  • some of our favorite early childhood resources
What NOT to Expect:
  • one stop, cookie cutter solutions (every child is a unique learner)
  • all the answers (remember, I’m still figuring out this parenting gig!)
  • complicated steps and time consuming processes
How This Series Will Benefit You:

Parenthood is not an isolated role, we’re made to raise our children while being in community.

  • Discover new ways you can incorporate learning into your normal daily life.

Yesterday the kids and I picked up a friend and walked a local nature loop. The almost 2 1/2 miles sped by with finding awesome sticks, climbing nursery stumps, scrambling into branches, and searching for the perfect beach stones.

Have you enjoyed being outside with your kids recently? Where did you go 🌲🏖 or what did you do 🏕🚵‍♀️🤸‍♂️💐?
Our snack today is inspired by the audio book the Our snack today is inspired by the audio book the kids and I have been listening to in the van. Ninga Detectives has been playing as we go back and forth to town to do laundry, buy groceries, and run other errands. Then a few days ago, the characters were eating a fancy dinner at a Russian tearoom in New York City and caviar was mentioned.
.
I remembered I saw some at Grocery Outlet a few weeks ago, so I ran in and picked some up. Add in some simple crackers and cream cheese and this is our morning snack.
.
It was really easy but my kids are so excited about it. Just a reminder to myself that adding enchantment doesn't need to be meticulously planned or require copious amount of extra work. Oh, and that snacks make all learning better!
.
How do you add excitement and connection with the books you're reading or listening to? Let me know in the comments! (Also, watch our stories today for more about our caviar snack connection.)
The blinds may be permanently crooked, the window The blinds may be permanently crooked, the window smudged, and the view not particularly epic, but this gift of another day, breathing, filled with purpose, and surrounded by my little people is more than enough to find joy in!

Joy isn't an illusive feeling only reserved for those whose lives are glamorous and easy. Instead of being controlled by outward circumstances, joy is a deep contentment of knowing we are radically loved by God and entrusted with the great honor of working alongside him for his good purpose!

Happy Monday, friends!

Praying your heart is filled with joy and your day filled with reminders of God's deep love for you!

How can you claim joy today?

We had an amazing scramble through a local river bed last week. (Scroll for more photos and a video of the amazing rock formations.) There were many reminders to "watch your step" and a few times I simply had to look away. As difficult as it is for me to watch them do risky things I know they will never learn how to do new things if they never take risks. We can help them think through problems and plan their steps but in the end they have to risk failing and try.
.
How do you feel when your kids do risky things? How do you encourage them to try new things? How have you stepped out of your comfort zone recently?

Last week we visited the Imagine Children's museum in Everett, WA. We all had a wonderful time. From a theater and dance screen to a water room and giant foam building blocks there is definitely something for everyone. Children's museums are such amazing places for kids to explore and problem solve through play.

Do you agree with the quote above? Tell me something your kids love to play.
