                                      Start your 4th of July with a breath of fresh air—and a little forest magic. This special family edition of forest bathing invites kids (ages 6+) and adults alike to slow down, explore with your senses, and discover wonder in the woods at Potomac Overlook Regional Park! Guided by certified nature and forest therapy guide Ilana Rubin of Kindred Nature, we’ll go for a gently guided wander in the park, pausing along the way for interactive, sensory nature-based invitations that spark curiosity, calm, and connection. We’ll close our time together with a cozy forest tea party under the trees. $30 per person. Open to ages 6 and up. All minors must be accompanied by a registered adult, and all participants must register in advance online.

                                      Maybe you’ve heard of the pollution credits and carbon offsets made available to Big Business. Today I’m wondering about credits and offsets for non-green Valentines. You see, last week I blogged about Green Valentines, happily recalling the days when I enjoyed making simple homemade “green” Valentines with my son.
I expected to do the same this year. But this year I don’t have a preschooler. I have a BIG BOY kindergartner whose best friend is giving out Hot Wheels Valentines.

                                      How did I miss it that children under the age of six do not learn by bad example?  And why are children's book authors and educational television programs missing this as well?

                                      I don't know why I seem to be the only parent doing this. The looks and head shakes from other moms as my kids scarf in the cart is the least of my worries, but really, what's the big deal?

                                      Last year, we were that family on your airplane.  But don't worry, this year you're safe.  My family and I can't afford to all fly at once in the current economy. Don't thank me, thank Uncle Sam.
