Backyard Blue Jay was born to share ideas that help kids and families grow. To encourage a love for life and learning even when times get tough.

Life is a little bit of a roller coaster at times. It is ok to stop and take a break before getting back on. Here will be ideas to slow down and enjoy some of the simpler things in life with or without kids. To see the world through the eyes of a child is like magic, rediscovering things we as adults may have taken for granted.

Each week there will be something to feed your belly, feed your head, and feed your heart. And of course, a visit from our friend, Blue.

I like to look for the natural learning in everyday life. I encourage you to do the same! Learning doesn’t only come from books and worksheets, but experience too. Don’t be afraid to get a little dirty!

Take a deep breath. Feel what you need to feel. And embrace the world fiercely like a child.
