I have been meaning to write this post for a long time. These outdoor books are some our family’s favourite alongside some of the Born to be Adventurous’ reader suggestions. In this post I have included storybooks, chapterbooks, outdoor “how to” books and some outdoor parenting books that help you get outside and explore with…
It is finally here! This months activity calendar. I know I am behind but I thank you so much for your patience. Life happens. Like most people, I am feeling pulled in a 100 million directions. I find myself ignoring the reality of the world these days. I was thankful when I put out the…
I love hearing from you. That is right, I love hearing from my readers. It honestly makes me do a couple of things. First, I do a happy dance. Then, I go tell my husband that someone cared about what I was creating and writing with the largest smile on my face. Then, he says…
