Let’s accessorize all of those little toys around the house with a village just their own. Take these wooden buildings from EcoPuzzle. They’re simple and sturdy – leaving lots of room for intepretation and playtime. I love all the brilliant colors they come in too! Obviously red is a classic choice, but I’m kinda feeling […]

I’m going to treat myself this week, since it includes my birthday, and take some time away from the internet. So I’ll warn you now, you won’t hear from Small for Big until next week! But that’s ok, I think we’re all taking it slower this summer, right? And in the meantime, I thought I’d […]

There’s really only one thing worth talking about this week: Summertime. It’s what gets me out of bed in the morning, and why I keep opening all the windows even when it’s a little too hot. Driving around with all the windows down and singing at the top of my lungs has been my favorite […]

Have all recovered from the big Holiday weekend? Poor Birdie has been up far too late for 3 nights in a row. I think we’re aaaalllllll glad the 4th of July is behind us at this point! But, to deal with those cranky, sleep-deprived kiddos, maybe we need some huggable plush. And I really do […]

It’s July already – how has your summer been so far? Ours has been very low-key, but I kind of like my summers that way. Simple, with time to stop and literally smell the roses. The only thing I’m trying to figure out is what the heck to do for the July 4th holiday. Our […]

Every summer I lose my marbles. All of our usual routines get thrown out the window, and though it sounds wonderful to shake things up, the transition is not pretty. I can’t tell you the number of little – and big – things I’ve forgotten this week while I tried to be more present with […]

get the goods for your kiddos this summer

Thumbnail image for get the goods for your kiddos this summer

We’re in our second week of summer break and already I’ve heard the phrase “Mom, I’m bored”. AND she didn’t eat a single bite of her lunch yesterday either, for who knows what reason! Sound familiar? Fellow blogger Amy Christie knows this problem inside out – and has come up with a solution to help all […]

make bathtime the bomb

Does anyone else have kids who really don’t want to take a bath? It’s like it’s taking precious time away from their all-day playtime! Birdie is one of those kids. Bath time can be a battleground of “Not right now” and “I’ll do it after x,y, and z!”. But guess what, I’ve found a secret […]

A very interesting thing has happened at our house amidst the start of summer vacation. Somehow, my sweet Birdie has decided she wants to try “homeschool” all summer long. Now. I am not cut out to be an official Home School Parent. I love teaching, it’s in my genes and in my background: I taught […]

I have a matching bracelet set for Birdie and for me, but the problem is I’m afraid to actually let her wear her delicate golden bracelet chain. I was just thinking there has to be a more durable option, right? Turns out there is – and it’s super boho chique too. Check out these leather […]
