Happy Earth Day!

Today on April 22nd we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day. This annual event is celebrated around the world to show our love for Earth and share ways we can protect it.

Every year my family and I try to do something together on this day to help our planet. I participated in beach cleanups with my Dad when I was young

and I try to teach my girls now about cleaning up litter and recycling. We like to plant flowers and seeds in our yard and enjoy exploring nature together. 

Today I am sharing some of our favorite Earth Day inspired crafts, recipes, and activities to do at home with your kids. Teach them about saving our planet and have fun doing it!

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the Earth.” —Henry David Thoreau

Some of our favorite Earth Day memories include this planting flowers party at Chick-fil-A in San Antonio in 2o18. 

Another fun memory was my 2014 Earth Day party.

I hosted this festive gathering when Ava was just a baby and I invited my fellow military spouses for a poolside lunch.

We enjoyed the beautiful day together and everyone went home with recycled goodies including crayons and seeds.

Earth Day 2016 at the park. One of our favorite places to be. 

“Keep close to Nature’s heart… and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” —John Muir

🌳 ✨️NWA Must See : Listening Forest by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. 
My family and I had the pleasure of experiencing this nighttime interactive exhibit at @crystalbridgesmuseum last week. It was unlike anything we have ever done before and we spent two fun filled hours exploring the lighted forest and all the lights, music, sculptures, and sounds within. Hands down one of the best experiences we have had so far in Arkansas!

It's #WhatchaReadingWednesday (a day late, whoops!). I was so excited to find this Choose Your Own Adventure book at @samsclub and it's a #StrangerThings story! I loved these books growing up and I am super excited they are making a comeback. This easy read is perfect for throwing in your bag and picking up anytime you have a break and want to read a chapter or two of a story. Super excited to read this one and you know I plan of reading all 25 endings! ✨️
