Easter is not something we really celebrate religiously, but all the same, we have crafted and painted, and went on an Easter egg hunt Sunday, baked Hot Cross Buns, made buckwheat pancakes (again), and decorated an Easter tree. The spring is so close now. The leaves on the branches burst out after approximately 5 hours!

As the Easter gifts, I had ordered these wonderful knitted gnome hats from a wondeful woman on Etsy- her name is Judy, and her shop is Mama Judes. I think it is fine to know ones capibilities, and cheat a little. They ARE homemade. Each one got a matching hat for their doll too. Noa, the boy, loved his the most.
A little early morning play.
Bike time. Jasmin is learning how, Noa and Lea share a wonderful Early Rider.
Picking up on the French Cooking, Anders made some exquisite pate a choix- with raspberry cream filling.
All dolls invited.
Home making with kids is, lucky enough, all about just being home, and not having BIG expectations. They are still so small. Have reachded a point of relaxing more, on myself that is.
They are still so small, and all the same so capable of pulling your strings, and laughing it up! The concept of gentle dicipline, NOT reaising your voice and speaking in pictures is all wonderful, but difficult to incorporate at all times. I am really trying though. Really recommend "The Parenting Passageway", see link on right column. She has some wonderful insight into gentle dicipline, and doesn't require reading an entire novel, to get started.
Oh the hats are just beautiful, my children have grown now and I was pleased that for the most part spoke to them in pictures, love and light Marie
