Hello Awesome Parents,

The other day, I caught myself marveling at how fast our kids are growing up and how much they’re learning.

It’s wild, isn’t it?

One minute they’re asking us why the sky is blue, and the next, they’re spouting off facts about planets or solving puzzles that leave us scratching our heads.

It got me thinking about all the amazing resources out there that can turn everyday curiosity into real learning—and how we, as parents, can keep that spark alive.

You know, the other day, my little one came running up to me, eyes wide, asking, “Mom, how do clouds float? Aren’t they heavy?”

It was such a simple question, but it got us talking about the wonders of nature.

That tiny moment reminded me of how naturally curious kids are—and how much fun it is to dive into those questions with them, even when we don’t have all the answers right away.

Sometimes, it’s not about knowing everything, but about discovering together.

I’ve started keeping a little stash of science books and resources handy, so whenever a question like that pops up, we can explore it on the spot.

Last week, we learned about ocean life just because a picture of a whale caught their eye.

It wasn’t a planned lesson or anything formal—it was just a moment of curiosity that turned into a little adventure.

It’s amazing how these small discoveries can light up their world (and, honestly, ours too).

If you haven’t already, try leaning into those little “why” and “how” moments.

Whether it’s a walk in the park, flipping through a book about space, or watching ants build their tiny empires in the yard, there’s always something fascinating to explore.

And don’t worry if you don’t have all the answers (I definitely don’t!).

Sometimes saying, “Let’s find out together,” can be the start of the best conversations.

So here’s to slowing down, asking questions, and discovering the wonders of our world alongside our kids.

Those simple, curious moments—they’re what childhood (and parenthood) is all about.

Let’s soak them in.
