In our nature study this week we are learning about snails! I was super excited for this and can’t wait for our little friends to start coming out to play 🐌 We read all about their anatomy and life cycle, practiced the letter L, completed a shadow matching and anatomy worksheet, and also some line work and a number lesson. We also made a cute paper snail craft.

Then we had an awesome time at the park with friends for a break. So glad we got to enjoy this beautiful day. After, we chilled out with a good book and did a few fun worksheets on the letters, shapes, and a number puzzle I created. Looking forward to more snail fun this week

My Flow

This is exactly how I’ve been feeling lately. It’s taken some time for me to find a certain flow, especially this past year. Change has never been an issue for me, I actually welcome it and adjust fine. But with major waves coming through sometimes it’s hard to get above water.

I always find a way to make it work. Always. And this time I slowly accepted what is and actually embrace it. I believe everything happens for a reason. Coincidences don’t really exist. So I take everything as it comes. And sometimes you wake up to what a blessing something can be.

Sadly, there will always be people who will try to bring you down. They may not do it purposely but they are doing it nonetheless. And my response to that is… No one is going to throw me off track. And no one is going to fuck up my flow. It may not be how you would choose to live your life but it’s the best for me and my family. And something we should all want for everyone is happiness. Positive vibes only.

For our nature study this morning we read one of our favorite books, practiced the letter S, and had a number lesson with our spring count and clip cards. We also learned about seeds and completed a life cycle worksheet, practiced linework, and did a flower puzzle. It’s such a chilly, windy day but studying all things spring is surely putting a smile on my face.⠀⠀⠀

An earthy mood board I created for Kati at @flagstaffskin for her branding inspiration. The color palette is warm and rich and I’m loving it. Super happy she loves it too. Im currently building her website, which will launch very soon! It’s all coming together beautifully and I can’t wait to share it.
