Family fun is somewhat of a catch-all section on the blog! This section of the blog will contain everything to do with my Family. It might contain posts from all sorts of adventures we take together. We enjoy hiking, camping and exploring the natural world as well as going to popular local events and places. It might even contain the odd activity or craft.

DIY Bird Feeder Kit, A fun stay at home project!
With the kids home from school for the foreseeable future and the pressure on to keep them busy, I’ve been on the lookout for fun activities that we can do together. Watching the birds in the backyard has always been enjoyable in the mornings so when I saw this DIY bird feeder kit on amazon I knew it would be the perfect little project for me and kids.

I can’t believe that I’ve lived in Georgia for as long as I have without visiting the Okefenokee Swamp Park. After taking a trip to the Everglades last summer I was extremely excited to fix this oversight and visit the Okefenokee earlier this fall.
