Our days are full right now. We are in the midst of a parenting season with lots of “little people needs,” as is the norm for a family with three children, ages 5 and under (and 12 chickens).

But I’m not the only one wearing the baby. My Continue reading Why Baby-Wearing Isn’t Just for Babies (or Mamas!) Quiet/Busy Book: Dress-Up Doll & Weave-It Pages One of my children’s favorite quiet activities is our homemade “quiet/busy” book, which I made as a Christmas gift.
