We spent the day at the Liberty Science Center in We spent the day at the Liberty Science Center in my home state of New Jersey this week! My son had a blast exploring all of the exhibits, especially the butterfly house and the car racing track. He is slowly adjusting to the travel life and loving unlimited time with his papa, who normally works full time during the week. 

Do you have a science center or children’s museum near you? Have you been with your kids? Share your experiences in the comments!

Today we are checking out the National Museum of M Today we are checking out the National Museum of Mathematics in New York City! There are tons of cool interactive things related to math here, but my son loves this pattern creator. You put a paint brush in little cups and it changes the colors you paint on the screen. It makes beautiful patterns every time! My son is absolutely obsessed with numbers, patterns and shapes right now, so this museum is the perfect place to spend a rainy day on vacation. #newyorkcity #montessorimath #momath #nationalmuseumofmathematics #montessoritravel #montessorionthego
819 days. That’s how long Covid kept us out of t 819 days. That’s how long Covid kept us out of the US. Away from my extended family. My son wasn’t even walking the last time we were here. My daughter was just a dream of a second child. 

One week ago, we boarded a plane from Berlin to Newark. I cried tears of joy when we touched down. It still feels surreal. I love living in Germany, but these last two years have been the hardest since I moved abroad in 2009. 

Watch this space in the next few weeks for more travel updates and tips for traveling with young kids! Comment below with what you want to know about traveling and Montessori. 🛫🌎🏙

If you saw my posts, then you know that the Winter If you saw my posts, then you know that the Winter MEGA Bundle is here. Today, I wanted to show you a few of my favorite resources from the bunch. Resources that make it worth buying.

- These printable color tablets from @littlesparketsy are a great alternative to traditional wooden color tablets! They fulfill the same learning goals for your child at a fraction of the cost. Just a single set of wooden color tablets can cost more than $40 alone! 
- Also included from @littlesparketsy is a winter color study featuring beautiful artwork. It is a great accompaniment to the color tablets and provides a winter themed extension to sensorial work for your child.
- These CVC Word printables from @achildhoodsetapart feature gorgeous watercolor artwork and support early reading exercises for your child. These would be great for a preschool/kindergarten aged child that has already mastered letter sounds and blends. 
- For the math inclined child, @montessoriinspiredco contributed a wonderful snowflake themed activity to use in conjunction with the colored bead stairs. What a great way to add some winter themed math materials to your child’s activities!
- The seasons bundle from @autonomy_education will satisfy your child’s curiosity about our planet and it’s unique seasons. I know my son is super interested in this topic right now as the weather changes throughout winter! 

If you were to buy 2 - 3 of these printables you would pay $25 collectively. But with the bundle, you pay $25 for the whole collection. So, basically you are getting about 2,400 pages of beautiful and meaningful educational printables for free!

Check the link in my bio to visit the landing page with all the latest information on the printables included, which are mostly from the recent Fall Mega Bundle, and the pricing options. 

This bundle is available in French, Spanish and German. It is not only a great bundle of resources for bilingual families to support a minority language at home, but can be used to support foreign language instruction at school or introduce a new language in the home! 

Let me know in the comments below which language you are interested in! I am excited to see what you all can do with these printables in your homes!

Did you know, learning a new language improves mem Did you know, learning a new language improves memory and makes your child a better communicator?
Additionally, because of the brain’s elasticity and rapid neural formation, babies and young children can learn languages at a much faster rate?

But you might be wondering why am I saying all this?

Well, I am an primary school teacher in Germany. I teach in an inner city school in Germany where a large majority of my students speak a language at home that is not spoken at school. I teach many subjects, but as a native English speaker, I end up with mostly English as a foreign language classes. So I have a lot of first hand experience in observing bilingual and multilingual children in classroom setting, as well as in my home, since my son is growing up bilingual from birth.

I have offered my printables in my Etsy store in both English and German since I started. That’s why I am so excited to announce that tomorrow is the release of the very first multilingual mega bundle. This bundle will be released in French, German and Spanish!  It includes a wide variety of printables, including my classic car language, math and sensorial/fine motor bundles. 

Come back to my account tomorrow for the big release! The link to purchase the bundle will be live first thing tomorrow morning in my bio, so don’t miss it.

I thought for a long while about whether I would p I thought for a long while about whether I would post this. It isn’t related to what I normally post and I don’t normally share a ton of private information on this account, but I feel like sharing my experience could help someone else in theirs. 

I am part of the 1 in 4 who have experienced pregnancy loss. I am currently 28 weeks pregnant with a wonderfully healthy baby and after 5 rounds of fertility treatment, two of which ended in chemical pregnancies, I am truly grateful for that! But I am also carrying my baby‘s twin, whose heart stopped beating sometime around 13-14 weeks ago. It has been a rough journey and I am still in the process of grieving. I am walking down a path I never imagined I would need to and it is full of the joy of expecting a new baby, the pain of losing one all wrapped together and the fear of the unknown as I continue this pregnancy. 

So to all those who walk through this or anything like it: you are heard, your grief is valid and your child will always be your child.
