The Week in Photos
A collection of photos from highlights in the week, including last weekend at the lake. The lake is for sure a transformative place for me, and is quickly becoming so for our crew of kiddos. Fresh, crisp spring air flowing off the lake – and space. Space to roam, to play, to create, and to… Continue reading The Week in Photos

Scattering Seeds
Getting our hands dirty in the mud. Indoors. So much fun. Making seed bombs with great friends a couple weeks ago was a joyful activity – the kids had a blast studying the seeds with our amazingly effective pocket microscope, and then mixing them together with the clay, soil, and water.
