Hey ,

As the seasons shift and we find our rhythm in the quiet moments, we welcome you to another month with The Village Voice. Here, we share with intention, and honour the natural pace of childhood. This space is for warm mugs, and gentle inspiration.

Here is what has been gathered for you this month.

FEATURED RECIPE

Oli shares a traditional, nourishing soup inspired by old-world Czechoslovak cooking, based on her memories of her mother’s recipe and love of foraged mushrooms.

FAMILY-FUN ACTIVITIES

November 8 was International STEM Day. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

We believe nature offers the perfect place for children to explore and get excited about these subjects. Inspired by the day, we’ve gathered some of our favourite Nature-Themed STEM Activities for you to try. These are a great way for your family to connect and learn through observation and the love of the outdoors.

SEASONAL TIPS & IDEAS

While you’re participating in the STEM activities with your kids, there are a few additional things you can incorporate to enhance the experience:

Observe wildlife and tracks: Look for signs of animals preparing for winter, such as squirrels burying nuts or bird migrations. In areas with snow, look for animal tracks and try to identify them.
Stargazing: With the nights getting longer and clearer, find a cozy spot in the backyard or a local park to stargaze. November features the Leonid meteor shower, offering a special viewing opportunity.
Gardening: Plant spring blooming bulbs or garlic with the kids. Involve them in preparing garden beds and storing tools for winter.

WORDS OF WISDOM

Winter is a wonderful time for introspection and self-reflection. Like the seasons, we are always growing and adjusting to change. Here’s a thought to keep you growing:
