An Adventure Themed Nursery (and a Free Printable)

March 16, 2020 Jess

While we're dreaming of future family trips, we're trying to instill an early love for adventure in the littlest one. It seemed fitting that the inspiration for his nursery struck while we were exploring Yoho National Park in British Columbia, Canada. Just a short drive from Banff National Park, Yoho is smaller but just as stunning.

J O S H U A T R E E // I have so many thoughts on this place and experience. It’s served as a really rich family destination, despite its blink-and-you-might-miss-it first impression.

And we leave this weekend 👀
S I X M O N T H S // We’ve got a rolling, bouncing machine on our hands. At six months, Ella Jo rarely stays put, except to eat … which she’s now doing daily (mango and green beans are a current fave).
