🌿 Nature is all around us. 🏔️ While the 🌿 Nature is all around us. 🏔️ While the mountains and forests are one of my favorite places, connecting to nature doesn’t have to mean experiencing it only in far away places. 🏠 Even in a very suburban neighborhood, there are beautiful nature moments all around us. 🧘🏻‍♀️ You just have to take that moment to pause and notice. 🌎 As we continue through Earth Month, pay attention to what nearby nature moments there are around you.

🌎 This earth month, amidst all of life’s dema 🌎 This earth month, amidst all of life’s demands, make it a regular habit to get your family outside and in nature. I know firsthand that getting out the door with kids—especially little ones—can feel like the biggest challenge. Having done it enough times, these are my go to’s for quick outdoor trips. ✅ diapers + wipes ✅ change of clothes ✅ water bottles ✅ sunscreen ✅ snacks ✅ mini first aid kit ✅ hand sanitizer ✅ doggie bags (for those epic blow outs) 🎒 Everything fits into a backpack and allows me to carry my youngest in a baby carrier. 🌿 Because time in nature = happy hearts, healthy minds, and deeper care for our planet. 💡Need some ideas for what to do once you’re out the door?

🌀 Messy garden, full heart. 👶🏻 Sometimes 🌀 Messy garden, full heart. 👶🏻 Sometimes outdoor time looks like garden clean up with a baby on your back! 🪴 Gardening is often messy— hands in the dirt, dirt under the nails, dust in the air both in the planting and clean up process. ☀️ This month, we are slowing working through turning our garden over from spring plants to summer. ✨ For us, gardening is about being outside, connecting with the earth, and showing our little ones the magic of growing things. 👩🏻‍🌾 Invite your kids into the process. Give them small tasks. My daughter’s job was to pull the snap pea tendrils off the arch. 🪣 Let them dig, explore, and get messy. Nature doesn’t need to be a destination—it can start right in your backyard. #greeningmyworld #gardeningwithkids #natureparenting #kidsinthegarden #getoutside #backyardgarden #gardencleanup #kidsoutside #outdoorparenting #babywearing
There’s always something to see in the garden. A There’s always something to see in the garden. And as the seasons change, it comes alive. Part of connection to nature is observing these seasonal changes and marveling at it each time. And this hot lips sage is a pollinator favorite, bringing in all sorts of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. #gardenviews #hotlipssage #perennialgarden #backyardgarden #natureconnection #naturemoments #nearbynature #seasonalchanges #seasons #pollinatorgarden #pollinatorfriendly
🪟 This strawberry was visible from our dining r 🪟 This strawberry was visible from our dining room and back door. 🍓 Strawberries are her favorite fruit. We can buy a whole Costco pack and she’ll be the only one to eat it in just a few days. None left for the grown ups. ❓Everyday since its red color started to show, my daughter has been asking if it’s ready. 🪴 She did help me plant it after all. 🐦 Our backyard gets a few visitors. Squirrels, birds, neighborhood cats. So we hid this one until it was ready to pick. Today, she asked again, “Is it ready?” “Yes baby girl” 🍓 And it is the perfect strawberry. #strawberry #strawberries #homegrown #kidsinthegarden #backyardgarden #natureconnection #growyourownfood #kidsoutside #outdoorparenting
