My Montessori Inspired Home

Recently I purchased the Montessori at Home! ebook.  I purchased this book for the activities, but it appears to be a lifestyle change.  I now have both of my boys doing practical life exercises, with Damon cracking eggs and peeling carrots and Evan pouring his own water and setting the table.  I also made a few changes to our home in order to accommodate my little guys.

The kitchen before...

 And after...


I am working on hanging more artwork at their height.

A place to hang their coats.

Our creative area.  Sometimes they like to eat here as well, especially Evan.

A few bins I put together from the book.  One is filled with rice and lavender, the other with spices, seeds, and rice.

More Sewing

Here are just a few more completed sewing projects.  I had to make another of the Esme Top.  And with some fabric to spare, I was able to make another variation of Colette's Sorbetto Top.



 Damon's Easy Linen Shirt from Sewing for Boys was handed down to his brother, so he requested a new shirt.  He chose the fabric.  Once again, plenty of room to grow!
