Learn about a NEW Montessori blog with tips on Montessori Homeschool, Montessori at Home and Montessori printables, books and resources. Good morning! I’m super excited to announce that the project I’ve been working on behind the scenes is now ready for the world.

Good morning! I have some exciting news to share today – my husband and I have just released a Montessori alphabet book, available for purchase here! (We’ve since released a cursive edition here as well!) This was a labor of love that we’ve been working on for months and I’m super excited that it’s ready to share. So what is a Montessori alphabet book? I’ve written about it in much more detail here but there are three main things that set this apart from other abc books: Phonetic Sounds: Each page features a word beginning with the phonetic sound of the featured letter.

Fun at Home – Things We’re Loving Lately (Sago Mini Review, 3D Build & Play, and more!)

Hello hello! While we’ve had our fair share of adventures this summer (more on that soon!), we’ve also been spending lots of time at home, along with everyone else. While I obviously never would have chosen this situation or the devastation it has caused, I have loved seeing James and Lilah learn to entertain themselves better than ever before. Still, we all have off days and some mornings it’s clear that we need a little something extra. I love having a few “back pocket” activities for days like this to help turn things around and I have found some good ones lately! I hope you love them too a ..read more

Good morning! How are you guys doing? Obviously a ton has happened since the last time I posted, but today I’m really going to focus on a 15 month update for Lilah. So I wrote this post months ago, in the “before time,” but with everything that’s been going on, didn’t get around to publishing. Lilah is now almost 18 months (whoops!) so it’s now or never. I know I’ll want to remember these sweet times of early toddlerhood and am doing my best to focus on the good these days. Here’s what Lilah’s like as a little toddler! Milestones: Lilah wasn’t quite walking in my last update, but that’s hard ..read more

Happy Birthday Lilah!
Montessori-ish Mom

Lilah is officially one year old!  It’s so funny, but just in the couple of weeks before her birthday, she started showing signs of early toddlerhood (like the cutest tantrums you’ve ever seen) like she knew that the milestone was coming. She will carefully lower herself onto the floor, flail a little bit and make whining noises, all while looking back at me to check for a reaction.  It’s pretty funny although I’m obviously not looking forward to the real all-out toddler tantrums that are bound to come next. Lilah is still super sweet and snuggly just as she’s always been, but with ..read more

How to support your child’s need for order during the holidays
Montessori-ish Mom

Whether you’re traveling or staying local, the holiday season often brings chaos along with the joy. I think all parents have had the experience of planning something super fun to do with their kids, only to have it “ruined” by a huge tantrum or generally grumpy child. This can be really frustrating and disappointing, but it is also totally understandable.  Kids, especially young kids, need and crave routine and when that routine is disrupted, even for something fun, they sometimes fall apart. Does this mean you should skip the holiday events this year? No, of course not!  But it mi ..read more

5 Things that made our holiday travel with 2 kids manageable
Montessori-ish Mom
by Christina

Good morning! So while I love traveling, I used to totally dread the travel part of it after having kids.  I wouldn’t say we’ve had any totally traumatic travel experiences with our kids, but it definitely took some experimenting to get into a groove. I also think how easy / difficult traveling with kids is totally depends on the ages of your kids – I personally find the 15 month-2 yr stage very difficult for traveling because they are SO active and aren’t often that into stationary activities.  So we’ll see how I feel about traveling in a few months when Lilah is in that stage. Any ..read more
