Archives for April 2017

“Keep close to nature’s heart… and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” — John Muir

Earth Day 2017…It is a beautiful 64 degrees today and I decided to take a walk to enjoy the beauty around me. I find peace and joy in the solitude of nature. How are you inspired by our planet each day? Post your photos in the comments
 Easter in the Montessori Classroom
As the owner of a Montessori school, our classrooms have always addressed Easter as a celebration of new life. New life in the spring is indicated in so many ways; budding trees, blooming flowers, baby birds and other baby animals and green grass.
Although there are many stories surrounding the origin of the word “Easter”, to some, Easter is the celebration of spring and to others, it is a celebration of their religion.
My family will celebrate at our family getaway, surrounded by friends and nature. We will celebrate with our traditional Easter egg hunt and are always looking for new ways to color our eggs. I am including a link for natural egg dye recipes. If you have new ideas you would like to share, post the link in the comments.
Happy Egg Dying!



Use these all-natural dye recipes made from household ingredients to create Easter eggs in beautifully subdued shades. Leave eggs soaking in the dye in the refrigerator overnight for the richest colors.
