Last week we went on a really fun group camping trip! ☀️🏕🌲 The great outdoors offers so many family-friendly activities, even for our young family. We took the kids hiking, kayaking and floating down the river. Of course, we also made s'mores, sang songs around the campfire and played board games. With all that's happening in the world, some things are certain. God gives us opportunities every day to serve the people around us with our specific skills and material blessings. For me, the pandemic has made it easy to simplify why I do the things I do. Life is not about achievements, accumulating stuff, being comfortable or even feeling happy. We love others because Jesus first loved us. ❤ #createplaytravel

We love creating versatile living spaces in our home. #ad ⭐ Right now all of our kids share a room, so we have an extra bedroom to use as an office and guest room. Our classic blue futon from @the_futon_shop offers a cozy reading corner in our bonus room. We can also quickly and easily transform our futon into a comfy bed for guests. We picked out a futon that would best fit the style of our home. We had lots of options to choose from, each offering healthy non-toxic sleep and priced affordably for everyone!
.
If you are looking to furnish an extra room or just want a minimalistic bed, The Futon Shop likely has something you will love. Choose from many styles and Organic mattresses which are each hand crafted in the USA. #createplaytravel #thefutonshop

I love the beauty of God's creation. All the incredible details of nature can't be reproduced anywhere else. On another note, my kids love asking me to make up songs for them and I recently wrote a song about roses. I am just struggling to come up with a repeatable catchy chorus in between verses. 🎶😄🌹I recently picked my guitar back up after a few years of neglect. Creative musical projects are excellent motivation to practice useful skills! #createplaytravel #sunnydays #creativefun

Happy Independence Day! 🎆❤🌟 I hope you had a memorable day with your family and friends. We enjoyed seeing friends from Seattle in the morning, an afternoon park day with more friends, and a BBQ with my husband's family including 12 little cousins. Overall we're thankful for our community and our freedom, even as our country works through 2020's challenges. ❤🇺🇲

Summer days are a great opportunity to encourage kids to keep on learning and exploring. ☀️📚❤ #ad Our family often goes camping and hiking with our three kids. On days we are home, we do creative activities such as making slime, building with Legos and reading together. I especially appreciate resources such as @abekahomeschool readers and chapter books. These engaging stories are a great way for kids to practice their reading skills and go on adventures within the pages of a book!
⭐ What are some ways you encourage your kids to keep learning through the summer?

Happy almost 4th of July! 😀🎉🎆⭐ We have so much to be thankful for. We enjoy many blessings in our nation thanks to brave individuals who fought for our freedom in the past and in the present. Thank you!⁠If you're feeling crafty, easily make this star-spangled slime. DIY sensory slime is a great summer kids activity! All you need is: ⁠
• 1 cup clear glue⁠
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda⁠
• food coloring & glitter⁠
• contact solution (containing boric acid & sodium borate)⁠Step 1: Pour 1 cup clear craft glue into a mixing bowl.⁠
Step 2: Stir in 1/2 tsp. baking soda. ⁠
Step 3: Add a few drops of food coloring & glitter.⁠
Step 4: Fully mix the ingredients until combined. ⁠
Step 5: Add a squirt of contact solution and stir. The slime will be goopy at first and then get stretchier. The more you play with slime, the better it gets!⁠

This handsome little guy brought me a fistful of flowers. 🥰🌷☀️ "Put them in water mama," he said. I love his sweet spirit and appreciate all the things that have contributed to his adventurous little personality. Our community is a big part of our family life. This last week we enjoyed such a sweet time camping with friends. These people encourage us to love Jesus more, love our kids, and give us opportunities to serve. As our world changes and encounters new challenges, we definitely need more of that.
