About Me


My name is Melanie. I’m a mom of 3 boys who are 5, 3 and 9 months old. We are a Montessori family who loves nature and art & crafts. We are a French-English bilingual family.

I am a former structural engineer turned stay at home mom at the beginning of 2018 so both my oldest boys went to a Montessori infant room at 12 weeks old. We discovered Montessori by luck when we found their first school. Now I have learned a lot more about the philosophy via their school, blogs and books and love it even more. That being said, we are not only Montessori and we have been adding some Reggio, loose parts and Charlotte Mason into our daily life.

We do these activities to complement school but especially to follow their interests or fulfill a need I see in them. In addition I have the very specific goal of teaching French vocabulary that wouldn't normally come up in everyday conversation.

I started this blog because I am passionate about nature, art and learning - and I love sharing this passion with other people.
