🐞SENSORY SUMMER MAGIC🐝

These are older photos from when Francis and Harriet were itty bitty and the water table was less weather-worn, but this is still one of our most-loved summer activities—something even the big kids still can’t resist.

Simple summer fun:
Freeze little toys—bugs, butterflies, dinosaurs, army men, whatever sparks joy—in bowls of water (add food coloring if you like), then freeze in bowls.
Once good and frozen, hand over some salt, warm water, spoons or safe tools, and let them rescue their treasures.
They can experiment on how the salt works with cold and warm water and get a little science on too!

It’s quiet, focused fun that keeps little hands and imaginations busy for ages.
AND
It gives you a moment to sit in the sun and engage with them or just close your eyes and enjoy the sound of their little voices.

We’re pulling the old play table back out and doing it again this week. All you need is water, salt, and a few fun plastic toys and VOILA! Hours of entertainment!

Some things are just timeless. 💛

☀️ Don’t forget us if you need sunscreen, bug spray, sun hats and swimsuits! The SHOP IS STOCKED FULL! 💦

🌿WELCOME SALLYE ANDER 🌱

No Bite Bug Repellent + Afterbite Cream just in — yep, it does both! Repels bugs and soothes the ones that sneak through. 🦟

They have awesome after bite sticks + Poison Ivy Soap too — because nature is nature and ain’t no skeeters gonna keep us indoors!

We also added something extra for you sleep-deprived superheroes: Under Eye Treatment that helps reduce puffiness and dark circles. Because if you’ve got kids, you’re probably not sleeping. 💤💁‍♀️

Come grab some before the bugs get ya!

🤍 HAPPY FATHER’S DAY 🤍

I have been thinking about my dad so much today, and figured I would be keeping the musings to myself…but I’m feeling the pull to share, so I’m going with it.
My dad is the person who taught me unconditional love. THE person. Unconditional, because he didn’t HAVE to love me.
I was 14 when he became my dad. An angsty manic-panic hair dyed, raging 14 year old girl, with recently divorced parents, uprooted from London and planted in rural Northern Virginia.
HE had just left the catholic church to marry my mom—which led him to automatically acquire my brothers and I.
Fatherhood to FATHERHOOD 😂

I could talk for hours about how amazing he was, how kind, how open hearted, empathetic, quietly helpful, FUNNY, full of insight.
But I’ll just share this moment, one I often see now from the outside looking in; like watching a movie clip.
I was probably 15 or 16, hysterical about something, who knows what. But SOOO emotional, so confused, sad, distrustful. I can feel this like it was yesterday — pure teenage pain. I went in my closet and he was trying to rationally (😂😂😂) talk to me and of course I did the thing that ALL step-kids do at some point, the “you can’t tell me what to do, you’re not my dad!”
Pushing and pushing him away.
I was awful, mean—said ALL the hurtful things. And my dad…he just stood there with his arms stretched open toward me and steadily said, “I’ll wait.”

He’s been gone 9 years, I have 4 kids now, and this is still one of my go-to parenting moves.
IT WORKS ya’ll. Kids really just want to know you’re there and solid, no matter how hard they push you away.
Forever grateful for the twists and turns in life that brought him to me.

🪣Yardwork Helpers 🌱🌼🧹🪣

We’ve got brooms 🧹, rakes 🌸, and shovels 🪏in the store just right for your little yard helpers. And yes—they actually work! They’re not just cute! Ours survived being left out for three winters before finally giving in! 💪

☀️It’s hot. But it’s fun #☀️
Play is the work of the child…
Regular yardwork is just contributing to the household but for big jobs we’ll pay ‘em a dollar or two and they think they struck gold.
Innocence. Joy. Time together. AND you actually get stuff done.
