If you didn’t hear, last week was National Wildlife Week – a time to get out and enjoy nature! Since I’m just four weeks into a C-section recovery, I didn’t want to do anything TOO adventurous. Luckily the weather cooperated for us last week and we enjoyed some wee adventures without even leaving the neighborhood. [...]

Trees and dirt and birds, oh my! This entire week (March 15-21) is National Wildlife Week. An entire week dedicated to getting our butts off the couch, away from the computer (oops!) and into the clean, fresh air! How much time to you spend outside with your kids? I bet you could do more, right? [...]

Okay, so it’s mid-January now. But I can’t get Christmas break out of my head, from the few days in our hometown to the aftermath of getting home. Big Roo was absolutely crazy-hyper like I’ve never seen him. From someone who’s used to an active yet relatively well-behaved two year old, I wasn’t sure what [...]

Last week, I “met” a fellow blogger through Twitter who runs the blog Go Explore Nature. She posted this great list of 10 Holiday Gifts for Little Nature Explorers. One that’s mentioned is a digital camera and I couldn’t agree more! Big Roo can’t keep his hands off my digital SLR when I break it [...]

I’m Melissa. Most people call me Mel. I’m a mama to two boys and a lover of all things outdoors. I'm a marketer who hearts good grammar. I also love Twitter, my Mac and all things techy.
This is Daddy Roo. We met in 1995, got married in 2000 and had Big Roo seven years later. Yeah, we like to take our time. Daddy Roo plays soccer, loves cooking more than I do and takes sarcasm to a level few people can. He’s awesome.
Big Roo is our 4-year-old ball of energy. He’s all boy except for the pink bear he carries around. I embrace the contradiction. He’s already a fan of hiking and camping.
The youngest of the Roo family. He loves eating kiwis, chasing his brother and swinging in our backyard. He also loves attacking his brother with a squeal of laughter.
