As a child, I was always fascinated by nature. I was outside at first light, and back in begrudgingly when the street lights came on. I played with bugs, tried hatching robin eggs under my bed, made the best mud pies and collected "all the rocks." I refused to wear shoes, because I always loved feeling the earth beneath my feet. Muddy toes and flowers in my hair. Not that much has changed, always the explorer, and infinite student, much to my poor mother's chagrin. 

I started NBJ as a way to share that love of Nature and all things natural with all of you.
