Have you tried this hack? It works pretty well! My kids are picky and turn their noses up at brown apples sometimes lol. What methods have you tried to make your produce last longer? Food waste is the bane of my existance. 🙃

Here's a pic from Maddie's birthday on Monday. Gotta love the clutter in the background🤣 who made me a mom blogger? I'm too tired to keep up a front lol. Also, look how big Malcolm is getting!

This is your sign to give your kid a blank sheet of paper and markers (or a chalkboard and chalk) and ask them to draw something, instead of a coloring book.🤩 It gives them the creative freedom to really create something and feel confident in what they lay down without being constricted by outlines. I think this is perhaps the first picture of our family that Marshall has drawn. He's definitely of the age to be drawing people, he just personally isn't really into art all that much, so it took me taking the initiative to ask him to draw our family for him to do it. And guess what? He loved it, and we got some very easy, much needed one-on-one time😍 #homeschooler #homeschoolprek #curriculum #unschooling #homeschoolfamily #homeschoolpreschool #homeschoolers #homeschoolactivity #handson #handsonlearning #learningthroughplay #playbasedlearning #handsonactivities #playbased #homeschoolinglife #homeschoolmom #homeschool #homeschoollife #toddlerfun #homeschooling #unschooler #homeschooldays #homeschoolpreschooler #homeschoolcurriculm #secularhomeschooler #secularhomeschoolfamily

I love meal prepping. I enjoy the process of spending all day cooking at a nice, slow and steady pace. I love the way the house smells like a bunch of different amazing foods. Cooking in general is relaxing and gives me the chance to focus in and keep my hands busy. These days it connects me back to my home. I don't really miss my stay-at-home days, because they're long and lonely. But I do miss the slowness and the ability to make my own schedule each day. I often cooked dinner before 3pm, that way I could relax with the kids in the evening instead of scrambling to wash dinner dishes and get bellies full. That's not really an option anymore now. I now either have to meal prep, make dinner in the morning in the crockpot, or throw together a meal in under 30 minutes while exhausted. These days are hard too, just a different kind of hard. Cooking always remains a nice, consistent thing that I can always count on to ground me, though. P.S. - any other parents whose kids just refuse to really do mealtime right now, join me on the dark side, and consider meal prepping for yourself, and making them "grazing plates." (Yet another reason I often fed them early. It takes hours of coming back to pick at their plate to get satisfied. They really can't stand having to sit and eat a full meal when they're told).

Our butterflies came out of their chrysalises!🦋 Their little faces say it all. Creating this bug unit has been really fun. We have never spent this long learning about the same topic.

Did you know that worms breathe through their skin
Did you know that worms breathe through their skin? Or that slugs spend most of their lives eating? Or that rollie pollies are actually crustaceans, not insects? Me neither, until the last few weeks lol! I love learning alongside the kids. I love doing life with them and watching them determine what we're going to learn about day by day. This lifestyle is really REALLY hard, but I'm finding so much peace and joy in learning to let go and give in. There's no room for tricking yourself into thinking you have any control in a home where 3 small children live and eat and play 7 days a week. Letting go has never been a strong suit of mine, though. I love learning with my kids. Learning about how termite colonies operate, and learning how to accept the things I can't control. #secularhomeschoolfamily #secularhomeschoolmom #secularhomeschooling #secularhomeschooler #secularhomeschool #homeschoolpreschooler #preschoolcurriculm #homeschoolcurriculm #positiveparentingsolutions #positiveparentingskills #positiveparentingtips #positiveparenting #gentleparentinglife #gentleparenting #parenting #unschoollife #unschoolinglife #homeschooldays #unschoolers #unschooled #unschooler #unschool #homeschoollife #homeschooling #homeschool #homeschoolmom #homeschoolinglife #playbased #learningthroughplay

🎨What is process art?🎨 Read my full guide a 🎨What is process art?🎨 Read my full guide at modernhomesteadmama.com (link in bio). It goes over the benefits for both kids and parents, and how to set up a successful session🎨 Simply put, process art is child-led, choice-driven, and leaves plenty of room for open-ended exploration and discovery. It focuses on the joy of creation, rather than a specific outcome. The image on the left shows a process art session. The image on the right is a craft. There’s nothing wrong with crafting! Having crafting sessions with clear goals is great too, and provides its own set of benefits🥳 but process art is something every family should implement when they can❤️ here’s why: 🎨It promotes creativity and imagination 🎨It helps children gain confidence in forming and executing original ideas 🎨it helps children understand cause and effect, as well as dealing with disappointment 🎨It aids in the development of problem-solving skills 🎨It’s perfect for young children, because it meets them at their natural desire for sensory exploration. Sensory play had a ton of benefits all on its own. Check out my free guide to sensory bins at Cultivate Curiosity if you want to know more. It literally helps our children’s brains make new connections🧠 #homeschool #homeschoollife #homeschoolmom #homeschoolmama #homeschoolfamily #bigfamily #momof3 #homeschoolcurriculum #curriculum #homeschoolcommunity #prek #prekcurriculum #preschoolcurriculum #homeschoolpreschool #preschoolactivities #momblog #homeschoolblog #homeschoolers #montessoriathome #eclectichomeschool #processart #processartfortoddlers #processartforkids #waldorfhomeschool #waldorfinspired #openendedplay #playbased #unschool #unschooler #unschooled
Yesterday was our sweet girl’s birthday! Three y Yesterday was our sweet girl’s birthday! Three years of loving this bug-catching, clothes-hating, @gabbysdollhouse-loving beautiful human💖 anyone else that has young kids knows it was absolute chaos but here are a few snaps that *almost* look like we’re a normal family 🤣 only Aunt Trinity was there, so we got to be our normal, crazy selves. I don’t think Maddie would want it any other way😂👏🏻😍 today we’re still celebrating and her homeschool friends are here to play.✨ #secularhomeschoolfamily #homeschoolpreschooler #momlife #gentleparentinglife #wildschool #homeschoolers #homeschoolfamily #wildschooling #momsofinstagram #unschooling #prekathome #bigfamilyhomeschool #homeschooler #preschoolathome #homeschoolmama #thirdbirthday #gabbysdollhouse #gabbysdollhousebirthday #birthdaygirl #kidsofinstagram #middlechild #happybirthday #momblogger
