Indianapolis Zoo Day

-

 Hello and Happy First Day of School!!!

I’ll have pictures on that tomorrow, but for today I’m going to share my Indianapolis Zoo Pictures.

I had relatively low expectations going into the day for the zoo because Cincy is just so amazing. We were planning on meeting up with my wonderful cousin C, who was in town for a math conference #stemwomen. 🥰🥰🥰 The zoo was an option that she’d suggested and I agreed would be easiest for the boys and boy was she right!!!!

Here are the pictures from the day and I highly recommend the explorer pass for the animal interactions as that absolutely made the day for the boys!!! (And me 😉)
















10/10 will go again though the lorikeets we’ll just have the adults feed because they flew to Leo first and having a bird land on your head when you’re not expecting it was not super fun for him so I let him have my phone camera to video and take pictures and he got some beautiful ones of these birds showing their sass!


That’s all for today!

💛 Jess

 Hey there! I'm Jess, a mom in Cincinnati Ohio, who is passionate about my family, doing my best to help the planet, and, hopefully, bringing a little positivity to the internet. I've worked on doing a practice blog for the past year to see if this is something that I want to pursue and it has been very therapeutic for me.  As an intro, because no one wants to hear me ramble in paragraph form, here's 10 things about me: 1. My family is my priority. Always.  2. I'm extremely type A and therefore already have a schedule for this, if my mother ever reads this she's likely rolling her eyes and telling me to chill. 3. I can't sit still and will therefore fill my schedule part a a coping mechanism and part just because it's me. 4. I've been working extremely hard this past year to prioritize things that serve our family and saying goodbye to whatever adds unnecessary stress. 5. I'm a hardcore Enneagram 2 (the helper) and therefore my professional backgroun

Good News Thursday: Netflix Kids shows featuring conservation and ecological responsibility

-
 Good Morning! Both of my kids have about one to two hours of scheduled 'rest' time every day. This is my chance to do some chores that just aren't as safe or feasible with little helpers or frankly take a break myself so that I can remain patient and centered for them.  During this time, they can nap or look through books, we love I Spy, especially with letters or ocean animals, but sometimes when they're a little too excited and really need to be in separate rooms, I'll let Jamie watch a TV show while I'm trying to get Leo to sleep. (Leo just needs a little more than the average bear and while we've weaned off of 14-16 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period, he still needs minimum of 12 to be his happy self.) I've been pleasantly surprised to find that there are a lot of ecologically responsible kids shows on netflix and so here's a list of our favorites! 5. Izzy's Koala World - this is an 'Irwin Family' style show of a family in Australia
