Are you bored yet? It comes and goes for us. I find that this time has provided some space for us to learn new things and connect with each other in some fun ways. I have started played to ukulele, we have weekly movie nights, lots of spa swimming, and exploring our own backyard.
If you too are getting bored, check out our newest blog post, it’s full of learning resources for all ages, tour an art museum, watch a live cam of eagles feeding their babies, whatch an informative video on just about anything. While we’re stuck at home we might as well fill our brains and hearts. .

Happy Earth Day!
This morning we watched as a crow raided a Steller Jay nest and ate one of the babies. It was both horrifying and amazing. Nature is like that, beautiful and harsh. Which is why I love it so much. I can’t wait until we can get back out into some wild places...but not too soon.
In other news, we have reached the stage of quarantine where I make all the weird things my kids request. Like this earth costume made with felt I just happened to have on hand. Why not, I have nothing but time! .

We have a new post up on our blog and the is one you are going to want to check out! It’s a huge list of learning resources for kids. We spent hours pouring over resources, having our kids try them out and we think we have a really great list. It’s mostly free or discounted, and lots of them are things your kids could do independently, because we know you are trying to work and teach your kids and clean the house and cook meals. So take a look, let us know if we missed a favorite resource of yours, we will be adding to and updating this list every week. .

Life looks a bit different these days...we are enjoying long drives through our hills, when our trails are too busy or closed and we are taking advantage of our backyard...scootering, playing frisbee, taking dips in the spa and swinging. I’m keeping my eyes on the things I get to do rather than the things I can’t do right now. .

We’re trying to keep our normal schedule of Friday nature walks. We’re sticking to trails that are really close to our house and we try to go early to avoid as many people as possible. It’s crazy how busy our local trails have been...everyone needs out of the house and I’m glad people are getting outside with their families...can you sense a but coming? I’m going to keep my complaining to myself. The world has enough negativity in it so I’ll just be thankful for our close to home trails and that they are still open. .

In this time of mandatory I’m doing my best to say yes. Yes to dancing in the rain, yes to playing that video game together, yes to pushing the little one on the swings...again, yes to building a tower, yes to making slime. When the world is closed and saying no to so much, saying yes to these little things feels like such a win. What are you saying yes to, that you normally would have been too busy for? .

I’m so glad that places like this are so close to our house. We almost didn’t hike this trail...the parking lot was pretty full. But there wasn’t any people hanging around and we only got passed people on the trail a couple times and kept huge distances. These are challenging times, we are trying to do our best to keep us and others safe. It is totally legal to go hiking right now BUT be smart about it. We follow @calparks hiking guidelines plus, we are keeping the kids right by us while on trail. Be smart, stay safe, care for others. .

Day 3 or 30 of quarantine? I couldn’t tell you. How are you doing? How are you handling the stress? We’re over here playing in our backyard between rain storms and getting some house projects done and homeschooling and playing video games all while still in jammies. Just simple living and trying to not stress too much. .
