This Earth Day we really wanted to give you something fun and educational for your littles. So we collected our best images and created a DIY download that is actually 5 projects in 1 (the options are actually endless, but we thought 5 suggestions would start you off right). You can print out the download HERE and take any of our ideas above, or let your child create something of his/her own. Have fun, friends and Happy Earth Day!

Well hello, there. It's been a while. I took a looonngg break from blog posting here on CID. But I'm back. Kids are in school. The studio is quiet. Back to work. It's fun to start posting again by giving away a little freebie for my friends. This is one of my favorite alphabet prints. I love the crisp turquoise and citrus palette. It's an alphabet print that adjusts easily to adult eyes. I like that. I think your peepers will too. Anyway, enjoy! -Rebecca Download 8x10 print HERE

I created this DIY printable, which includes a world map...

My husband, two boys, our dog, Rocco and I are about half-way through a roadtrip in our Airstream. California to Wisconsin via the meandering route. Travel has always been imporant for me, and when I had kids, I knew I wanted to instill in my boys that passion for exploring new places. I believe there is no better way to learn about the world, about cultures, art, history, and about yourself. I'll be writing a more extensive post about this trip, but right now, I need to go have some awesome adventures with my boys. For now, I will leave you with some photos of our trip this far, and links to our past posts about global education and traveling...
