• The At-Home Summer Nature Camp ecurriculum from A Natural Nester is available for pre-order.  I’m honored to be a small part of this ecurriculum as a contributor and an affiliate. The kids and I are looking forward to participating this Summer.

I wasn’t online too much, as we were trying to keep as screen free as possible, but I did do a bit of reading online here and there.

Mostly this week ha been about library books, porch swings, art projects, and walks around the block.  I think this bodes well for the rest of the season, don’t you?

Have a wonderful weekend, friends!
