Summer Reading? It’s in the bag.

Summer Reading? It’s in the bag.

We hit up the library last week, an activity that has become much more highly anticipated since Little Man has been reading on his own. I love the library for a few reasons. One being that there is a book for everything – and everyone. For an eclectic gal, like myself, that is very satisfying. […]

Grooming Kind and Creative MacGyvers : Homemade Fun

Grooming Kind and Creative MacGyvers : Homemade Fun

Worm houses, digging for creatures, getting dirty, touching stuff that might make us itch, climbing to that point in which we feel a quiver in our gut (and surely set one in mama’s).

Nature Hike – Journey Journal

I grew up with an adorable little custom playhouse in the backyard of my childhood home. Mom & Dad moved it in and built and created all the fixings for the inside. We entered […]

Nature Mobile

Still blending the natural with the brilliant around here. We’re on a roll, judging by the last couple of project posts. The Adventure Sticks served us well on our nature hike last week; locking our keys in the car at the nature park and one babe plunging into the river head first, not so much. After […]
