In today's world of hyper-technology, a mother's first duty is to restore a love for nature and the peace that comes from spending time outdoors. In this episode, you will learn how to seamlessly include nature study and nature journaling in your weekly routine. Jeannie Fulbright interviews Joy Cherrick, author of the Nature Study Hacking series, which is based on the Handbook of Nature Study. Joy and Jeannie discuss mindsets, expectations, tips for making nature study a part of your family's lifestyle, and how her guides can be used to increase your family's knowledge of nature and joy in nature journaling.
