Playing in Nature's Toy Box
This past year, I've become more aware of the calming effects of nature on both Persephone and myself. If I'm feeling disgruntled, a little air and sunshine usually has the power to diffuse a bad mood. I make it a point to spend at least a little time outside each day, regardless of the weather. With perfect fall temperatures over the last couple of weeks we've been spending a lot of time outdoors walking, exploring, playing. I let Persy collect pine cones, leaves, stones and other small objects to bring home and play with together. She loves to take them out of her bowl and then put them back in again. Sometimes the best toys are the free ones that Mother Nature provides!

That's funny, even when Lily was a tiny baby we figured out that if she was upset we could just step outside it would calm her down. Kids must have some kind of connection with nature.
To the post below– did you do that yourself?
Yes, I cut it myself. Just a little trim to even things up.
