What’s New: The Photo Journal Continues

Published February 22, 2012

Ciao! I have so many exciting things to share, beginning I hope with this next Montessori Monday, but today we are on the go and I am also not wanting to broadcast our exact location to the whole of the internet. So, for now I have Mamatography photos up until a couple of days ago and promises of more to come in the next week. I’m really missing my connections in this space and looking forward to catching up with all of you soon.

I’m adding the linky as usual, even though my own blogging is lacking, so please share any updates you may have!

What’s New: Exploring Italia

Published February 15, 2012

I flew out at 6am the morning after I published my last post and we’re still on a bit of a funky schedule, hence my complete silence in the blog world.

Montessori Meets Baby-Led Weaning: On NPN Today

Published February 2, 2012

You can find me over at the Natural Parents Network today, where I discuss the Natural Approach to Introducing Solids that worked for us when Annabelle first began exploring the world of food.

“The Montessori method for introducing solids has always appealed to me on some level, but the practice of baby-led weaning, popular among natural parents, also caught my eye. I went back and forth a good deal as I tried to work out the best approach for us, but in the end, I found out that the two can actually work together in perfect harmony.”
