New family adventure? Sign me up! We had the *best* time exploring the Hatfield McCoy trail system in an ATV from @baccountry in West Virginia this past weekend! We were hosted by @appalachianoutpost and @WVTourism in a great cabin conveniently located right next to the Rock House Trail entrance in Lyburn, West Virginia. The girls and I were a bundle of nerves at the beginning but by lunch we were all laughing and screeching “Let ‘er rip!!” as we splashed through puddles and bounced over bumps. Talk about exhilarating family fun! If you haven’t been on the trails of West Virginia, motorsport-style, I highly recommend it; the girls are already asking when we can go again! #partner #almostheaven

I don't think I ever loved him more than when he'd go fill up my hot tea while I stay snuggled in my sleeping bag in the early mornings of this rafting trip. 😍⁣ ⁣ I knew the temperature change in Utah in June would be drastic, but going from sweating and sunburns in the heat of the day to needing wool socks and beanies at night still took me by surprise!⁣ ⁣ While camping, would you rather the nights be too cold or too hot?⁣ ⁣ (Neither, right?! But if you had to choose...)

What is a growth mindset❔⁣ ⁣ Someone with a growth mindset believes that their abilities can change over time with effort instead of remaining fixed.⁣ ⁣ A growth mindset gives children the courage to try and learn new things. It also stops a child from attaching feelings of worth to the outcome of an event.⁣ ⁣ And guess what- it's quite simple to encourage this in our children!⁣ ⁣ How?⁣ ⁣ ✨ Praise effort; not results. Instead of saying, “Wow, you got all these math problems correct, you’re so smart!” you could instead praise their effort by saying, “Wow, you got all these math problems right; you must have studied hard!”⁣ ⁣ ✨ Use the word “yet.” Look at the difference between, “I can’t do this” (fixed mindset) and “I can’t do this yet” (growth mindset)⁣ ⁣ ✨ Be a positive role model. If your children see you trying new things and accepting new challenges with enthusiasm then they’re going to follow your lead.⁣ ⁣ For more on this topic and book recommendations to help encourage a growth mindset in your child, check out my post:⁣ https://www.ahealthysliceoflife.com/how-to-encourage-a-growth-mindset-in-your-child/

We're back baby! 📚⁣ ⁣ This week we officially started what I'm calling "summer semester." I don't want to speak too soon, but it feels like we were all ready for it.⁣ ⁣ Perhaps because we have such engaging curricula right now, including this Around the World in Picture Books (part 2).⁣ ⁣ We previously completed part 1 and it was a highlight of our Pre-K/1st grade year.⁣ ⁣ @beautifulfeetbooks offers literary-based curriculums. This course includes nature study, folktales, fables, music, art, poetry, and history as you visit each country.⁣ ⁣ Today we're taking off to France... Allons-y!⁣ ⁣ Interested? Read my full review of Part 1 here:⁣ ⁣ https://www.ahealthysliceoflife.com/beautiful-feet-around-the-world-part-1-curriculum-review/
