Around the Internet
I’m not sure which of Debi’s recent posts is my “favorite”, but since someone has suggested that I add more information for city folk, I want to include her Finding Nature in the City post here. And I also want to point you to Backyard Wildlife Watching, cause it doesn’t take a country or suburban setting to find great critters in your own backyard!
This post, All About Bird Nesting is full of resources and information about helping the birds build their new homes this year! What fun!
Everyone I meet is springing with joy for this new season and the new growth of this year, Suzi created this amazingly beautiful post Spring Inspiration, and I gently recommend that all lovers of poetry and pictures take a minute to check this out!
If you strive for a Litter Free Lunch, read this review from My Green Side and check out this special offer to green your snacks!
In case my post about Gardening with Kids didn’t inspire you, check out this one from Frugal Philly Mom and see how she incorporates learning and gardening!
Another of my passions is childbirth and care of young children. I was delighted to read that the Navajo have some of the best safe birthing statistics in the country.
On that same note, obesity prevention really needs to start when babies are little, even in the womb. It’s really time to look at the nitty gritties of this vicious cycle. (More time outside would surely help!)
For those of you looking for good reads on your picnic, or perhaps you’re looking to garden or teach kids about healthy eating through reading about gardening here are 5 Great Reads for Kids.
Back Home in My Backyard
Seeds just came in today!
Kids are all sleeping right now we’ve been playing outside so much lately they are pooped!
Rototilled a new row and planning to pick up some manure tomorrow as additive to our wonderful soil! Yum!
Lettuce has sprouted!
And I am thinking of making some changed to my What’s Happening Wednesday. Time makes it difficult to find all the best articles out there each week… so I want to make this a link up.
It will go something like this: Each Wednesday I will write a post on a specific topic, I will invite my wonderful blogging community to link up to this post so we as a community have a resource of great information on roughly the same topic.
So, next wednesday’s topic is “learning through play in nature“.
Check back Monday for details and all the rules!
Hope you come link up next week!
