There’s still time to win this wonderful book Steady Days by mommy blogger, enter to win at this giveaway from Erin at exhale.return.to.center. while you’re at it, see what’s cooking this February!
Around the Internet
Plan ahead for Valentines Day, instead of Hallmark cards find unique ones like these from Maine based artists.
From National Wildlife, here are some great ways to spend your outside time with children. (BYM Note: The best is always to let the children lead and you follow!)
Everyone doesn’t get snow in the winter, so Adventuroo compiled this great list of lists from around the blogosphere in her effort to find something fun to do with her son when the snow came. How do you spend time in the snow?
For beginner gardeners, or folks like me who just might want some guidance, here is a great offer from Alison of Loving Natures Garden.
In case you are planning a special night in to celebrate February, or any other time of the year, consider greening your next dinner party.
Back Home In My Backyard
We have had a wonderful week of sunshine (and a dusting of snow). It has been delightful to play outside, and absorb some vitamin D.
I am “breaking” from spending tons of time on twitter, facebook and in the blogosphere. My family needs my attention. I need my attention.
My numbers on this blog are really not changing; I am re-evaluating whether or not to continue blogging as the summer comes and I want to spend more time “walking my talk” and get outside!
I will be present a workshop titled Nature Play: Learning through Wonder at the RI Early Childhood Conference in May! I am very excited about this!
I am thinking about preschools for my little adventurer, Waldorf? Montessori? Stay Home? Nature? These small choices are such a great responsibility.
That’s it folks. If you’re out there reading… have a great mid-week. Many blessings!
