Summer sure is flying right on by. It does have a way of doing that around here. Winters that go on, and on, and on (and on) and summers that vanish in a blink. But I will not let it slip away just yet. And we are going to squeeze each and every last drop…
Learning with nature: A printable summer bucket list!
Summer is here! The air is warm and the snow is gone, which is officially waking me from my hibernation. It is time for this Mama bear to venture back outside. Every year I tell myself I will learn to love winter. And every year I don’t. I don’t even like it, let alone love…

Gorgeous Fall Leaves Crafts
