The End of 31 Days

10/31/2014

Just the Beginning
I can’t believe October is almost over! How did that happen so quickly?

I started the month with fifteen or so post ideas based on my topic Learning with Little Ones and now, on the last day of October I can think of at least a dozen more ideas I want to share.

Admittedly my topic was pretty broad and as a mom of six, my days are FILLED with teaching little ones all sorts of things, but I really thought I’d run out of things to say. Thankfully, for the sake of completing the challenge (and having anything left to blog about), I did not.

You can see all the topics I covered on our 31 Days of Learning with Little Ones page. There’s a little bit of everything there; academics, free printables, life skills, and faith lessons. Obviously, I wasn’t too organized and just shot from the hip most nights when I sat down to blog.

I’d love to continue exploring how we teach our children as well as sharing in general what works for us in our home.

What are a few things you’re trying to teach your children right now?

While I enjoy blogging to get my thoughts together, it’s the interaction with others that keeps me coming back to this little space.

So, is there anything you’d like to know or any topic you’d like me to share about?

Please, tell me in a comment below.

If I can give you any help, ideas, tips, or simply show you what has (or hasn’t) worked for our family, I’d love to!

Thanks for joining with me on this journey.

    October definitely flew, and I wasn’t able to keep up with blogs as much as I’d hoped (but that’s what November’s for!!) I’m at the beginning of teaching little ones – my son is 19 months old and just starting to explore books and develop his language skills. Hopefully as he gets older, I’ll be able to enjoy a few of your printables and suggestions!

    October definitely didn’t feel as long as I was expecting when I began the 31 Days challenge. Congratulations on sticking it through! I did as well! I’m a teenager, so I don’t really have any advice on teaching little ones, but I do understand about loving the interaction through our blogs. That’s one of the things I love about it the most!

    Looking forward to catching up with your posts now that I won’t be writing so often and can actually read. Hope your kiddos have a great and spooky Halloween!

    October did fly by, and KUDOS to you for keeping up the pace! Even though my days of raising little ones is long over, I find posts by Moms of littles very helpful. They give me insight to encourage and assist my kids’ efforts with their own little ones, and give me plenty of ideas for the times I get to spend with my grandchildren. Thank you for taking your precious time and sharing with your readers!!

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?
Great things never come from comfort zones. This i Great things never come from comfort zones. This is true for our kids and for us as parents watching them explore and trying to still breathe. This first shot definitely got me out of my comfort zone!

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.
