Last week I was putting together a presentation for a family education night at the public Montessori school where I work, and I asked Matt if he would watch a video with me about how to raise a child in a Montessori home.
We watched the amazing film together: Edison's Day (digression: I highly recommend you watch it if you're a parent or parent-to-be, and I also recommend that you buy it for anyone who is pregnant). Matt and I were equally inspired by the video and both committed to implementing the principles in our home whenever we have a child (hooray for being on the same page about parenting!).
Then Matt suggested we do a yoga video together (hooray for having such a good influence in my life!).
Then I went off to study my Spanish in the bedroom, while he watched sports on his computer in the dining room (hooray for maintaining and pursuing our separate interests!).
Here's to celebrating relationships and marriages alongside weddings...

Ooooh great idea! I just found out I'm pregnant and I think that would be a great tool to use.
Edison's Day sounds cool, but would love to see a preview of it before I buy it, if ever. Do you think I could borrow your copy? I'm thinking of getting certified to teach Montessori but still thinking about that.
Hey Therese! I actually borrowed it from the Montessori training center in town to show at the parent event. The video was such a hit with parents that I'm going to talk to our principal about purchasing it for the school. If that happens, you can check it out from the school. Also, let me know if you ever want to chat about Montessori training. Be well...
