It was a crazy day but before Emeraude was to head to her Dad’s I thought we could do a little gardening. Our beans (haricots) grew like CRAZY and I knew she would enjoy transplanting them and getting a look at the roots. Emeraude found a few beans that were just barely germinating and this [Read more]
Great morning with my girl. Happy to be getting our mornings back somewhat (result of solumedrol I think). We started out making ‘soup’ and recipes with the beads and too many bowls/ladels/potato masher lol and then switched to some bracelets. Emeraude began working on a necklace for [Read more]
Some of the other seeds are finally coming up. The only ones still hiding are the parsnips. Wondering what to do about the ‘greenhouse’ lids with the peas touching the top, I don’t want her healthy sprouts to start leaning over but worry if I take it off the ones that still need [Read more]
Our sprouts are growing like crazy already! Emeraude was so excited this morning when after just 2 days (for some, 3 days for others) she already had some great sprouts coming up.

Emeraude woke up from her nap with a plan… She began listing to me the ingredients we needed for a ‘kind of craft’. As I listened to her explanation of what we were to do, I realized what she wanted and explained to her that this was called an ‘experiment’. We [Read more]
Lloyd gave Emeraude a great cloud book this Christmas which is perfect for her age and will be for years to come. It lists the types of clouds, how they are named and what weather to expect when each cloud type is seen… And I was very much looking forward to the opportunity to take [Read more]
