Don't you think it's important to continue to play no matter how old you are?

I never want to "grow up" if it means I have to stop playing... and learning. We learn best when we're naturally curious and curiosity guides play.

Children learn all about their world when they are playing.

Spending time outside reminds us that we are part of something bigger! It helps us shift our egocentric focus. We all serve a purpose on this planet, but how often do we think of our connectedness to nature? Nature is always there. It's dependable, and it's so easy to take for granted. This complex natural world surrounds us every single day, and it is mind-blowing and magnificent if we stop (or at least slow down) to notice.

You know, I don't think happiness is about getting everything you want. I think it's about learning to TRUST YOURSELF TO ADJUST YOURSELF when things go bad. It's about becoming a better version of YOU every single day, when something terrific happens and especially when you survive a stressful situation.  

Parenting is difficult. Completely worth it, but difficult.

It seems just when we survive one phase and everything is going smoothly, another phase presents itself. And that is with just one child! Yeah, it can be overwhelming! We know it's always best to have a good support system to lean on when times get tough.
