Today's incredible giveaway is from
Wiwiurka who offers handmade wooden play structures and heirloom toys. We have their
trapeze bar and
wooden climber and I just can not say enough good things about them! All three of my
squirrels children spend a good portion of their days playing on them. Climbing is such an important developmental activity for children. My children had endless trees to climb back in Oregon but here in Idaho tree sightings are few and far between, and when we do see them, most are not suitable for climbing. I am so grateful for Wiwiurka's wooden climber because of this. Now my children get the climbing they need, even in the suburban desert!
In their own words:
Tell us a bit more about yourselves:
Ana: I am a Mom of three little girls who are my main inspiration. I am behind the sales, promotion and custom service of our family business. I enjoy crafting more than anything else in the world, lol. We live in a quaint Mexican mountainous village. Surrounded by the beauty and calmness of the forest.
How did your business begin?
Several years ago, my husband came up with the idea to build wooden playgrounds using reclaimed wood from his tree work. The first swing set was made when my eldest daughter was 2 months old. Eventually the idea of the Climber /Wiwiurka Monkey Bars were born.
Marek: (who is from Germany), Climbing Trees is part of my work, which I have enjoyed since childhood. Even though climbing is essential in proper development and gross motorskills; children no longer have time or opportunities to climb trees. Now as a team, we spend our days thinking of, sketching, making and testing new playstrcutures and wooden toys. Most of our toys are made from the reclaimed wood of avocado, oak, ash, guavo, citrus and cedar trees.
What are your biggest influences?
The beauty of the forest and the organic shapes from the trees.
Where did your business name came from?
Since I love to climb trees, squirrel seemed appropriate. To honor my Polish heritage, I chose squirrel in Polish-Wikiwurka.
What is your favorite product?
The wooden climber. We never tire of watching children using it. It is a must in every home, day care and school. It's such a beautiful piece; also made from reclaimed wood. Since it's such a popular product, we are currently out of stock! Though coming soon!

Let the baby knitting commence! I just love how small everything is and how fast it knits up. I have a feeling this little sweater will be done in just a few more days. I already know which button will be perfect for it, too.
She still wears her crown
...and so does her baby!
Little brother is so smitten with her

Birthday gifts - sweater and unabridged Black Beauty
(surprisingly, an unabridged copy was hard to find!)
Tea party at the library in town
Birthday swimming
Truly best friends

Birthday "cake" - raw vegan pumpkin maple pie from Oh She Glows (k's request and oh so good!)
K turned ten over the weekend. Ten! How did we already reach double digits?! We celebrated our sweet girl with a lot of pumpkin and apple baking and cooking (as usual), an afternoon tea party with friends and some family swimming. It was very much a "K day".
Ha! I gave up at that point. Silly sister love. We'll try to get some better ones another day.
My sweet girlies were in a parade over the weekend with their new American Heritage Girls troop. They had such a great time, even though the sun was beating down on them and the heat was a bit unbearable. My C surprised me by coming out of her shell quite a bit, making new friends and waving to the onlookers. She told me she wished that it never came to an end.
What are these adorable girls crowding around?
Why, our Paw Paw of course! Kevin brought him with us to the parade and everyone fell in love with him. I can't say I blame them, he is quite the handsome dog. Although he is also the most stubborn dog I have ever known.
Just because this sign cracked me up, and I knew my friend Fida would appreciate it.
I have been putting it off for quite awhile but I can't avoid it any longer. It's time for the math gnomes to come out and teach C the four processes. I am truly making it a bigger deal than it really is and I saw that as I was rereading the curriculum today, but I still have this feeling of dread going in to it all. Time to go finalize her lesson plans for the week and conquer my fear. Wish me luck!
