My daughter is really into the Montessori philosophy of early childhood education. I thought it would be fun to share something she’s learned about Montessori every Monday. So since it’s Monday, (or even if it’s not when you are reading this) check out her video above on how to create relatively low-cost Montessori-style shelves for your toddler. Yep, that’s my grandbaby! Isn’t he cute?!?! I just want to cuddle with him and read all those books to him and play with him! He’s over a year older now, and talking! He’s now a big brother. My daughter shared the most darling video of him telling her, “Good job feeding Howie, mama!”

I feel like almost everything my dearest daughter does is an improvement on everything I desired and sometimes fell short of. It’s really fulfilling to see her standing on my shoulders so-to-speak and going farther than I ever did in all these wonderful, puristy principles.
