Montessori education information from a Montessori teacher and Mom. Personal art work and journal entries about my life as a busy Mom of three sons ranging in age from 7 years to 21 years. My hope: To create a place where parenting questions can be answered and conversations as well as ideas shared.

Time for a Change
Okay, so I changed the back ground here at Montessori Mama. Thoughts? Like/dislike?
I'm interested to know your opinions.
Change can be difficult but also magical. A close friend recently said to me,
"Birth is painful, but oh sooooo full of promise."
Both times that I was able to give birth naturally (and especially throughout my C-section with Middle Man), I have felt close to death....just in that moment before everything changed for the better and the baby came.
I remember my mid-wives saying that our greatest wisdom about what we are capable of comes from being observant in that moment. As a mother going through it and as a witness to birth.
Right now I feel as though I am going through that moment emotionally and I am trying to be observant and learn from all that has been said and not said, and I am really trying to be a listener of my own heart.
And good things are happening. I am surrounded by supportive people throughout this process of transformation and I am especially grateful for their love and support.
I am broadening my circle and opening myself to new opportunities. It is hard but feels liberating. Sometimes the sacrifices we make for our families are enormous...but in my heart I know I am doing the best thing for these boys of mine.
In PEACE,
J

Ooo...I like the background. Its kinda funky.
Hi Montessori Mom, Would you be able to share your Art Curriculum with a Montessori teacher--me and my good friend who teaches art at school. I use the Childsize Masterpiece program, have a art shelf set up with individual activities and yippy-getting a carpentry table and light table this fall. Thanks for the wonderful blog.
