🌱☀️Hey friends!☀️🌱

Not sure if you’ve seen, but we’ve been doing Puppy Yoga at our new space— Heartsong Village Center with a local non-profit dog rescue—and it’s been so sweet. We’ve got another class tomorrow and a few spots just opened up!🤗

If you’ve been thinking about coming or just want an excuse to cuddle some pups and reconnect—I’d love to see you there. It’s super chill, and just good vibes all around🌱

And if money is a barrier, please don’t let that stop you. Just reach out. Truly🙏 I’d love to see familiar faces and share in the joy ☺️

Let’s enjoy this beautiful day together with puppies, movement, and community.

It's SO interesting just how important it is to get our kids outside on so many levels! 🌲🌿🌳🌱

Daycares in Finland Grew Forests, And It Changed Kids' Immune Systems Playing through the greenery and litter of a mini forest's undergrowth for just one month may be enough to change a child's immune system, according to an experiment in Finland.

If I had a nickel for every comment about using my children for child labor… 🙄🙄🙄 Our kids legitimately love helping on the farm. In fact, one time Addison missed out on chore time at Papa’s house and was in tears over the deal. I think the piece that people are missing is that this is a family affair. I don’t send my 6 year old out to do a job by herself- we’re right there with her, working side by side toward a common goal. The actions you take now form your kids into the adults they will be one day. And I want my kids to have the best shot at success- no matter what path they choose in life.
