Lingual Diversity

We share the bench at a neighborhood park by the courthouse, watch children play.

He says something, maybe in Spanish, points to a running, laughing boy, probably his son, about the same age as my daughter, also running and laughing.

I nod and smile.

I point toward my little girl, say the same thing in English he most likely said in his language.

He nods and smiles.

Like our children’s laughter we require no translation. by Carl Palmer

A Sweet Nativity Scene

I love the idea of doing little things leading up to Christmas to reflect and celebrate but I never get in the mindset early enough to catch day one of advent. Next year!:)

In the meantime I was thrilled to find this adorable and free printable nativity scene. I'm so thankful to have come across it and the rest of the blog/shop looks awesome too!

It is way too easy to get bogged down this time of year and feel like I am not doing enough when in fact 'doing enough' is an illusive concept that has nothing to do with why I celebrate. Hope this little printable brings some joy into your home, too!

Happy Thursday! I can't wait until the weekend - yippy!! I saw this on Made by Joel and thought it was so funny. Joel made these little printable DIY cats for his daughter to play with. You can print them out with or without colour.

Hank: Mama? Remember these paper dolls? Me: Sure. Made by Joel stuff is my favorite.  Hank: I started this one. Is it Paris? Me: Yes. Hank: Isn't that where the The Red Balloon is from? Me: Yes, they shot the movie The Red Balloon in Paris. Hank: Look at this boy. He looks like Pascal. Can you make me a red balloon? Then we can make this whole city and pretend the whole movie. Me: That sounds like the most fun ever. Hank: It will be a lot of work, a lot of coloring and a lot of cutting. Me: The best play takes work. I am up for a challenge. How 'bout you? Hank: Always. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Balloon Our reenactment of The Red Balloon with sets designed by Made by Joel - Modern Art, Kids Crafts, and Toys :http://madebyjoel.com/2011/08/paper-city-paris.html.
