Let's see, 10 things about me!?

1. The sunflowers growing outside my window brighten every morning, so I love sunflowers.
2. We're seriously considering having another child!
3. I have an undying passion for raw cacao.
4. I try to learn something new from nature everyday
5. I'm learning about wildcrafting so that my family and I can enjoy super nutrient dense food at no cost.
6. I want to move to the middle of nowhere and live fully self-sustained and off of the grid.
7. I eat mostly raw foods (until my husband comes home and says "Let's make popcorn"
8. I am so thankful for the Montessori method. It's given me a way to raise my child with less confusion and self-doubt. Being able to nurture a happy, respectful, resilient and wonder-filled child in this crazy world is such a great relief and blessing.
9. I miss my Volkswagen van! Now I am going to acquire a Delica or a Toyota Hiace, and fully enjoy the economical advantages of a diesel engine in a fully camperized 4 wheel drive vehicle that can fit many children!
10. I think my husband is brilliant!

Now comes the really fun and actually hard for me part, tagging 10 other blogs that I really respect and enjoy. I don't find that I have enough time to frequent and find many montessori inspired blogs so I'll list 5 of the ones that I don't see listed on other blogs too often but that I love (They are mostly crafty blogs but they have wonderful ideas:

1. filth wizardry: So many great craft and activity ideas. Her kids have a super duper time!
2. one inch world: Crafty, creative and fun
3. over the crescent moon: Honest, real and real fun
4. little eyes on nature: A beautiful blog about sharing nature with children. The blog author is also the principal of two montessori pre-schools which she calls enviro-nature pre-schools. Awesome!
5. Sadly lost blog!: Oh NO! I was so happy to link whoever visits here to this blog. It is a spectacular kids art blog but I have lost the link and name. ;0( I must find it again and if I do I will definitely mention it then). It's too good to not spread the word!
