I love Nicole! What a great podcast!
She shared so many easy ideas. Nicole is brilliant!
I love Nicole’s site, The Activity Mom. This was a great podcast and a great reminder for me to get out some new things for my 2 year old. I know that I need to be intentional and take time to plan for play. Thanks for sharing this interview!
