Hi all! This is a bit of a personal post, but I feel pulled to express my excitement as I embark on some amazing upcoming nature-inspired endeavors!

Firstly, I wanted to announce my elation of my most recent achievement. I have been warmly welcomed onto the Board of Directors for The Forest School Foundation! It has been a complete honor to be able to work with such like-minded, deeply caring & passionate individuals. I look so forward to my long-term involvement with such a meaningful foundation. For a bit of background, The Forest School Foundation is a not-for-profit organization in which exists to both foster and grow the establishments of forest schools within the SE United States. We have currently one incredible forest school in existence, Growing Wild Forest School of Asheville, NC, with plans to open more as time goes on! Please feel free to click our support link to support the movement!

My second piece of exciting news is that The Forest Homeschool has proudly partnered with Montessori Choice! One of the most important reasons as to why I decided to partner with this amazing small business is the fact that the owners are seriously dedicated to preserving childhood, and honoring naturally-made items for children of all ages. Its apparent, if you visit their site, that their products are absolutely gorgeous, and I will admit that they are even more beautiful in person! Many made of hardy materials such as hardwood, the items in which this company sells fall nothing short of remarkable. I’m so satisfied to know that these toys will be around for years to come! Check out their site and use coupon code “theforesthomeschool” upon checkout for 15% off your entire purchase!

I’ve also been feeling compelled to embark on my nature-based photography journey, which I plan to use as another outlet to encourage the child/nature connection and finding magic within the outdoors! ✨ You can find the very beginning of our journey here on our photography instagram page.
