Today on the journal we have a tutorial for a quick and simple DIY project. We turn all those beautiful Christmas family pictures into a lovely little album that can be used to keep our dear ones remembered in prayer.

DIY Montessori Snack Time at Home
Although we often have snacks on the go, sometimes in carseats and other times picnic-style, when we are home, we aim to sit down together at the child-sized table for fifteenish minutes of nourishing food and togetherness between meals. When I create a space for an intentional slowing down and incorporating beautiful touches into our snack time, I see it as a deep inhale during our day which grounds us then fills up for the next round of “exhaling” activity.
How to Make a Montessori Entryway
Reasons to make a Montessori entryway: 1. We want our children (and their little friends who visit) to have a strong sense of “you are welcome here” 2. Having a place for everything allows us to have a consistent routine for leaving the home and also upon returning to it i.e. LESS STRESS 3. Our children gain more and more independence and experience the joy of doing these things on their own!
