our first experience with nature journaling
On Wednesday (1.12.22), the kids and I went to a nearby park and met with our homeschool group to learn about nature journaling. Of course, it was more in depth than my littles could retain – but the basic message was get outside. take time outside. draw, trace, etc. what you see and keep it […]
2021 in review
Unexpectedly, I’ve found that one of my favorite times of the year is that week between Christmas & New Years. I find myself excited for the potential and freshness of a new year and all the year in review stuff just brings me joy. My word for 2021 was Grow. When I first brought this […]

baby, it’s cold outside
it’s been in the 50’s around here lately (and 30’s at night), but the Shaver Crew prioritizes time outside no matter the temperature. That means we bundle up and embrace the quote “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes.” I’m really not a mom that cares if the kids get dirty. if […]
