Play

For those of you with small children this is a great way to spend some quality time and one on one interaction with your wee one. Nature, the best place (in my opinion) to be with your kids and absorb all the gifts it has to offer.........peace, tranquility, joy, excitement, learning. I know, that when my kids start to get a little rammy I immediately send them outdoors. We all go out, the little ones run and scream and laugh, somehow knowing that being there is exactly what they needed! Me too, not just for them.......but for me too!

Attached is a link to the Columbia Land Conservancy website that has (FREE) activities scheduled for young ones ages 3-6, although, I have learned that when you register just ask if there is room enough for a 2 year old, should that be the age of your little one. This is a parent/child class so it's a perfect opportunity to share some time with your little lovie.

I hope to see you there!!! http://clctrust.org/events/environmental-education/knee-high-naturalists/

Now is the time........

.......not yesterday or tomorrow because each one doesn't exist in this moment. Do something that will inspire, challenge, create, and bring joy to you, your family and friends, a stranger. How will you be remembered by those that know you? That is a big question to contemplate, but I always think "how will my children describe me to their grandchildren?" Will I be described as someone who was too busy to pay attention? Will I be described as someone who felt it was more important to mow the lawn than to be present in the lives of my children? Might they describe me as stingy and unwilling to give of myself to someone in need? Will they see me as someone who was unfulfilled because of my inability to see the forest for the trees.......someone who wouldn't settle for anything less than perfect and therefore was miserable because everything and everyone came up short? I hope not......that's why this page exists as a way to channel and share the things that I do and find as important tools to live a life with no time wasted and most importantly.....no regrets.
