We had a great time on the beach in Bali.
The boys aren’t old enough to be able to last all day on the beach, but we had some fun moments.
Jojo ran and played and frolicked in the waves. He laughed and squealed a lot!

I loved that the boys had their SunSkinz suits (also useful in [...]

Sacred Monkeys

Today we visited the Sangeh Monkey Forest near Ubud, Bali.
The forest of nutmeg trees surrounds a 400 year-old temple complex. The forest, and therefore the resident primates, are thought to be sacred.
The scenery was amazing to behold, but I was on edge the entire time. The monkeys are said to be “friendly” as long as [...]

WW: All Before 8am

Little Deeds and I had an adventure this morning. I think all of this transpired before 7:30 am.

A ride to the local coffee shop, clutching a choking-hazard sized pink Easter egg he connected with for some reason.

This coffee shop has a swing set in the courtyard. It is a lifesaver. I come here just for [...]

Growing Fast

Jojo and Deeds are growing up. Tonight when bed time came a few minutes too late for Jojo and he was having a melt down, Deedsy sat on the bed next to him as he cried, patting Jojo reassuringly on the back for several minutes.
Deeds was so tender, it was so touching to watch. He [...]

I got this email today (below) and I just LOVE learning about how my kids are developing.
I earned a Master’s degree in teaching and my favorite classes were the development classes.
In fact I just found some notes from one of my classes stuck in a book today. It is so neat looking at this stuff [...]

It’s All In The Interpretation

When I got excited about dyeing our own play silks, some people asked, “What do you do with them?”
Usually I say something like, “They are great for open ended play! They can be capes, a “camp fire”, a doll blanket, a “river”, or anything the child can imagine!”
Maybe that answer wasn’t the complete truth.
Here is [...]

Birth Story Share Time

This was at 32 weeks with baby Deaky.
I can’t believe he is 18 months old now!
It was one wild ride for me. I had a natural childbirth…not by choice!
I was starting to get discouraged about Deeds arriving on time (he was due on August 15th), but on Tuesday August 14th I lost “the plug” [...]

Lolo’s First Outing

Okay, you guys were a big disappointment when I issued the call to name the twin MomMostTraveled.com ambassadors.
So I started brainstorming and my first thought was that they are made out of black buffalo horns, so I could name one Blacky and the other Hornie.
Then I thought I better not use “Hornie” because strange [...]

I am a big fan of A Toy Garden; this online toy store has unique children’s items that I haven’t seen anywhere else.
Many of them are made in the USA, or Fair Trade!
I also love that many of the toys are Waldorf or Montessori inspired.
These toys are beyond the realm of the mass produced. I [...]

Adiri Natural Nurser

Baby Deeds was understandably VERY happy when we started using Adiri Natural Nurser Baby Bottles.
(Baby Deeds, pictured here at about 5-months-old!)
We still nurse, but increasingly as he grew, there have been times that we needed to be apart for short periods, including when I was working part-time.
I didn’t want him to have to be entirely [...]
