Mountain Mother Runner

🍁 Each year we try to do new leaf activities like wax crayon rubbings, observation drawings, and color sorting. This time around, we put on our rain boots and explored the yard, collecting fairly flat items in a basket.  Autumn Suncatcher craft!  Capture the beauty of fall with this fun activity.  Lay one piece of wax paper out and arrange your leaves however you desire. Lay the other piece of wax paper on top (you want the shiny sides touching together), cover with a tea towel, and slowly iron until the wax pages fuse together. This may take longer than you expect, just lift the towel to check as you go. Cut out a frame using cardboard and tape along the backside so it isn’t showing. Hang in a window to allow light to shine through and enjoy your nature creation!  Supplies: •wax paper (2 sheets) •iron  •leaves/petals/nature goodies •cardboard  •tea towel (or pillowcase) •scissors •tape

Even though we weren’t exactly secluded, it was nice to be out in the woods, sharing company with nature. Our little boo eagerly walked the entire 1.3 miles! Bear cub and Poppa Bear taking the lead! Eisley’s sleep is still like an old wooden rollercoaster, so when I came downstairs to freshly brewed hot coffee and tasty breakfast both Saturday AND Sunday morning, my heart filled with joy and love! I am so thankful for my husband and our sweet daughter. What else could I ask for on this special Mother’s Day?! We played in the y...
