Time marches on and we as adults do not take the time to stop and smell the roses.
Reminisce about those special times in our lives which define us in the most profound ways.
As a kasvataja at the Mudimaja, aka the Red House, Vana maja, Punane maja, I treasure watching my children playing on the swings, in the sandbox on endless summer days while making lasting friendships with eesti lapsed from all over Southern Ontario, USA and beyond. One memory shared by my son Erik was climbing the trees out front with his friends, way too high and getting heck for it!
Special cozy days doing crafts, singing and reading eesti muinasjutud every night as each child drifted off to sleep one by one.
Memories are priceless which is why we are asking you to give generously to the Red House Reno!!
