**Book received for consideration. All thoughts are my own.
It seems like winter has been hanging on forever, but as I take a look outside, I see spots of life finally making their appearance. The trees
are budding, the dandelions have multiplied, and a nest of baby birds
sings a lovely song outside my kitchen window. And let me tell you, I am
more than ready for the better weather that spring and summer are sure
to bring. My kids are too, and cannot wait to get outside more as the
weather allows!
I must admit though that while I always
try to encourage my kids to spend time outdoors, I'm not always sure
what to do outside with them! I grew up in the country where we had
creeks to play in and a little more room to run and use our
imaginations. My kids, not so much! What fun activities could we do that
got us outside and away from screens? And activities that aren't going
to cost us a fortune too!?
When I heard about 100 Days
of Adventure, I thought it might be just the solution. Take a

Sounds pretty cool, right? We certainly thought so! While
weather/health/school has not yet allowed us to dive into these adventures
quite as much as we would like just yet, we are enjoying all the inspiration
we have found in this book and cannot wait to incorporate many of the ideas
into our summer planning. What I love about this book is that there is a
little something for everyone... there are some activities that might
require leaving the backyard or spending some money on supplies, but there
are also many that can be done right in your own yard with no added (or very
little) expense. They encourage kids to explore their surroundings, and
enjoy what's right in front of them... and is great for the whole family
too. And while it certainly would be a fun addition for a homeschooling family as part of their schooling, this is really great for ANY family looking to get outside more. I know this is one that we are going to be turning to A LOT this
summer.
But the activities don't stop with summer! There are
outdoor activities for all the seasons in this book, so it really is
something that we can turn to throughout the year too. While we may spend
less time outside in the winter and even fall months, this book definitely
inspires us to get out more even then!
If you are looking
for inspiration for your outdoor time with the kids, this book is definitely
one to add to your home library!
