Leaf-y Jack-o-lantern

October 25, 2021 by Sarah 2 Comments

We headed out for our annual trip to a special conservation area over the Thanksgiving weekend (I know, it is early here in Canada – or so I’m told. As a born and raised Canadian it is just normal to me …) This year I brought this little gem along. Worked out beautifully for the…

Beautiful outdoor play spaces that incorporate natural elements

Gorgeous and Inviting Outdoor Play Spaces

February 24, 2019 by Sarah 2 Comments

Spring is almost here — time to wake up from my hibernation and get these little cubs of mine outside! The warm sunshine never fails to make me want to spruce up our outdoor play spaces. We like to keep outdoor play, well, natural I suppose. So when I am planning outdoor play spaces for…

A Clay Birds Nest

May 23, 2018 by Sarah 2 Comments

Looking to make a bird’s nest? Us too! Who wouldn’t be?! It is spring after all, so crafting must take a healthy nature twist as we readjust ourselves to being outside more. In fact, last spring we dissected a bird’s nest and I declared then and there that we would be attempting to make one….

Making a Splash with Origami Boats

March 23, 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

It all started so innocently. One paper hat. One single, little paper hat. How was I to know that an origami epidemic was about to happen? It turns out origami is a rather addictive type of paper craft for kids. One hat turns into many, which turn into planes, frogs, and boats too. (post contains…

These are great ideas to get the kids outside and exploring nature. Perfect for forest school and forest Kindergarten too.

Raising a Wild Child

September 14, 2016 by Sarah 1 Comment

My kids are actually very well behaved. They are calm, kind, and inquisitive – as long as they are outdoors. Put some walls around those boys of mine and sooner than later they will start to bounce off them. This will change with time of course, as they get older. But for now? I’m raising…

Tree Trunk Stoves

August 15, 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

If you have been around here for awhile you may recall our brush with Mother Nature last year. A great big brush. Actually more of a crack. Lighting struck one of our great big trees during a thunderstorm last summer. No one was hurt, and no property damage was done, and all-in-all it was quite…

Pole Bean Teepee {A Photo on Friday}

July 15, 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. (But I have a little story this Friday too …) Last year I shared a snap pea trellis fort I had made in the garden for my little ones. Not all of my ideas are fabulous (or in fact even good) and unfortunately…

A Portable Sandbox

May 25, 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Why this did not occur to me sooner I have no idea … I have had a game changing discovery — are you ready for it? A sandbox on wheels. Seems simple (which is actually beautiful) but think of the possibilities! I wrote all about it for Melissa and Doug – trust me friends, you…

Fun things to do in the snow with kids!

15 Fun Things to Do in the Snow!

January 13, 2016 by Sarah 2 Comments

I love the winter – but I haven’t always.  Truthfully, I use to really dislike it.  REALLY.  But, I love the outdoors and I love having my kids outside.  And where I live we have snow for a good 5 months of the year, which is a very long time to dislike something. So a…

Frozen Hats {A Photo on Friday}

July 10, 2015 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. And this is a cute one.  This is how a two year old looks when wearing a frozen hat … We made frozen hats by popping a wet sun hat in the freezer. We used hats that the boys had been wearing after…
