☀️ fresh air & sunshine
Today was the first day it was extremely hot out. Shorts weather! And this lil gal was readyyy for it.
I personally am not an outdoors kinda person. I like open windows and to admire from the indoors lol. The temperature has to be perfect. I’m always cold, but I’m pale and basically avoid the sun. Also, having to cart the baby around has been trial and error but I think I found something that worked! This stroller isn’t ideal for her but she was secure and shaded, and it’s light enough I can just carry it if I had to but it actually moved fine in the grass.
Anyways! All of this to say: we had so much fun. It’s just the little things - exploring textures and smells and colors, getting close to the trees. Running! Kicking the ball, listening to birds.
These girls make it so easy for me to get out of my comfort zone. The weather didn’t bother me at all, and I was just happy to see them happy.

As the weather gets warmer, many parents look for ways to enjoy the outdoors with their children. Engaging in activities like nature walks, playing sports, or simply enjoying a picnic can create lasting memories. Precious moments can be found in exploring textures, sounds, and the beauty of nature. Be sure to dress appropriately for comfort and protect your child's skin from the sun with sunscreen and hats. Encouraging exploration not only boosts creativity but also promotes healthy physical activity. If you're new to outdoor excursions, start with short walks in the park or backyard. Bringing along lightweight strollers can help make the experience easier, especially with younger children. Encourage your kids to observe their surroundings, identify local wildlife, and express what they discover, enhancing their awareness and appreciation for nature. Remember, the key is to make the experience enjoyable and stress-free for everyone!
