In a blog post, last week I talked about the power of inspiring instead of entertaining our children.

Amazingly, this weekend, my girls put my words into action. And I did nothing to set this up. We always have paper available. We always have markers available. And we always have magnifying glasses available. That was it. That was all the ‘planning’ that this ‘activity’ took. I didn’t ask the girls to do anything with these materials.

But at one point this weekend, I looked outside to this scene.

And then all this beautiful work turned into this book…

full of pages like this.

Now that’s inspiration!
