Leaf Rubbings
...in a time lacking in truth and certainty and filled with anguish and despair, no woman should be shamefaced in attempting to give back to the world, through her work, a portion of its lost heart.
-Louise Bogan
I strive to create an atmosphere in our home that offers a place of privacy and safety. A place for learning and enrichment. A place of joy and memory making. A retreat from the cares of the world. A place of simple abundance.
One way that I love to create fun memories for my family is through traditions. Simple and frugal activities that bring joy to our family. Our children are growing up. I can't let anymore days pass without intentionally creating loving memories for our family.
One of our September Memory Making Activities is Leaf Rubbing
Place white paper on top of a leaf (green leaves work best as they aren't too dry and don't fall apart), skeleton side facing up. Instruct children to rub crayons gently over the paper. The shapes of the leaves with their patterns will become visible, creating unique and beautiful nature pictures.
I share this lesson on fall leaves with our children as we create.
What's your favorite memory making activity for September?

oh neat! and...about your question. i'm not sure that i have one. but you have inspired me...
do you have a list of intentional monthly memory making? if so...maybe you would consider sharing?
happy tuesday!
I love this idea.
I used to do special things with my kiddos and some of the grands but now my own are adults and most of my grands live away. When we do see them, we are trying to squeeze as much into the short time we are together as possible. 
ohhh neat craft! I'm definitely going to have to do that with the kiddos I babysit. :)
