Edibles Scavenger Hunt

The other day the kids seemed like they needed a mission. We had read through the pages of Walking the World in Wonder: A Children’s Herbal (aff link) for the plants that we have in our yard a couple nights before. I put sticky notes on those pages and sent the kids into the yard with… Continue reading Edibles Scavenger Hunt

We’re faced with pressure from society, family, and friends and sometimes feel like we should go big, or go home (or rather, back to school). Even within the… Continue reading Just at the Neighbourhood Park
