Preschool @ Home

On Monday I started a 26 week lesson plan for preschool with Jacob. Day two and we are getting into a little routine. We start after lunch, we work for 3o min, then he takes a break has a little snack and the back to preschool for 30- 45 min. When Seamus does homework, Jacob and
I review what was done in preschool.

Here is a photo of Jacob's lesson board.

What's in your Childs Lunch Bag?

Seamus is in grade two this year and I found it really difficult last year to stay out of a School Lunch Rut with him. One day he got off the bus and said Please don't ever pack me a ham&Cheese sandwich again....That was the second week into the school year. I had no choice but to change it up a bit. This year I want to get even more creative, and keep him interested in his lunch

Another aspect is that I want to make sure our lunch is litter-less.. Every little bit counts we use reusable containers, a reusable lunch bag, and I am in the process of trying to figure out these reusable snack and sandwich bags and wraps and would like to order a few of them.

If you have any creative lunch Ideas for kids leave a comment telling me what your fave lunch idea is ..

Wild Child For Babies Reveiw and Give Away

At our home we are all about the fluffy butt! I love finding fun prints, colours and styles of diapers for my guy. I recently came across these super cute, very affordable, well made handcrafted items for babies. Wild Child for Babies I placed a custom order for 4 size Med pocket diapers and I was amazed that within days the order was ready and then arrived at our mailbox well before I expected it. These diapers are lined with a micro suede and come with a reusable liner. ( Love the concept of the liner which makes for easy removal of the poo). Melissa has a wide variety of prints including the popular prints such as ooga booga, and robots. The insert is made from a bamboo fleece which you can fold in half or in thirds.

All in all we love these diapers, they are very absorbent, super cute and very well made.

Now on to the fleece soaker. They are available in the side snapping or the pull up style. We choose to go with the pull up style and are very happy with them, although I will be ordering a few more and plan to try one of the side snapping soakers. Again we had a custom order and were quite pleased with the products we received. The added protection in the wet zone is a great feature we use these covers over fitted diapers for added nighttime protection for our heavy wetter.

Wild Child for Babies is getting ready for her 1 year on Etsy sale (9/18 - 9/30). The shop will be stocked with great buys .

Jacob and Preschool at Home

Starting Monday I will be starting preschool at home for Mister Jacob. I found a great 26 week preschool plan at Our Preschool Homeschool Blog. I plan on keeping a weekly update on Jacob's progress. If you have any advice for a first time Homeschooling mom I would love to hear it.

Seamus goes to grade two!!

My boy Seamus is off to grade two today. He kept asking me if I was happy that he was going back to school.. I Said that I was and then he got a little quiet and asked if I would miss him!!. I told him I was happy that he was starting another year of school and happy for him to go today to meet his new teacher and see his Friends, and that I would be missing him at home and waiting to hear all about his day. He is growing up, but he is still my little boy.
