Hi, I'm Tat. I believe that through motherhood we're given another chance to find ourselves, grow and shine. I have three beautiful children and I learn a lot from them every day. This year I'm searching for ease in everything I do.
Going to the park and feeding the ducks is a favourite activity with my lot, even now they are teens

Looks like great fun for kids, if you add playing on the grass with a tennis ball (because tennis is in everyone’s nature!), then what more could a kid want!

Love the pictures and the ideas – they can be worked into any day! We go for drives and walk trails with a “pic nik” the ids have packed. We take pictures and for this year we are going to study plants in the area. Like Poison ivy…pictures only!!!

I love your post ..it is simple but effective…another tip…is a stamping art effect on paper with different materials..like leaves, potatoes is a good one cut in half and the kids can dip it in paint and stamp it on the paper….thank you for sharing

Thanks everyone, I have enough ideas now for a follow-up post
There is nothing better than the simple, low cost of nature ambles. As the kids get older, a cheap digital camera is a handy tool to keep them aware of their surroundings. When friends come over to play, I often write up a scavenger hunt list and send them into the yard to find 10 things. It’s great to watch and ensures outside time in a screen-time world!

Lightning bugs!! My kids, born and raised in the South where there are no fireflys, are obsessed with them! I’m trying to get them to remember to cut holes in the lids of whatever container they are using… silly city kids!!
We’re following you now from TTT.
