Sorry about that! I didn’t capitalize the J in January in the URL and it turns out that matters. 😉 It should be working now!

Just a heads up that the link to the Wild Kids Magazine PDF is a dead link. The kids and I look forward to reading it once the little glitch is fixed. Happy New Year to you and thank you for creating and sharing resources with us to add an extra dose of inspiration and education into our activities.

I just posted your link on the Baltimore-Washington Home Educators list-serve and I have received several posts posts back. As a long-time Girl Scout leader and a former naturalist in a state park in my 20s, you have done a really nice job with this. Thanks!
