Nature Journals

 This summer, we started this new tradition.  Nature Journals.  To prep for this project, a trip to the thrift store was in order (naturally).  I found all these photo albums and basket to put them all in for $5.00.  A couple times a week, we try to add to our journal. We draw pictures of what we see and place those in our binder. We collect leaves and flowers to press in the flower press that my dad made and put in our journal.  We talk about what we see and enjoy being outside together.  Just my littles and me.  (And yes, I journal along with them). It really has become such a peaceful and enjoyable time in our week.  I look forward to seeing how the journals change throughout the season and hopefully years.
