The kids are both excited to have their own nature journals!
These are both from Twig and Moth though we got them through the Early Learning Bundle and Intentional Homeschooling Bundle earlier this year.

Rae is one of those kids that runs out of time each day for all the ideas she has. She may get this trait from me . . . Today she is leading them in a twist on some games. We have a number of games we like to play together as a family and…
