We did absolutely nothing for Earth Day today. There was Earthfest, an outdoor fest for biking and paddle boarding, and a Natural Parenting Expo. But after our soccer game we tucked ourselves into our little abode, and spent the day deciding what to do minute by minute. Sometimes we need give ourselves permission to ignore all things we think we should do, and just be, with no pressure to do anything else. So that’s exactly what we did.
There was a trip to get a new picnic table and some plants. Then there was a bike ride, practicing with no training wheels, pulling weeds, planting tomatoes, making houses under the deck stairs, pretending the sandbox was a beach, wearing swimsuits when it was 65 degrees outside, running in bare feet and enjoying outdoor dining while taking in all the sister moments of my girls growing too fast together.
I hope you are having a lovely weekend as well.
