Bella Kate's friend Keira (@arollins) invited us to her 10th birthday party at @areafiftyfour and the girls had SO much fun with this choreo!! I see us for sure going back for a beginner hip hop class on Thursdays once school is out.

Just me?  I find it so calming to just watch jellyfish especially when you pair it with music. Every time we're at an aquarium I find myself filming them. 

I took this at the Greensboro Science Center @greensborosciencecenter I'll get around to making a highlight for it some time, but we've taken the girls twice now (last spring and this spring) and it's truly awesome. They have an aquarium inside, a theater, weather exhibit, dinosaurs!, a cool indoor playground, and other science experiments and exhibits, etc. This year they had a whole room dedicated to dogs and cats that was so cool!! And then outside is a zoo plus a huge playground for the kids. It's a whole day activity and our girls never wanted to leave.

Lovevery – Montessori Play Based Learning For Every Stage – Review

*This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission, at no cost to you, if you make a purchase through a link!*

Play based learning is big in this house. In fact, our tablets have all been on top of the fridge dead for the last two months. That’s why when Lovevery came along I was quick to jump on the chance to try a few of their toys and a play kit for Nora Dove. Lovevery Montessori play based learning kits are a great way to take the guesswork out of what toys are developmentally appropriate for your child up to age 3! Check our my review below.

lovevery montessori based toys play based learning wooden and felt
The Helper age based play kit from Lovevery. Play based learning for Monstessori activities at home.

There’s something about being IN your house all the time like we all have the last few months that makes you realize there’s just too much STUFF IN your house.

Like many of you, I have been purging over the last 5 months. I’ve purged a TON of toys. I just wanted all of the lights and noise gone. Along with getting rid of *stuff* I’ve also wanted to get back to simpler things in all areas. I wanted my kids using their imaginations and ingenuity more. So we’ve gotten rid of most of those toys (and … there … were … a lot). We’re replacing them with wooden toys geared towards developmental milestones and age appropriate activities. These Montessori based toys are just what the home-preschool doctor ordered. I can’t think of a better company to support in this effort than Lovevery. They have poured their heart and soul into the effort of giving babies their best start.

Age Appropriate Kits

They have age appropriate “kits” that are specially crafted and thoughtfully put together specifically for your baby. We ended up getting The Helper kit for Nora Dove since she’s right at 27 months and of course the child HAD to have The Block Set for building “castles.” We opened these yesterday and she played for HOURS.

It seems sort of backwards to most parents I think (myself included, I used to think this) but she played better and for a longer period of time with these toys than she EVER has with any of the other remotes, toy laptops, talking dogs, etc that have set all over this living room since her older sister was little. I’ve linked them here. Check out a kit. It comes with tons of activities for each item and explains the things you’re working on with your child at their age. It’s super fascinating to me. I know you won’t be disappointed. I would always get lost looking for Montessori supplies for our house. What do I get? When? Should I start this activity now or later? Am I late? Lovevery takes the guesswork out of it and I love that so much.

Toys are a lot different now than they were in the 80’s it seems. 😉 Below is an actual image of a toy that’s in the house leftover from my husband’s childhood. No wonder we’re scarred, HA!

Be sure to leave a comment or shoot me an email if you have questions or you check Lovevery Montessori play based learning kits and toys out! I’d love to hear about it.

xoxo,

Aleah

Hi!! I am a veteran software engineer with a love of photography, motherhood, and clean food, a touring musician’s wife, and mom to 2 little ladies ages 2 and 6. Our eldest daughter has severe food allergies which lead to a lot of research and even more cooking and recipe creation/adaption and sharing. I like to shoot with my amazing Canon 5D Mark iii, bake lots of bread, and tend my plant babies and indoor garden.

Here you’ll find information about severe food allergies, allergy friendly and vegan recipes, parenting topics, educational STEM information, technology reviews, and other home and lifestyle topics.

BK completed in lyrical, jazz, musical theatre production line,  tap, and hip hop. It's a lot, but also so so worth it. I still don't know how she remembers that much choreo. 🤷‍♀️ She's amazing.

First competition of the season is in the books!! We didn't get in bed until midnight Saturday night but it was so worth it. These girls left everything on the stage!! We had several moments of complete overwhelm during quick changes lol but we made it through all 5 dances 🫠. BK said, "I just love dancing with my friends, Mom." Right before she passed out 😆  Thank you @iddancecomp for such an incredible weekend. And thank you @aadofficial, @michelle_onthe_move, @reneemckinney12, @chilopes, and @taylorstraney for just being who you are! We love you all!

Am I the only one that is bad at filming what I'm doing because I'm too busy ... doing the things? 

It's that time again!! Dance competition season is upon us and I think after an entire season last year 🤣 I've finally mastered hair and makeup ... And then they threw in bubble braids this year 🙃 Dress rehearsal was today and Bella Kate is so excited to compete with her best girls in her 2nd season with the @aadofficial Company!

Special thanks to her amazing teachers/choreographers
Jazz: @michelle_onthe_move 
Contemporary: @taylorstraney 
Musical Theatre: @taylorstraney 
Tap: @reneemckinney12 
Hip Hop: @chilopes 

I've seen SO SO SO much growth in her so far this year and yes she works hard but you all work hard with her and pour yourselves into her and the rest of her teammates. 👏👏👏

Here's to an amazing season! LET'S GO!

@aadofficial New Years Party was a huge success. Every time I get to spend time with these kiddos I'm reminded of just how amazing they all are.  They always love on and play with Nora Dove, they cheer each other on like no other hype team, and I heard more "yes ma'ams" and "no ma'ams" than I could count.  Good raisin'.

🎄 Christmas Tree Kitchen Towels 🎄
Do you like giving or receiving handmade gifts? 🖐️ What's the best one you've received? 
This is such a fun way to give a handmade thoughtful gift that will actually be useful! 
Set of white flour sack towels
Fabric paint
Assorted paint brushes
Fun stamps to represent the stump and tops of the tree
Hands and fingers!!
These are so easy and the kids loved doing it.  As you can see from the mess at the beginning it took me a few iterations to figure out what looked best (and lots of texting back and forth with my bestie who is a far better crafter than I'll ever be🤣) if you want to make your own design, try it out on paper first until you get something you love lol. The towels and paints are from Amazon (will link them in bio) and the stamps, paint trays, and brushes are from Michaels. Most of all have fun with it! Let me know if you try it.  If you message me I can send you direct links to the supplies!

🔊👆 Y'all ... so this was surreal. @joshshilling wrote and sang the opening theme for this new true crime show on @oxygen and watching it live and hearing his music not only opening but also in the background all over this show was something else all together. So so so proud of him.
