Im really excited to announce that we are participating in the first annual Great Homeschoolers Quest!! One House School Room is a great blog full of tips, printables, and homeschooling information galore! This year they are starting their annual GHQ (Great Homeschoolers Quest) and We are super happy to be a part of this. You dont have to be a homeschooler to participate nor do you have to homeschool to read their blog. There is a ton of great information on their site for non-homeschoolers as well. So, to find the information on the Great Homeschoolers Quest, check out this URL. It is set up like a scavenger hunt, unlike some other give-aways we have participated in, and I think that is really neat. It will make those that are searching for the icon to really look at our products! Yay!! :) Hopefully along the way, you find some really great etsy shops and items and you can start your Christmas shopping early! (yes, i totally just mentioned holiday shopping. Yikes, it will be here before we all know it!!)
Having said that, I hope you all participate and have fun!!! :)

Baby Bungalow Giveaway on The mommy dialogues :)
Well, here it is, April. I feel like this year is just flying by! So much has happened in the few weeks that have passed and before we all know it, summer will be here and the kids will be off of school. The Baby Bungalow has been really fortunate this year on so many levels. Hopefully we can continue to grow and continue to create wonderful open ended toys based on montessori and waldorf teachings for all your babes/toddlers/families to enjoy together. :)
I am hoping that everyone had a wonderful Easter, Spring Equinox, Passover and that you were all able to relax a little bit.

Sew and sow
I have been Sewing and sowing a lot lately.
Sewing for the shop and family. I made some Easter presents and I am working on something new for the store. Hopefully I can do a sneak peek of that tomorrow, or at least this week.
I finally have all the seeds planted for our summer garden. Today I noticed that many of them are actually starting to grow! I love a good veggie garden in my backyard. I enjoy the easiness of walking out back and picking what veggies and herbs I want for a meal, it's a great feeling. More than that though, I really love teaching my daughter this way of life...it's a little simpler and it will teach her to appreciate where her food comes from and in my family, it's all about the food.
I suppose next I will work on the flower boxes but that always is hard because I never can really decide what flowers I want to plant where....for some reason flowers bring out the indecisiveness in me. I just love all of them and want them, well, pretty much everywhere. :)
I'm also really excited about some new solar lights that I got for our outdoor patio area. I just hope that the bugs aren't so bad this year that we can't enjoy the outdoors. One can never tell I suppose.

Terrific Thursday!!
Okay, so, bare with me everyone as I am new to the whole blogging scene...and i will try to blog at least once every week or 10 days. (things tend to get busy, rather quite hectic around here).
I am really excited because someone graciously gave me a band saw. oooh the things (toys) that i have been dreaming up for that new gadget. :) We are going to pick it up today and i cant wait to get to work on it.
I feel like I am caught up with everything at the shop, all the toys I wanted to get on etsy are online, I finally made a batch of my sealer and all i really need to do is put everything away. Today i start "sew day". So, once i put everything away, ill get all my sewing machine out and i will be starting 2 slings! I have decided to do these 2 slings a little differently. I am really excited about them, so i will post when they are finished. :)
Im hoping that the sun will pop out today too at some point. Maybe once my girly has slept a good nap, we will take a walk....

First Blog Post
Here is to my first blog post! For months now i have been saying that i am going to start a blog for the baby bungalow and FINALLY i am doing it! :) Cheers to many good things that this blog will bring, which also includes some sanity for myself. (lol)
Anyway, The baby bungalow has been up and running now for almost a year...just a few months shy. Im extremely blessed for all the sales that we have had and hope that this continues to happen. I really have to give the Thanks to my daughter because, it is for her that i even started this etsy shop: I wanted to give her good quality toys that enable her to learn and discover all on her own. Trust me, my house is not full of just eco-friendly toys and non-plastic items but, i do encourage my waldorf and montessori toys more than others. Besides, every time i told someone "no toys" for birthday/xmas, i got "those looks". So, for now i am letting that battle alone.
Even though I am only a part time stay at home mom for right now, I love every minute of it. The days are hectic and full of art and teachings, even at this young age. Amelia is finally napping, after 30 minutes of talking to herself in her crib. I am waiting on some more stock to arrive today to get to work on but, in the mean time, i have some montessori puzzlers to work on, painting, sealing and a few other things, and that is just for the shop. After that, i have a photo course to get lesson plans ready for, a gift to crochet, a house to clean, some puppies to love on, and family time. (good thing we did our beach bike ride early today :)) But these are the things that make me love my every dayness and everything is just that much more special
