•Makers Gonna Make• My oldest has been asking to learn how to play Pokémon cards and I said if he saved his money he could buy a deck and play. We researched a starter deck, priced it out and then he set a goal for how much money he needed to earn.🤑 ✨ After a few days, he was getting antsy as it was taking longer to earn the money and he wanted to play now. So, he spent the morning making his own cards and game board then taught his brother how to play his version. 🙌 ✨ #makersgonnamake #homemade #homeschool #selfdirectedlearning #unschooling #homemadegames #pokemon

•Snow Fun• Finally. All winter we have had these snow storms that finish with slushy rain leaving it less than desirable to get out and play in. I was so excited to finally have a good ol’ New England snow storm today when my whole family could be home to enjoy it together. ❄️ ✨ Snowball fights, fun with slow mo shots, a somewhat successful family selfie & even a shot with my love ❤️ ✨ We came inside and warmed up with cups of hot chocolate and board games. ☕️ ✨ Perfect snow day ⛄️💫 ✨ #snowday #slowmotion #slowmosnow #slowmotionsnow #familyselfie #snowball #snowballfight

•snow day• Good morning snow! I love snow days on a vacation day when we can just admire it from the window and not do the hustle of suiting up, shoveling out and sliding around to get to where we need to go. ❄️ ✨ Instead I can make another cuppa tea, snuggle in and enjoy. ☕️ ✨ Though, let’s be honest, 3 kids will only chill for so long so we will suit up and head out to play in it at some point today. ⛄️ ✨ #snowday #yaysnow #cozy #hygge #cuppatea #snuggle #whataview #vacationday #window #outmywindow

•Happy Valentine’s Day• So many sweet homemade Valentines made in this last week. My favorite was a series of these heart guys carrying their own Valentines. ❤️ ✨ #happyvalentinesday #homemadevalentines #willyoubemyvalentine #valentines #heart

•bikes• Climate change is terrifying and 2030 is not that far away. But, bike riding in February in New England is a rare treat. 🚲 ✨ I guess this is turning lemons to lemonade?? 🍋 ✨ #climatechange #climatechangeisreal #2030 #bikeridinginwinter #bikeriding #butreallyclimatechangeisreal

•yoga• Even though this snow storm is going to turn into a rainy mess by morning, we’re still settling in and have a day full of snowed in activities planned for tomorrow. Getting this storm started right with a little grounding with @cosmickidsyoga 🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏻‍♀️ ✨ #kidsyoga #yogakids #yoga #cosmickidsyoga #snowstorm

•Calvin & Hobbes• The joy these two get from reading and giggling along with the adventures of that little boy & his tiger....oh man, I wish I could bottle it up. 👦🏼🐯 ✨ #calvinandhobbes #kidsandcomics #kidsreadingtokids #homeschool #selfdirectedlearning #brothers #myboys

•poop doula• 💩 That’s right. These last few weeks I’ve added poop doula to my lists of jobs. My daughter has been potty training since Christmas and she’s doing great except for when it’s time to poop. She screams: “Mama! Hold my hand! It’s coming!!” And then I take her hand, rub her back while she breathes heavy and labors for a moment before she gives up, pops up off the potty and says “Maybe later.” Over and over a million times a day. 🤦🏻‍♀️ ✨ I hear myself saying things like: “You can do this, let it go.” Or “Your body was made to do this.” Seriously. It’s pretty ridiculous. 😂 ✨ Any other mamas ever found themselves in a poop doula role? How do we move past this?!? My boys never had this problem. I actually think it’s fear and not constipation. She’s getting a steady dose of prune juice & her diet is pretty good. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ✨ #poopdoula #youcandoit #poop #poopwoes #toddlerlife #pottytraining #letitgo

•Sunset• That sunset at FOUR THIRTY was on fire this afternoon. I hate how early the sun goes down in the winter, but it sure was quite a show today. #nofilter 🌅 ✨ It stopped me in my tracks while running errands and after I snapped a shot, I looked around to see at least 10 other people doing the same. 🙌 ✨ #sunset #sunsetonfire #winter #wintersun #wintersunset #urbansunset #showoff

•Art Hub• Nearly every day my boys (5 & 8 yrs old) love drawing along with @artforkidshub ✏️ ✨ I love their unique interpretations of the illustrations. They both walk away so proud of their work. ❤️ ✨ Thank you Art Hub! 👍 ✨ #arthubforkids #arthub #kidartist #everyoneisanartist #kidart #art #youtube

•Sunday morning• I finally get a turn in the book nook with an embroidery project while the boys work on a draw bridge to their cardboard castle. Easy like Sunday morning. 🏰 ✨ #cardboardart #embroidery #sundaymorning #metime #followyourpassion #multipotentialitemaker #makersgonnamake #maker #selfdirectedlearning #homeschool

•cat man• My oldest loves illustrating on the iPad. It’s one of his favorite past times these days. I’m a big fan of yesterday’s “cat man” 😻 ✨ #kidswhodraw #kidartist #kidart #ipadart #illustrations #autodesksketchbook @autodesksketchbook
