So true

So much fun!

Our Better Nature: How The Great Outdoors Can Improve Your Life If you live in a big city, you may have noticed new buildings popping up — a high-rise here, a skyscraper there. The concrete jungles that we've built over the past century have allowed millions of us to live in close proximity, and modern economies to flourish. But what have we given up by moving...

Do you have a daredevil toddler? I do!

How to Do Better Than “Be Careful" When you say, “Be careful,” you do not help a child learn anything about the risk in the given situation, never mind how to manage that risk. 

Messy play expands your child's horizon.

How to Be Down with Messy Play and Keep Your Sanity How can we be true to our feelings about the less desirable parts of messy play but still give our kids all of its benefits?

The importance of outdoor education

Outdoor, play-based learning is a proven way to give children a solid foundation and love of education and nature.

According to Scientific American, “Nearly all developmental psychologists, neuroscientists and education experts recommend play for kids 0-7 as the best way to nurture development and ready them for academic success later in life.”

It’s also been shown that 80+% of brain development occurs before the age of five. Foundation skills built in those first 5 years will affect learning for the rest of their life.

I can't wait to get started sharing my love of nature and children with families in Tulsa, OK
