It’s Friday! Time for another Friday Feature, where we feature a member of our Instagram community and give you a little more information on the person and the inspiration behind the pretty pictures. Today’s featured photographer is Samantha Elizabeth @thisgrowinglife, a homesteading and homeschooling mom of four in Ontario, Canada. Samantha’s feed is full of incredible ideas for nature school lessons, nature crafts, outdoor activities and fun adventures. Her creativity shines through the images in her feed and I’m constantly in awe of the beautiful life and experiences she’s creating for her family. Her captions are encouraging, helpful and thoughtful. I can’t wait for you to get to know her a bit more. Here’s a little more about Samantha in her own words.
Favorite outdoor experience from this past year?
We spent a week exploring the caves and trails of Bruce Penninsula National Park in Tobermory Ontario. The water there is Caribbean blue and so beautiful! There are even underwater caves that you can swim through!
List three bucket list destinations you’re dying to see?
It’s so hard to pick only 3. I’d love to swim in the Melissani sea cave in Greece. I want to visit all the waterfalls in Croatia. Finally, I want to take a road trip all around Scotland, visiting as many castles as we could along the way.
Any upcoming travel adventures planned for this year that you’re excited about?
We plan to take two road trips this year: one across Canada and the other down to Florida. Road trips are definitely a favorite around here!
What do you love/like the most about Instagram?
I love being able to connect with other mamas and being able to encourage one another!
Favorite place to photograph your kids?
I don’t have a favorite place but I do have a favorite season: autumn! The autumn colors around us are just breathtaking!
