:) It seems you have a lot on your plate. So excited for you about the pregnancy!!! I saw that you were looking into the Montessori method and I thought you might like to look at Regio method too. My MIL mentioned it to me and i thought is sounded interesting. Good luck on the rest of your list :) I never get all of mine done either. HA
I feel you...my lists for today and this week are incredibly long! Hope you get more things done on yours than you think...but mostly that you relax when necessary and take care of that growing baby inside of you! :) Have a good one!
Great title! And should you even be doing sit-ups being pregnant?
Hope your nausea is a bit better!
sit ups? SIT UPS? take that off the list please. lol. in it's place add something like eat pickles and icecream :-)
my list-
1.design a dora spring line for next year
2. eat cornbeef & cabbage for st patricks day

My list is just as long! i would cross off sit ups and gym first thing, and just forget that you didn't actually do them. make more time for fabric and playdough!
What a big list! Actually, I have to write a paper on Montessori schools for one of my classes that's due at the end of the week! Add that to loads of laundry, a semi-gross apartment, and a cute kiddo to play with, and I have a pretty full week, also. And I agree with someone else who mentioned the Reggio Emilia curriculum. You might want to look into that, also. It's also really child centered, like Montessori. I'm working on my child development degree, and I have a class this semester all about different early childhood curriculums. Seems like I can't get away from reminders about class anywhere I go! Good luck with your list!
My list is super long this week, too! I vote clean the fridge first--I did that at the beginning of my weekend, and now every time I open the fridge I feel very accomplished. :)
*eeek* Isn't pregnancy a really good excuse for relaxing on the couch??
Girl, I wish I could help you cross a few off of that list. Really. Not fun having a lengthy to do list hanging over your head. I'll be a-prayin' for ya.

she has some great montessori ideas and resources!
holy busy girl!
here's mine... www.sprysonawire.blogspot.com

Wow that's a long list of things to do... I just marked of a few of my list. I love that feeling of marking things off a good list (and I have plenty of them) ;) I hope you get to do that to, take care! Johanna
Katherine,
That's the blog that got me so excited about it in the first place!
She's on my blog roll now.
And here's to another long to do list!
I won't even go there in making my to-do list. It's just too depressing for a Monday. ;-)
Take it easy on yourself and don't overdo it. That only makes nausea worse. Plus stress can do a number on those lovely pregnancy hormones you have floating around in your body.
Blessings dear...
oh my i just fell in love with your shop ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
my goodness! first, take a nap...
for some easy montessori reading, check out tim seldon's "how to raise an amazing child" and pretty much any of paula polk lillard's books. i'd be happy to answer any questions for you, too!
My mom has been a Montessori teacher for almost 30 years. I also went to the school she taught at for my early years.
I too recommend How to raise an amazing child the Montessori way by Tim Seldin.
It is a great introduction to the Montessori Method.
Here is a link to the Montessori Foundation
http://www.montessori.org/
Everyone can't finish all of their to do lists all the time! Remember to add hug family and nap to your lists, and add them often!
Kristy
i just saw victoria's post on you and elsie! congratulations! i'm glad to see you get some much deserved recognition for all of your hard work!

*FUNNY* and NOW I feel bad and guilty because I was feeling overwhelmed with my simple list :S
Lynne,
Your daughter's apron post was great! I don't have an apron fetish because I don't spend a lot of time in the kitchen (husband's territory) but I love the look of them!
Thanks for pointing me that way!
Funny thing, researching Montessori was on my list too! I had to do an assignment on it, and have come to the conclusion that it's my 2nd favourite teaching philosophy. First would be Reggio Emilia :) But I like Montessori method because Montessori was a lady :)
we love Montessori. i highly recommend it
take it easy :)
ps side walk chalk paint is VERY easy to make (equal parts corn starch and water and a bit of food coloring ) the n paint up the side walk :) yay!!!
WOW!! That is quite a to-do list!! And what is this "sweeping floors" concept you speak of?
Oh and I left a comment on Elsie's blog--you are more than welcome, as well if you guys are ever doing crafty stuff this direction :)
