We are nature enthusiasts who love everything nature has to offer. I teach my children to admire, appreciate, observe, protect and honor Mother Earth. I am a earth sign, so is Gabriel, grounding within nature is something that is needed by my mind and body. For Gabriel, it always calms him down stepping outside. Scarlett is a air sign and like her daddy can spot the smallest detail from far away, like a bird stalking or hunting for food. She's always the first one to spot the most beautiful things. One of our obsessions is...MUSHROOMS! They are simply fascinating. We have done a lot of research to identify the different types we spot on our nature walks. Here you go...
