Post contains affiliate links but all opinions are my own. Books are one of the great loves of my life (after my husband and kids, I guess…wink, wink). Seriously, one of the best anniversaries that Michael and I celebrated was when we spent a couple hours browsing a used book store and then visited the art museum. He won my heart again with that date plan.

 “...I have a regard for children’s little treasures, and think they should be treated respectfully.” - Louisa May Alcott This post contains affiliate links, but all opinions are my own.
It doesn’t matter where you live, if your children go outside, they will find interesting discoveries out there and want to bring them inside. When my Bigs were littler, we would walk through our suburban neighborhood to the library every week and come home with more than just books. Usually, it was rocks, sticks, leaves, or prickly gumballs: nature treasures found along the way. As a toddling two year old, William loved rescuing earthworms on the sidewalk - even the dried-up, shriveled ones. I cringed slightly and encouraged him to leave them in the grass because I didn’t want dead earthworms in my house. For the first few years of my kids’ lives, I treated nature finds like an unpleasant task - something I had to put up with.  This post contains affiliate links, but all opinions are my own.
We have wild grapevines everywhere. Yes, everywhere. They grow up the trees and over the bushes, strangling out the sturdiest plants. I was looking at a pile of them last fall, thinking about how useless they were. But, the thought crossed my mind – is this what grapevine wreaths are made of?! Is it as simple as using these weeds? Yes, it is! And, it’s super easy. |
