This blog works again!!!

So many things have happened since I've been unable to update the blog.

The biggest is: team Prelogar will be getting a new player this summer!  We have an unexpected bundle due August 28th-ish.  Stay tuned for updates!

We are all so very over winter.  Even for Kansas this has been a particularly hard and cold winter.  To say we have cabin fever is an understatement!

R is no longer in preschool.  We couldn't make it work (time wise and financially) with childcare for S, me teaching and working, and N working and going to school.  So we are working on things at home.  Since we are mostly inspired by Waldorf philosophies we haven't pushed letters or reading, but some of it is coming naturally, especially with the amount of books we read.

I'm still involved in swaps, but thinking about scaling back.  Currently I'm hosting a St. Patrick's Day Swap for BOG and a Tiptoes Lightly swap for a Facebook group.  (Tiptoes is a character in a series of books).  I was hesitant to stay in swaps with all the holiday dissappointment, but I want to have a stockpile of nature table goodies and more natural things for the sensory bins.  So I'm keeping up for a while longer.  I most certainly won't be doing anything for a while after the baby comes.  

Speaking of sensory bins... I put together my first one for Etsy.  And I already sold it!  It was for St. Patrick's Day.

Our own St. Patrick's Day bins look like this:



Since I'm trying not to spend money on "new" things for the bins, I'm forced to get creative.  It's especially hard to spread our goodies to two bins with the same theme, but I'm finding that helps with sibling contentment.  These bins are filled with green split peas and i think they still turned out fun despite the lack of "stuff".

So happy you are up and running on the blog. Know you are more active on Facebook for a variety of reasons that make sense for you but still not my gig. Love the PD bins, the fact that you sold one, and your new arrival announcement. Nonna
