I love how @teenpact encourages teens to get involved in government. The girls are watching the Vision Party Primary tonight and then they get to vote in a national election, TeenPact Nation. 😏 I chuckled when my oldest said, “I get to vote and I’m not even 18!”

Ahh...Spring...my favorite time of year! 🌸 My desert willow bloomed today! Now I’m ready for some rains to really bring out the blooms! 🌸

See the line with the single check mark? ✔️ See the line with no check marks? ✔️ This is my new habit tracker insert from @junipergrovejournals. I started it mid-month. Do you know how hard that was for this Type A, order loving girl? It’s like breaking some unwritten rule. 👮🏼 But I did it anyway! And some days I don’t get to my habits. Some days I accomplish a couple. I know that in order to establish a habit you need to do it routinely. But I also know that when something feels like a “should” it becomes drudgery. 😑 So I try to view my habit formation instead as a lifelong improvement program. I know I will fall off the horse sometimes and I just have to keep getting back on and trying again. 🐴 I haven’t been reading as much lately because I was super busy with some business projects. 📚 I haven’t practiced penmanship in ages because life was just crazy! 🤪 But it’s okay to let balls drop and pick them back up later. @delightfullyfeasting and I were talking recently about this. She said she had heard that we are alway dropping balls. It’s just that some are rubber and bounce, and we can pick them back up when we can. And others are glass so we need to not let them fall and shatter. (My paraphrase) 🎾 That has been a helpful analogy to me recently as I shift gears and try to get back into a more normal routine. After a season of being super absorbed in a project, I’m ready to refocus on some habits that bring life and beauty to my days. 🌹 Mamas...it’s okay to dive deep and focus on what you need to focus on at the moment. It’s okay to focus on habits if that helps you. It’s okay if your life looks different than anyone else’s. 🙃 It’s okay to fall and get back up. Take a deep breath and remember...you were made for this! 😘

Throwback to the time we had a picnic lunch and actually saw an inchworm making his way across the table. I'd heard about inchworms, but I'd never actually seen one.⁠⠀ 🐛⁠⠀ This was such a fun experience for my girls as we counted his way by the stick. Nature study doesn't have to be planned. Sometimes it just happens.⁠⠀ 🌳⁠⠀ What's your most memorable accidental nature study?⁠⠀

Most people think of math as arithmetic, the study

Most people think of math as arithmetic, the study of numbers, and the rules or operations such as addition and multiplication that we use to manipulate them. Guess again! Mathematics is a much greater science of relationship, which uses numerical symbols to describe fundamental truths about our universe. The numbers or symbols on a page represent powerful abstract concepts - but they are rooted in concrete experience. Mathematicians and scientists of all ages begin by asking questions about the world: soap bubbles, seashells, ants, stars, and the leaves on tree branches are all raw material for brilliant minds.

There's so much we can learn right outside our front door.⁠⠀ 🚪⁠⠀ Be sure to check out my video, 5 Fun and Educational Ways to Learn About Nature. It demystifies getting outside to learn. ⁠⠀

Throwback to a couple of years ago when we were working on mastering #mathfacts. Adding in movement really helped both of my daughters learn and remember the math facts. This day was particularly fun because we brought out the huge exercise ball for her to bounce. We had some good laughs when the ball bounced particularly high and went out of her reach. 🤣⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Has your child practiced math facts while bouncing a ball?⁠⠀
