Hey there

Beautiful male monarch

Monarch caterpillar toe beans 🐾 🐛

Truly, an honor. 🦋
Thank you madam, monarch

The past few weeks have been spent raising monarchs from egg to caterpillar to butterfly. What an amazing experience it has been to witness such a delicate and beautiful part of the circle of life. (Minus all the frass lol) 🐛

My little nature lover 💚🌳 #daughter #earth #nature

My girls love bringing in random plant life, even some fungi apparently. This was yesterday’s haul

Soon we will get to see if the little caterpillar who showed up on our threshold on a very windy day last fall will emerge into a butterfly 🐛🦋

I always find the most random things after my kids go to bed

Today’s abandoned toy set up. I love finding what my kids leave behind

A little pop of color to brighten up your winter ✨
