I like to make a small jar or two extra to give as gifts. These are perfect for out-of-town visitors, ...

My New Weekly Cleaning Schedule + A FREE Printable Checklist

I was standing there washing dishes when I noticed how disgustingly dirty and grimey my kitchen blinds were. "When was the last time I even cleaned these?!" I thought. Ew. I am a fairly clean person. My home is pretty tidy most days, I vacuum daily and I am great at keeping the main rooms ...

A Fall Afternoon at the Denver Zoo + My Momiform This Season

We bought  a membership at the Denver Zoo again because we go so often. We usually spontaneously head down to the zoo late afternoons/ early evenings and there tends to be way less people. Even if we only go to see one exhibit or play in one area, it's worth it if you have the membership. I have ...

It was a good day to be in the forest. The sun was It was a good day to be in the forest.
The sun was shining through the trees and the smell of pine and wet branches was therapeutic. I snowshoed and Liam sled down the hill over and over again. Now we're back inside with hot cocoa in our bellies and ready for a nap.
Hope you had a good weekend and were able to spend some time outside.

I have grown to really love Winter, and get excite I have grown to really love Winter, and get excited with each snow fall. But I am already dreaming of being barefoot in the grass and foraging for herbs in the forest. There's nothing better than a late Spring breeze blowing through an open window and watching the forest explode with color and life. We still have a few more months before I can enjoy those things, so until then, I'll try to savor the cozy days of hot tea, cookies, crunchy snowy walks, and candle light. 
Are you itching for Spring already or happy with the snow?

We lost power for most of the day yesterday becaus We lost power for most of the day yesterday because of a windstorm. It's kind of like our snow day when this happens, so we spent the day making a fort in the living room, reading books and playing games. It was the perfect cozy day to bring out our latest @literatikids box. This month's box was by far Liam's favorite so far. (I'll show you what we got in my stories today) 
Our favorite monthly surprise, @literatikids has been sending us some really amazing and beautiful books to add to our little library. Head to the link in my bio if you are interested in 25% off your first box! Signing up is super easy. You choose which club your kiddo would fall into (books are chosen by age and reading level) then the 5 hand-selected books arrive at your door! You get a week to try out the books, then send what you don't want back for free. So far we have loved every book we have received! 📚 
When the power came back on last night, Liam and I were actually bummed😆 I love having a tech-free day and he loves building forts and using candles for light. He also loves when I cook a meal with our camp stove at home. It was nice to have running water again, though. That I definitely missed!

Have you ever put together a book basket? I use t Have you ever put together a book basket? 
I use to do these a lot when my son was a toddler and I decided to  make one today for #mtnwildstorytime to see how my 8 year old would like it. I was very surprised that he really loved it!! Even though everything in this basket are items we already own, it all seemed new and novel to him presented in a basket. Easiest story time ever! You can make these book baskets with any picture book, and I already have about a dozen ideas to share with you! Gather up things around your house that fit the theme or setting of the book. This could be a snack mentioned in the book, toys of the characters, coloring pages, seasonal items.... 
I gathered up some bear and wolf stuffed animals, wood toys, plastic toy animals, and paper masks. 
While we read through Bear and Wolf by Daniel Salmieri, my kiddo played with the bear and wolf toys and pulled out his rock collection and toy trees and set up a little forest scene. This story takes place during the Winter, so he took some white felt and laid that on the ground for snow. Then he decided he wanted to read through his wolf facts book (wolves are his favorite animal) and we watched some educational videos online about bears and wolves.  It was a long story time but the best one we have had in awhile. 
Happy reading ! 📚
