Lets Play a Game. If you Had...

Lets have some fun this morning! If you had $___ what would you buy?

One rule, you have to spend the money.

I'll start.

If you had:

$1: Wendy's Crispy Chicken Sandwich

$10: A new pair of Forever 21 sunglasses. Henry destroyed my last pair, so cheap and cute are my number one priorities.

$100: A really nice pair of good fitting jeans.

$1,000: A Canon DSLR camera. I haven't done enough research to pick a specific model.

$100,000: A vacation for all my family and friends. Maybe a cruise. Maybe not (considering recent events).

$1,000,000: A house, specifically something like this! But not that neighborhood.

Now its your turn! Leave your answers in the comments, or if you have a blog write your own post and link it back here!

$1-a Cherry Coke. It's been forever.

$10-a bottle of wine

$100-a large photo collage and floating shelves

$1,000-wait, you mean I can't pay off debt? if that's the case, I think a long weekend away in Duluth/Two Harbors sounds amazing

$100,000-uff da! Definitely to either buy a large plot of land or buy a starter home that's a bit of a fixer upper.

$1,000,000-new cars, new house on lots of land and since we have to spend it, I'd host yummy dinners for fam/friends and have a maid to clean every week.

The Ultimate Montessori Toy List -- Birth to Five -- UPDATED 2020

When you are interested in Montessori, it can be difficult to know exactly what types of products you should get for your home. Or which types of "Montessori" materials are really worth the price. There are no rules about types of products can use the name Montessori which can add to the confusion. Not to mention, every toy manufacturer slaps the word "educational" on the package for good measure! 2020 UPDATE: This list is updated for another year! Enjoy a variety of Montessori friendly finds from both major retailers and smaller shops! So, with this post, I'm going to try to help with this confusion! Here's a list of Montessori-friendly toys and materials for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. First, let's clarify that there is no such thing as a "Montessori toy." Montessori never created toys, but only works for classroom settings. While there are many works that I recommend for home school use, you won't find these

Sensitive Periods from Birth to 6 - A Chart and Guide

Dr. Maria Montessori spent her life observing, studying, and writing about children. During her lifetime of work she discovered that young children move through a series of special times when they are particularly attracted to specific developmental needs and interests. She called these times, sensitive periods. During the sensitive period, children learn skills related to the sensitive period with ease. They don't tire of that work, but seek it, crave it and need it. When the sensitive period passes, this intense desire is gone, never to return. That doesn't mean the skill is lost forever once the sensitive period is over. Instead, it just means that it will take a more conscious effort to learn. As Dr. Montessori explains, This post contains affiliate links at no cost to you. "A child learns to adjust himself and make acquisitions in his sensitive periods. These are like a beam that lights interiorly a battery that furnishes energy. It is this sensibility which enables

Working from Home with Kids - A Montessori Schedule

One part of my life that I haven't talked a ton about here on The Kavanaugh Report is how I'm a work-from-home parent. Eight years ago I started to work at home while parenting full time. For the first several years, I worked as a legal writer while maintaining this space on the side. When Gus was born, I moved into working on sharing our Montessori life full time. It has blossomed into a full time career sharing content here, teaching courses, and now the podcast! Through it all, my kids have been home with me. This all seems more relevant to so many of us now that Covid-19 has closed schools and forced parents to stay at home and work while caring for children. I'm not going to lie - it's tough. It's hard to balance work and kids, especially when children are used to a completely different routine. But, it's not impossible! And, it can even be enjoyable. As I talk about in my podcast Shelf Help , we block our days into 3 hours groups. It helps
