We survived the 453 days of January 😂👏

We had so much fun celebrating New Year’s Eve, learning all about Arctic animals, getting our hands messy with crafts and ice play, went on a few walks, had a few snow ball fights with the parents, and had a ton of laughs! Here’s to a fun February! 🦊♥️

Our Christmas fun is coming to a close, but wow was it great! We made a few crafts for moms and dads, had a visit from Santa (thank you Cole!), played with homemade play dough, read a bunch of fun themed books, and had alot of fun with our station activities! With all of the fun that comes along with Christmas, we took time every day to learn about the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus! I feel so thankful to have the opportunity to share and create Christmas magic for these critters, and to also share the love of Jesus every day. Wishing all families a healthy, safe, and magical Christmas and New Year 🎅❄️🦊

August/early September post!

Holy smokes it’s been WILD around here! We said “see you later” to two Critters as they head off to school! I had their families in care for 7.5 and 7 years! (I am still emotionally healing 😪) we wish them all the best luck in school!

We celebrated 3 birthdays, welcomed sweet Emmy to the crew, watched our caterpillar turn into a gorgeous butterfly (Ryland named it Buttery!), walked to the castle and visited the turtles, ran the track for fun, walked to the “big” park, did some painting, crafts, station activities, caught some bugs, watched our gold fish in the pond, had some bounce house days, and started our curriculum back up for the year! Stay tuned for more critter fun 🦊♥️🍎
