Earth Week
This was our first year recognizing Earth Day. I checked out some crafts that we could make. But it all seemed pretty silly to me. Because why waste paper and time working on a project when we can be our there cleaning up our environment and learning through experience? Experiential learning is the best way […]
It was a beach kind of morning…
There are some days when you just have to forget it all and go to the beach.
Beach Discoveries
I know I’ve said this many times, but you really never know what you will find at the beach. It’s always different, even though it’s the same beach we visit all the time. The changing of tides and seasons make the beach change with them. Different types of shells come around and the beach itself […]
Treasure!
Imagination can take us anywhere as I note on a daily basis while listening to the adventures my children are having. One place I used to find myself when my thoughts would drift as a child, was on a beach in search of buried treasure. My children find themselves there as well and recently they […]
A Turtle Surprise
My lovely Laelia is going to be two in a week. Two! So, I wanted to take her to the beach to do some fun birthday pictures there. She was quite photogenic today and I was snapping her precious little self with my camera. When we were about done, the other two girls ran over […]
{A Pause for the Finer Things in Life}
Weekly, I post one or two pictures that demonstrate how the most simple things in life are, in fact, the finer things–those that mean the most and will be among the most precious of memories. So here is this week’s picture. Enjoy!
Celebration
Yesterday I posted pictures from Chloe’s baptism. What a great day it was! She did such a good job. I am so appreciative of the church we attend. We have been blessed by a loving group of people who truly love our family. Each one of us enjoys our time there and we look forward […]
Turtles
It’s that time of year again, when the mama Loggerhead Sea Turtles make their way up the beach to lay their many little eggs in the dunes of our precious beaches here in super sunny (and not very rainy these days) Florida.
Flowers in the Sand
When we were in the planning stages of our move to Florida, I used to sit at my window and watch the snowflakes falling on a couple feet of their already fallen buddies and wish for the morning when I could wake up and think, This feels like a beach morning! In my fantasy I’d grab our things […]
Beach Babes
I have found myself longing for the outdoors more and more these days and have been taking the girls outside as much as possible. Today was the perfect day. The temperature was 76 degrees. A light breeze was tickling our skin. The bright blue sky was feathered with beautiful cirrus clouds and on the horizon […]
