ReplyDeleteErin B
I just found your blog a week or so ago (through Amanda) and you've already risen to one of my top 6 blogs to check every day....
ReplyDeleteI love your creativity! I'm a stay at home mom of 2, and we're "home learning." Incorporating a little Waldorf, a little Montessori, and a whole lot of Charlotte Mason. :o)
All three of your patterns are my favorite! Unfortunately I don't have any tiny people to carry around in your carrier, but I could use either of the other ones! (and if a tiny person ever happens our way again, you can be sure I'll be back to buy that mei tai!)
Count me in! I just started working at a Montessori school as was thrilled to stumble upon your lovely blog. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteBritt
Please add me to the mix for the drawing, and to the list of happy readers!
ReplyDeleteMeg,
ReplyDeleteI have been stalking your blog since I found it. Love your pictures and patterns. Thank you for doing this.
Hanane
Seriously, I love this blog. It is so much fun to pop in here and see your cheery images, read your words, and get inspired. Thanks for the fun stuff...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the milestone! Great blog.
ReplyDeleteWOOOO HOOO! Givaways!! Pick me Random Number Genorator!!!
ReplyDeleteFirst time to your site and I CAN see what all the fuss is about. I got my Montessori training in West Texas and all of my children have benefitted from a montessori way of life.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through another one, and since I will be staying home next year with our 2 yo and a newborn, I am getting all sorts of ideas of what to do from your blog - songs, yoga, etc. (I am not a natural mama like some people.) Thanks for your blog!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you've had 94 comments! I'd love one of your patterns, I've used several of your ideas for our homeschool!
ReplyDeleteLike lots of others I got here through Soule Mama. I stay at home with my two toddlers and I'm very interested in Montessori--for us it makes so much sense, how could it not be a natural part of everyday life?
ReplyDeleteI also love to sew and love your patterns. I make lots of baby slings, but have yet to try a mei tai.
Thanks for sharing such wonderful thoughts!
Happy 100, Meg! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for 100 posts of inspiration. Happy blogsday.
ReplyDeleteLisa
Ditto what everyone else said, I think 98 times already :) Congratulations on such a beautiful blog!

ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog - craft and Montessori in one place, what more could you want?
Congrats on your 100th post! I discovered your blog a couple of weeks ago. I have a young one and hope to teach her crafting too!
ReplyDeleteloving your blog, really inspiring, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 100 posts! I love your blog. It's very insprirational. I actually looked into becoming a Montessori teacher because of you and this blog. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled onto your blog earlier this week and spent a few hours one evening reading through all of your archives. I am a new mom (3 1/2 months) and already thinking about the best place for my son when I return to work next year. My dearest hope is that we can find someone like YOU!
ReplyDeleteCount me in. I'd love to have any of your patterns, especially the pillow.
ReplyDeletehappy 100th.
ReplyDeleteLOve your blog :)
I'd love your patterns, and I'd love the chance to try one. (I'm a novice, so I'd also make a good beta tester, should be need one.)
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. Montessori is something I've always thought was intriguing, and reading this blog is giving me insights into the workings of a Montessori classroom.
I love your blog! I enjoy hearing ideas from someone actually teaching by the Montessori method. Thanks for the insights and inspiration.
ReplyDeletelove your blog! i plan to make some reading pillows for christmas!
