While camping the other weekend, watching my son explore his surroundings, get as dirty as possible and just being free, I was overwhelmed with such a feeling of joy and pure bliss. I felt like I was doing exactly what I was put here to do. Seeing him follow an osprey with his eyes as she went back to her nest or picking up a huge toad and giggling as it wiggled in his hands and eventually went pee on him . Or, following a colony of ants as they walk single file on a mission to get their work done and watching in awe as some geese took flight. I realized in those moments that the things he was learning would stick with him forever and hopefully influence who he will become. I must say, it has made me one proud mamma and I feel so blessed to get to know him as he grows. Much Love to all the mammas out there raising outpost children....keep it up!!!! Traci |

I agree Traci! One of the best things about our move is that we now have a safe yard to let Baby play in. She loves to get muddy and wet and I can't wait till I can get her up into the mountains! I just know she is going to love it too!
They say that we actually do remember everything-every little experience in our lives- and even if it is buried so deep that we can't access it- it still shapes and molds our unconscious mind. How great is it to feel that we are laying down a life long love and appreciation of the out doors?

Thanks Linda, I have been realizing that the most ordinary experiences really are better when shared. Even when it's grizzly poop! It just sends out an open, loving, common energy that this world definately needs more of. So, thanks again.

Traci you just gotta blog, its so much fun. It a great way to keep your own online journal sorta and keep you on track of that "TO DO list" thats sorta too!!! Plus others that read and comment, you get ideas and encouragement not to mention inspiring others as well. And remember every thing is blog material , lol.
I blog about grizzy poop from Canada one time :/

I don't have a blog at the moment Linda, it has been on my list of things to do for a while but I can't seem to find the time. I will definately post some pictures soon because there are some really cute ones! We had such a great time, I can't wait to do it again. Traci |

I second that Traci. Even tho I'm a grandma, you never get to old to teach kids what life is all about in nature and the wonder of things.
The simple pleasures are rewarding to all.
June Bug do you have a blog? I would love to see pic's of your camping. Bet it was a blast

Back at ya, Traci. It's comforting to know we've got "sisters" out there, sharing the wild mama vibe!
