Color Walk
This is such a fun way to get outside, especially in the spring, and have the kids notice and search for all of the colors all around. So simple and so fun.

Virginia is for lovers
Virginia is one special place. I love it for so many reasons- too many to count. One fun thing is that Virginia has love signs dotted all over the map. They are signs made out of any material and it is so fun to go on adventures to find them. One year for Valentine’s Day,…

a little less little
written 21 marzo 2024 Most of the time I don’t feel it. I’m just going. But the smallest things will stop me in the quietest moments. Folding laundry and noting how small the socks are. Are they too small now? The little clothes in the donate pile because they’re just a little too little now.…

the world’s best frog catcher
Milo loves catching frogs. No, let me rephrase that- Milo lives to catch frogs. It is a regular outing we go on. Even if we are just going on a walk or a bike ride, he will find places along the way to look for frogs. And more often than not, he will actually find…

Lois 4 months
