Tired of thinking
I get tired of having to think and having to make decisions on many small things, every day, instead of the physical running around. I feel like my brain is steaming from all the thinking:
what to prepare for breakfast
what to prepare for snack bag
what to put in the backpack for activities of the day
how to answer “I don’t want to go to school”
did I take everything, as we’re leaving the house
what to cook for dinner
what homework should be done
what fun activities to...

Trofast Children’s Craft Table – DIY
We setup this small table when my kids were much smaller for them to eat snacks by themselves and scribble once in a while at one corner of our living room. During time it became a full fledge craft and drawing place and causing a terrible mess in our living room. So I wanted a craft/drawing table for my two kids, which would also store all of their materials.

Home-made sandpaper letters
I made the sandpaper letters from Montessori Method at home. I did these just to create some craft for myself, I guess. We were trying to get the basement finished. I remembered the instructions at the end of “Teaching Montessori in the Home: Pre-School Years”. I got an extra pack of fine sandpapers.

I got amazing deals for furniture and other stuff.
I got these shelves for $10 each.

Future of Chicago Public Schools

In two years, my son will be starting Kindergarten and my daughter Preschool. I feel like we will have to put them in a private school and instead of public school based on the most recent news.

Loving to be a SAHM
I love to be a stay-at-home-mom on days like these. Take a music class… then run to the museum to enjoy free museum days… [Museum of Science and Industry has free admission until Jan 31] Especially now that Ela is 13 months old and she can walk.
So it is not a stay-at-home!!! situation really, but I enjoy these things. I enjoy my kids’ dragging me from exhibit to exhibit instead of me showing them the way. I enjoy the fact that it takes us 2 hours to get from the music class...

Last minute getaway
Two Fridays ago, a friend of mine called me to ask me why I haven’t replied to her evite. Apparently, she used my e-mail address which I use only to register for memberships, and receive ads. As I was going through my inbox, which I haven not checked for a month or so, I saw this newsletter from a ski resort. We’ve gone there years ago. Since I was craving for a ski trip I opened the mail and saw this last minute getaway deal. It was for a free lodging if you purchase 2 2-day lift...
