Oh my dear! It's 2015 and I'm ready for another great year of adventures! I'm feeling more creative than ever and I've made lots of goals for this new year. I love making a list and trying my best to follow it throughout the year. Film videos of forest adventures I go...
It's Fairy Day! I've been dancing a lot lately and have been away from the forest. I can't wait to get back to nature this Canada Day long weekend and hopefully become inspired again by the trees and beauty of the wilderness! Here's a lovely photo from the Minnesota...
We've arrived at the end of the 12 lessons I learned from the forest series. It's been pretty fun reflecting on all of these special moments I shared with my family on our forest path. It's really interesting how so many little things can have such an impact on our...
