DIY Flower Press #NatureBookClub {Link Up}

May 20, 2018 By Thaleia 4 Comments

Spring is a good time to make a DIY Flower press from recycled materials as wildflowers are in bloom! May’s theme for Nature Book Club is wildflowers but we also have a HUGE resource post all about parts of a flower from a few years ago!

One thing I have come to appreciate about having four children over a decade is that the younger ones haven’t done everything that the big kids have. This means that I get to relive and share activities over again. This is especially fun for me and nature activities.

Lil’ Red loves nature and looking at our flowers both cultivated and wildflowers. He is more then happy to collect flowers or leaves for homemade medicine. It just occurred to me that he had never pressed leaves or flowers. Since he is my hands-on learner I knew he would enjoy this activity.

We own a couple of books about wildflowers that are fun to use to identify plants that we do not know. One called Spring Wildflowers of Ohio is free from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and can be viewed online or saved as a pdf! You can also check out the Wildflower Bloom report for Ohio.

Join #NatureBookClub May 20-31 to learn about #wildflowers with crafts & activities.

Summer Pasta Salad Recipes

June 30, 2017 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Summer heat lends itself to quicker cooler meals and sides like pasta salad. I did not grow up eating or learning to make pasta salad. You see my family never went to yearly family reunions or very many Summer potlucks or picnic dinners. Since I enjoy eating pasta salads that I have eaten at such events it only seems natural for me to learn to make my own. My hubby likes pasta salad as well and one day hope that our children will enjoy them as much as we do!

DIY Outdoor Play Space Ideas

I have had lots of ideas gathered from around the internet and have pinned tons of them on my Backyard Fun pinterest board but many have not been accomplished. Some require funds that we do not have or equipment that we do not own. Most of the ideas listed below are a little simpler and maybe a lot easier to accomplish. I plan on using these ideas as inspiration for my own children in our own backyard. I hop that you find something that gives you the inspiration to try one of these DIY outdoor play space ideas!

Have you ever wondered some tips for visiting a butterfly house? We went last year to the Butterfly House at Perry’s Cave and Family Fun Center on Put-In-Bay, Ohio. This particular house did not have native butterflies but some very exotic tropical species.

Go Mulberry Picking

July 17, 2015 By Thaleia

I remember the fun and excitement of waiting for that perfect day when the Mulberry trees would turn purple. This meant that all the Mulberries were ripe for the picking. I grew up on 5 acres which had a handful of really nice trees that yielded a lot of berries. We often ate as much as we picked.
