From our Nest to yours, happy Thanksgiving. We are incredibly thankful for the earth we play on every day, and all of you for following us on our journey.

Recharge- verb:

With Autumn here and the Harvest Moon above us, let's follow the flow of nature and slow down. Let's do what we need to for the upcoming winter slumber- be it taking naps, making warm cozy snacks, or slowing our bodies.

What will you do to shed some leaves?

Miss Robyn: "If you can carry it, you can keep it."

Never - ever - underestimate the determination a child has breaking a treasure home.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower

Do you want to increase your time spent outdoors? Heard about the benefits of nature but not sure where to start? Want to introduce your children to playing outside and better balance the world of electronics? Learn to live in the moment and reconnect your body to the energy of the world?

Introducing our newest nature adventure: guided nature walks. Miss Robyn will join you and your family on the trails and experience all nature has to offer first-hand.

Basically, let's have a private forest school class for you and your family. Let's all play, learn, and fill our hearts with joy together!

Thinking there has to be a second life to all those Amazon boxes? Yeah, me too. So here's a quick and fun way to add 30 minutes outside, really take a look at nature, and perhaps talk about reusing to help the environment. Acorns don't interest you? Get creative! What can you come up with?!

It's conker time!!

These (almost) autumn chestnuts can be enjoyed utilizing all your senses:

See: observe the leaves of the tree through the seasons. Generally starting green, the leaves will dontinue to turn quickly from yellow to brown before falling.

Smell: did you know that this small treasure can make soap- it's true! Horse chestnuts are hight in saponins, making it a great soap alternative. Take in the faint woodland smell the soap leaves behind.

Hear: can you hear when a chestnut is ready to fall? Squirrels love horse chestnuts and will chew branches to bring the nuts to the ground. On the way down, you can listen to the nuts hitting leaves as it slowly ping pongs to the ground.

Taste: while horse chestnuts are not safe for human consumption, they certainly are for squirells! The animals might store these for later, or they might get a taste by removing the outer shells and having a quick snack.

Touch: beware before picking up! These guys sure have a prickly outer shell! Once you find the way to hold them gently, they should be safe in many hands. Or, place one nut on the ground and gently place one foot on top and gentle roll back k and forth under your shoe. This will flatten those spikes in no time!

How will you use your conckers?
