Moon Sighting! Taken at a neighborhood park.

I am a nature-lover who wants to share that passion with my children. I am currently staying at home with my kiddos and am constantly looking for ways to maintain my sanity while continuously reading “Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?” and listening to the monologue of my 6-year-old detailing every thought that goes through her creative mind.

My last “how do I not go insane” venture was earning my Master’s in Education which exhausted my GI Bill forcing me to find my sanity elsewhere. To meld my M.Ed. and my love of nature I created this page. I will share what I learn from our own adventures, offer ideas for incorporating outdoor activities into busy schedules, and note the research that is constantly being published revealing the importance of incorporating nature into every childhood… and every adulthood.
