Do you know what Fall is perfect for? Some fun seed activities for kids! All of our plants have gone to seed, so we are finding so many treasures outside. It is amazing to see all of the different types of seeds. I thought I would compile a list of some seed activities for kids…
Finding a Focus to our Days
It is so easy to get caught up in the busy-ness of life, isn’t it? I know it can’t be just me. I find this feeling especially elevated at this time of year. As I am planning our coming homeschool year I find myself easily swept away with the amazing curriculum, classes, and activities available…

The Best Casseroles to Gift a Friend
