As I see it, one of the most important jobs I have as a mother is instilling a great love, respect and curiosity for nature in my son.  Now that Finnley is almost 10 months old, he is beginning to crawl, cruise and explore the world around him. 

To watch Finnley unearth new textures and sensations is pure joy. When is the last time you felt flowers between your toes?

Reach for those Cherry Blossoms!

Flower crowns are not just for little girls; I think this halo of olive is quite regal for our little Caesar.

Re-discovering the world around me through Finnley's eyes is the greatest gift in the world. Thanks little buddy!
