The sisters are so thrilled to welcome Cindy West to this episode.

Cindy is a homeschool mom of three who has loved nature pretty much her whole life and now creates fantastic products and classes to help parents learn about nature with their kids.

Cindy, Cait, and Kara discuss easy ways to add intention to nature walks, how Cindy’s own homeschool nature study has developed over the years and what to do about nature journaling if you have a kiddo who really wants their trees to look like trees … wink.

This one is for parents new to nature study, those who want to beef-up their outdoor time, and even those who don’t think they are “nature” types, i.e., one of the sisters 😉
