If that sounds too hard or uninteresting to your family, I welcome you to download and read this month’s newsletter to read and see how other families are making their rock study fabulous!

This could not have come at a better time! My son is obsessed with Botany. But as of late, he is really into rock collecting and wants to know about each rock.

Love this! As someone who loves and appreciates all the wonderful things in nature that God has given us, but also has no formal training to be able to pass a deeper understanding to my children: thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for all your hard work that you put into this blog. I am someone who loves nature and greatly appreciates the wonderful creation God has given us, but I have no formal training to pass a deeper understanding onto my children. This is a wonderful site full of information! Thank you!
