A little explorer on the move...

A little explorer on the move...

Yes

John Box June 18, 2015

Kids are explorers.  From their very first moments on Earth, they explore.

They start small, exploring the crevices of their toes, the little lines on their hands, the smooth cheeks of Mommy and the rougher stubble on Daddy’s face.

With surprising speed, their exploration broadens — to the wooden knot in hardwood floor, the curious objects dangled overhead by a loving big sister.  

And soon, they’re moving.  Rocking and rolling over onto their tummies; squirming to crawl; and finally taking those first unsteady steps.

Everyday is exploration — of themselves, their family, and their environment.

Exploration starts with a powerful impulse: to say “yes” to new experiences with enthusiasm and free of hesitation.

The impulse to say “yes” persists throughout childhood.  When we ask our kids if they’d like to, say, go to Santa Fe with us, they say, “yes!”  They have no idea what Santa Fe is, but it’s something new and that’s good enough for them.

Over time, we adults start saying “no” or “maybe” with increasing frequency.  We explore less, keeping our worlds smaller and more insular.

Let’s expand our bubbles.  Let’s be explorers again.  Let’s say “yes” to new experiences.

Let us explore, dream, and discover too.

SEE WHAT WE'RE UP TO...

Thankful for all the children. They are our light shiners, our joy makers, our hope deliverers. Always showing us how to spread kindness, love deeply, and make beauty in this world together. May we learn from their innocence, and carry their wisdom w
A closer look at our new merino wool long johns - we’ll have 4 new ribbed solids coming your way August 22! Say hello to the newest color mulberry, and super soft as ever. Will make the transition from summer that much comfier 😊
Tip for the novice family of campers- always do a trial test/set up of your gear before you’re out in the wild. This way you’ll avoid puncturing a giant hole in your tent roof 🤦‍♀️ and your kids will only be crying because of mama&rs
I’ll admit I was a bit cranky when I woke up for our shoot (and as the photographer, crankiness is not the best state to be in!). Letting little things bother me and consume my thoughts. But little by little as this shoot started to come togeth
