Inspired by Childhood101 and Irresistible Ideas we decided to make a tree house doll’s house as a gift for Morgan’s 4th birthday. We used Silver Birch branches and one big log of hardwood for the large rounds. We drilled and screwed the bigger support trunks to a pine board base and drilled and screwed the […]
Helping With Handwriting.
Remembering how to write letters correctly and being able to do so neatly is proving a little tricky for our girls (who are in Grade one) at the moment. Not being able to write as quickly or as well as they’d like is proving frustrating as their handwriting can’t keep up with their reading, spelling […]
