Did you know drowning in the leading cause of deat

Did you know drowning in the leading cause of death for children 1-4? And the second leading cause for children 1-14?

May is #WaterSafetyMonth and seconds actually matter when it comes to locating an individual under the surface 💚💛🧡🩷💜 which is why the color of swimsuits and life jackets MATTER. Click the 🔗 in our bio for examples in pools, lakes, and oceans and why we’re reminding you to skip being #beigemom {or blue/white/black} and go BOLD for you entire family when it comes to water.

🛟 And remember no life jacket, color of suit, # of swim lessons should ever replace adult supervision of children in + around water.

It’s a popular feature in winter gear & allows your kids to use their seasonal gear for more one ❄️ season. We won’t purchase snow gear without this “grow with me” feature! Did you know this was thing?!

This is what some of your table scraps could look

This is what some of your table scraps could look like next spring. Compost 😍 #sustainable living at its finest. 👇 Want to know how to start a compost pile?

🌱 Pick a spot to compost (We recommend a compost bin with a lid)
🌱 Create a bed of twigs & grass clippings or leaves at the bottom of your pile
🌱 Start collecting your kitchen scraps in a bowl that you keep in the fridge - tops of veggies & fruits, egg shells, coffee grounds, tea bags, & any cooked food without meat, dairy, & oil
🌱 Layer kitchen scraps with grass clippings (nitrogen source) & items like shredded paper, saw dust, & 100% cotton fabrics (carbon source)
🌱 Shoot for MORE carbon
🌱 If you compost in a bin with a lid, allow rain to hit your compost every so often
🌱 Send the kids out to grab some worms to help with breakdown
🌱 Soon you’ll have beautiful compost for your garden

Happy Earth Month 🌍

📍 Indian Springs Metropark 📍 Environmental D

📍 Indian Springs Metropark
📍 Environmental Discovery Center

It’s a two in one deal! With your Metropark annual pass, daily pass, or free pass through your library + Michigan Activity Pass 👉 you have access to the Metropark + Environmental Discovery Center.

This spot is one of our kid’s favorite activities for both rainy & sunny days. What we enjoy: we’ll hit the play area, ride bikes on the beautiful (paved) trail, indulge in a picnic lunch, & then wander through the Environmental Discovery Center with our scavenger hunt (grab your clipboard next to the help desk) in hand.

4.5 ⭐️ / 5 ⭐️ for accessibility! This Metropark offers a paved trail for those using assisted devices & prefer an even terrain, accessible parking spots, & the Environmental Discovery Center has an elevator for access to all floors. The playground is not totally accessible, though the trail is paved to the play area & there is a paved sidewalk through the play area.

It’s a beautiful day to explore ☀️ #midmichiganmoms #michiganmom #freethingstodo in #michigan #midmichigan #exploremichigan #1000hoursoutside #accessibilityforall
