In honor of my boy's birthday, today's post is about teaching them to love the earth. Part of loving the earth is doing small things to take care of her. I know that's what we've all been trying to do. At the same time I do this I want to help them to develop earth-friendly habits. It warmed my heart the other day when I had been running the water a bit too long, and David looked at me with a very serious look on his face and said, "Mommy, don't waste the water." The other part of teaching them to love the earth is to let them enjoy the outdoors. I think this includes getting them out into nature as often as possible. Our family plans on making that a priority this summer. In the past I have not been a real enthusiastic camper, but I'm really going to try to get into it, for them. And hey, I bet I'll end up having a great time too. We also want to become a biking family. I think that will be a fun way to enjoy the outdoors more as well.
A couple other things...
