Homeschool Ways with Adriana Zoder7 Nov 2025

How to Do Nature Journaling

Discover the transformative power of nature walks in this uplifting video from Homeschool Ways! 🌿 As a busy homeschool mom, I know how overwhelming life can feel—but stepping outside for a solo stroll or a family adventure can recharge your body, soothe your soul, and ignite endless learning opportunities.

In this episode, I dive deep into the incredible benefits of nature walks: from boosting physical health and reducing stress to enhancing emotional well-being, sharpening mental focus, and fostering social bonds with your kids (or just some peaceful alone time for YOU!).I'll share practical tips to get started, even on hectic days, and recommend my top 3 must-read nature books to inspire your journeys:

- "52 Ways to Walk" by Annabel Abbs-Streets - The one I reference in the video with even the 12-minute walk idea. Grab it on Amazon. https://amzn.to/4hExhx5 [affiliate link]

- "Last Child in the Woods" by Richard Louv – A game-changer on why kids (and adults!) need more nature to combat "nature-deficit disorder." Borrow from your library or grab it on Amazon! https://amzn.to/3WRTLkV [affiliate link]

- "The Nature Fix" by Florence Williams – Science-backed proof of how forests heal our brains and hearts. Perfect for evidence-loving homeschoolers. https://amzn.to/4ocyePL [affiliate link]
