		<description><![CDATA[’Tis the season to be freezing, so what could be more fun when you’re stuck inside than to play with ice? Inspired by my son’s current (and very appropriate) school studies on Antarctica, my kids and I went on a hunt for funky containers to fill with water and pop in the freezer to make [...]]]></description>

The Nature Watch Showcase is looking for original clips of budding naturalists in action that you can post on their site and share with the world.

		<description><![CDATA[By Michelle Riggen-Ransom I will concede, at last, that summer is over if for no other reason than the tomatoes are winding down. Late summer, as any gardener will tell you, means an overabundance of tomatoes; picked and eaten warm off the vine, given away to garden-less neighbors, made into sauce, sliced, canned, collected by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Michelle Riggen-Ransom Lately I’ve been spending far too much time over at the Pop!Tech blog, blinding myself with science. I need more nature! Fortunately, I have a lovely husband and son who’ve been tending to our garden over these past few weeks, so I wanted to provide a mid-summer garden check-in. Let me remind [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Michelle Riggen-Ransom This “Meet a Parent” is a little different than usual. To kick off a summer of gardening, I interviewed my friend and avid gardener TJ Sondermann about his gardening habits. TJ is a librarian who is currently at home with his almost seven-month-old son. He’s also a committed urban gardener, a fount [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Mommy, how are babies made?” The question, of course, had been raised before, what with a little sister joining our household just over a year ago. My husband and I have staved off the inevitable from our curious boy with a deft combination of avoidance, generalities, and feel-good euphemisms. While I was pregnant, we talked [...]]]></description>

Now that our littlest one is walking, we’re kicking it up a notch and turning a big section of our yard into a lovely, suburban, organic garden. This year’s [...]]]></description>

Their classic science-class exhibits span the interest of generations: space capsules, a giant lightning-generating machine, and a room full of dinosaurs, including a life-size model of everyone’s favorite carnivore, T-Rex. The museum recently unearthed a fabulous display from the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Michelle Riggen-Ransom Snowshoeing is a great winter activity for getting outside and keeping active. More convenient (and cheaper!) than downhill skiing or snowboarding, and easier for little kids than cross-country skiing, snowshoeing is something the whole family can enjoy with just a little preparation and investment. Last winter, my husband and I bought these [...]]]></description>

Lucky for me, birds are very trendy right now. If you&#8217;re frantically looking for a gift for a bird-lover, or perhaps just [...]]]></description>
