Noticing
There is wonder tucked into ordinary days — in birdsong, changing light, growing things, and the moments we might otherwise pass by.
Maple Prairie Habitat
where noticing becomes care.
our home yard is recognized as wildlife habitat through the National Wildlife Federation and Washington’s Habitat at Home program.
Hi, I’m April.
Writer, maker, dreamer, mom, and the person behind Maple Prairie.
I stop mid-walk for flowers, squirrels and birds, wander off when something catches my curiosity, and take far too many pictures of basically everything — though I’m not convinced there is such a thing. 😉
I call those little moments I notice that light me up inside twinklings.
Maple Prairie grew from a love of exploring and a heart for caring — for people, stories, wild things, and the places we call home.
I write stories, create keepsakes, tend our wildlife habitat, and follow curiosity wherever the season leads.
Maple Prairie is my way of noticing what I love, making something from it, and sharing it forward — a story, a keepsake, a moment of connection that become part of a family story.
