I’m back, and thank you for your well wishes and prayers while my little one was sick.
Speaking of little ones, I’ve blogged before about the importance of taking children outside and teaching them to appreciate nature. Well, wouldn’t you know that in our society where even specific fruits and vegetables are given a day of celebration (hello, National Artichoke Hearts Day), there is Take a Child Outside Week, coming up Sept. 24-30. If you’re inclined, you can sign up at this site to pledge to take a child outside, then come back and report what you did. The site offers ideas on activities, if you need them. Sounds like more fun than National Artichoke Hearts Day, anyway….
