We’ve got a few bird feeders hanging in our backyard. We have a couple on hooks near our deck, and we have an acrylic one outside our kitchen window. We enjoy watching the robins and cardinals and blue jays flying to and fro.

We love when the robins build nests in our trees. It’s always exciting to watch the entire life cycle from egg to hatchlings to leaving the nest. Typically, the robins build in my neighbor’s tree, but this year they built one in our tree, too! Emma was so excited!

 Are you learning about birds?  Take a look at this FREE Backyard Birds Notebooking Page set.  It's a great way to help your kids learn more about the birds that are common to your own backyard.

Several years ago, Emma and I did a unit study all about birds. If you, too, would like to do a fun bird-themed unit study, you’ll love these resources and the HUGE printable pack I’ve created.

First, I would suggest gathering a large selection of bird-themed books. Here are a few suggestions:

  • National Geographic Kid Bird Guide of North America
  • Birds, Nests and Eggs
  • Backyard Birds (Field Guides for Young Naturalists)
  • Beginner Birdwatcher’s Book (with 48 Stickers)
  • About Birds: A Guide for Children
  • Stokes Beginner’s Guide to Birds: Eastern Region
  • The Boy Who Drew Birds: A Story of John James Audubon
  • Birds
  • Fifty Favorite Birds Coloring Book
  • Fine Feathered Friends: All About Birds (A Cat in the Hat Book)

After you’ve read a few (or all) of the books above, complete one or more of the following hands-on activities:

  • Let kids make a nest.
  • Here’s another variation of a handmade bird’s nest.
  • Here’s a hands-on activity that demonstrates how a bird’s beak is adapted for the food it eats.
  • Make bird feeder treats to attract birds to your own backyard.
  • Learn basic woodworking skills while building a simple birdhouse.
  • Learn about the parts of a bird with these printable bird puzzles.
  • One of my daughter’s favorite activities is to dissect owl pellets!

To round out your unit study, print out this 54-page pack of Backyard Birds Notebooking Pages. In this pack, you’ll find a set of 3-part cards featuring 12 common backyard birds. For each of the twelve birds, you’ll also find the following pages:

  • Coloring page
  • Characteristics page
  • Write a sentence page
  • Research page

Our Latest Shenanigans

See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I thought they were goners. See, my sister gave us the bulbs for Asiatic Lillies for Christmas last year, down in a bag full of dirt and told us to take them home and plant them in the cold so they would rest and come back next year. Or freeze them. I did neither. I knew we weren’t in our own home yet, and we were hoping to move into our forever home this summer, so I threw them in the closet and waited. They stayed dormant, and started to develop roots in the Spring, still in the bag in my closet. Come June 5, we moved into our new house, and I pulled out the bag around June 15 to plant them and found that the roots were turning to mush. The bulbs were starting to rot. I planted them anyway, but to make matters worse, I accidentally planted them upside down because I thought the roots were actually sprouts. Oops. Then, I hired my boys and their friends to weed the bed where these are planted and forgot to tell them to leave these alone. The “sprouts” disappeared. I thought they were gone forever. Here it is the middle of August, and a week or so ago, I found these baby Asiatic Lillies coming up. I texted a pic to my sis to ask if this was what they look like. Sure enough after all that trauma, this gift survived. I won’t have blooms this year, but I’m told they will come back next year and survive to bloom. What a sweet blessing that will be, God willing. And a sweet reminder to persevere under trials and hardship. God is doing something bigger, something hidden, something better than we can ever imagine. Hang in there! #momlife #momfierce #momforthewin #firmlyplanted
Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff, especially the unmasking of pedophilia and it’s prominence in the US and in our backyards. This horrifies and frightens me. I am so grateful to know that God will prevail. In the end, He wins. Everything seems so dark here in the US and it’s because of the spiritual forces of evil — but I know God will prevail. His love never fails. I’m putting my hope in this truth. #loveneverfails #godwins #godisgreater #momlife #momfierce

There are so many things I need to tell you about There are so many things I need to tell you about this picture. First #sheisloved campaign with @mercyhouseglobal and sheispriceless.org - check that out it’s important. Second - that cute bracelet came from @mercyhouseglobal about a month ago and *didn’t fit*. Today it’s loose enough to twist. I haven’t lost a lot of pounds according to the scale — I kinda stalled out three or four weeks ago at 17 pounds lost — but apparently I’m losing fat. That’s a victory. Third, my hands look like my moms and will some day look like my grandmas. I consider that a blessing.  Finally, it’s been a beautiful day😍 but I’m kinda sad it took me this long to find a red marker and share the love. If you have one handy, it’s not too late to jump on board with @wearethatfamily and be a world-changer! #worldchanger #momfierce #prayformoms #especiallyteenmomsinkenya #mymomrocks
