OUTING

SCAVENGER HUNT

INSTRUCTIONS

The outing this week is another scavenger hunt!
Get a piece of paper and let the children make patches of
a few different colors with crayons. Then, head outside
for a walk or to the park and try to find something that
matches each color! If the weather isn’t nice outside, no
problem! Do the scavenger hunt indoors. Maybe even at
a grocery store, finding food in specific categories!
Ex: do all fruit, then boxed items, then frozen items!

The Timeless Beauty of Motherhood In a world fill The Timeless Beauty of Motherhood

In a world filled with fleeting trends and ever-changing ideals of beauty, one aspect of life remains eternally captivating – the beauty of motherhood. It is a beauty that transcends age, culture, and time, touching the hearts of people across generations.

The beauty of motherhood lies not in superficial aesthetics, but in the profound depths of love, sacrifice, and resilience. It’s a beauty that radiates from the soul, reflecting the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child.  #bostonnanny #nannylife #nannyagency #sugarplumnannies #hingham #scituate #cohasset #bostonmoms #orangecounty #dallasmoms #sandiegomom #sanfranmom #dcmoms #chicagomom #charlestonmoms
