After I had my second child (2 kids in 2 years) I found myself going through the depths of postpartum anxiety & depression. I was feeling farther and farther away from the Lord. I found refuge outside, in nature. I was more easily able to live in the moment, be content, hear The Lord & actually relax my mind. I had a newborn & a 2 year old, it wasn't easy to be outside - when I needed to nurse my baby I found that my 2 year old would either run off or get very frustrated. I started thinking of things to keep her busy. I thought nature crafts would be a good idea but I didn't want to bring all those craft supplies outside (I had enough to clean up everyday). I started designing sprouting minds crafts - easy to take on the go, sticky enough to hold rocks and sticks and a 2 year old could do it on their own. I decided to share these crafts with the world and start this Etsy shop. Maybe these crafts won't be life changing for you, like they were for me but I sincerely hope that they bring a smile to your face. Thanks for reading :)
