In the inaugural episode of the Bold Little Minds MomCast, Krissy shares her journey and excitement about launching the podcast, reflecting on family life and a significant backyard renovation. The highlight is an interview with Reem, a stay-at-home mom and former teacher, who discusses her transition from teaching to full-time motherhood, especially after her third child's medical challenges. Themes of fostering children's independence, school readiness, and building resilience through diverse experiences are explored. Emotional narratives touch on the complexities of parenting multiple children, particularly with medical needs during COVID-19, and balancing home and hospital life. The discussion underscores the evolution of motherhood, highlighting the ongoing process of learning, adapting through various stages, and celebrating small victories. Practical advice on sensory activities, structured routines, and leveraging social media for parenting tips are also shared, as Reem promotes her educational resources and forthcoming workshops.

In my last post, I introduced the exciting project of transforming my backyard into a Montessori and Waldorf inspired play space on a budget. Today, I’m thrilled to share the first project in this series: turning a fallen tree into a nature's playground. This creative reuse project not only saves money but also brings a unique, natural element to our backyard.

Welcome to our summer adventure! This season, we're turning our backyard into a magical play space inspired by Montessori and Waldorf principles. As a parent, I want to create a nurturing and fun environment where my kids can explore, learn, and grow. So, I’ve decided to embark on this DIY project that’s budget-friendly and brimming with creativity and possibilities.
