Even though my mind is still on the traditional education realm, I have always been highly intrigued by “nature based” learning, and definitely think there is something to be said about the children who are raised with that mentality. When Blossom and Root had their fall sale last month, I jumped on board and purchased The Early Years bundle.

I’ve lost track of how many times we have done “sleep training”. What I failed to realize the first half dozen times around the block, was that it isn’t a one-time ordeal. Between teething, growth spurts, and new developing sleep rhythms, this is an ever on going process. Waves of ups and downs.

What do you get when you combine one bored mama, an antsy toddler, and a yard that serves no real purpose? A dirt kitchen, obviously.
