We live quite simply. You won’t find anything all that extravagant out here, and thanks to a big de-cluttering movement last year, you won’t find much at all, really. Not too many toys, or clothes, or “stuff.” With one exception. Books. We have bookshelves and bookshelves full of books. Mostly children’s books and hundreds of…

Winter Nature Walk Ideas
We have been spending more time indoors than usual lately. It is February, which is a month I am not too fond of, and it has been so cold! But today, we braved the weather and went for a winter nature walk. Like always, once we were all out in the woods, we had a…

I have made it a point not to begin the title of my posts with “The Best” … I know, as a blogger, that it is a good way to call attention to my post and maybe gain me a few new readers … however, being “the best” is not at all what this blog…
