Some Good Family & Kid Caches in Tallahassee (shared, public)

List Owner: Urubu

all of these caches are in safe areas; most are short or very short hikes; most are full-sized with goodies to trade

GC Code

Cache Name

A nice walk in a nice park. This is very close to the Guyte McCord Park cache, so you can find two ammo cans in one short walk around the pond.

A very popular family cache that involves a short walk across an open field near an abandoned house.

Parking is tough: you have to take the little turn-off on southbound Blairstone, just after Mahan. Aim to park at about 30 26.949, 84 15.087.

After you park, walk under Blairstone and up the hill to the cache...

An easy find in a very nice park. Only a few hundred yards of walking, but you can continue around the pond to What's Behind Waverly and get two ammo can finds in a single stroll.

I like this one, but it's a hike (maybe 1.5? miles round trip from the nearest parking). The trail out to the cache site is very nice, and it's a full-sized cache that's likely to have goodies to trade. A peaceful walk, but a bit long for young kids.

This is close to the fake location of Tallahassee Blues

What is Self-Care?

Self-care is exactly what the word says. It is caring for oneself. In today's day and age, our lives are so busy, and we are expected to do so much in a short period of time, that often we don't even consider taking a moment to ourselves. Eventually, we burn out. Sometimes, we are able to recognize that, and take some time for ourselves. Other times, it may lead to more serious circumstances such as mental health illness and depression.

You probably have heard the 'overflowing teacup' analogy. In order to help others, we first need to fill our own cup. We need to be well ourselves, to have the strength and energy to give what's overflowing to those around us. If we gave what is in our cup to others, our own supply of energy will be depleted much faster, and we won't be able to help ourselves, never mind those we love.

I like to think about self-care, as nourishment of my body, mind, and soul. So here are some little, free or inexpensive things you can do, to care for yourself for just a few minutes a day. Because many of these ideas don't take much time, many experts recommend doing several of these things over the course of the day. My advice would be to try and do at least three things, one from each of the categories below. Nourish all three; your body, mind, and soul every day, and you will see the difference in no time.

Nourishing Your Body

This component of self-care focuses on taking care of your body. When we think about nourishing our body, most often two things come to mind: exercise and food. Below are a few ideas to get you started.

Go for a walk

Replaced the doughnut with fruit

Drink a glass of water right after you wake up

Take a yoga class

Take time to eat your dinner, don't rush

Stretch for five minutes

Try a new smoothie

Go for a bike ride

Truly savour your dessert

Try a new exercise video

Nourishing Your Mind

Nourishing your mind is all about forgetting about the stresses of the day and taking a minute or two to allow your mind to relax. Often times it includes reading, listening, watching things that bring us pleasure, or talking to people whose company we enjoy. All that to take our mind off of the daily hurdles. Here are a few examples of things you can do to nourish your mind:

Listen to an inspirational podcast

Watch a movie

Read for fun

Call a loved one

Attend a workshop at your local recreation centre

Write a journal

Learn a new skill

Pick up a new hobby

Go for a coffee with a friend

Search for pictures of things you enjoy on the Internet and then browse through them

Plan your next vacation

Nourishing Your Soul

A big part of nourishing your soul is based on gratitude, service to others, and truly getting to know yourself. All those things help us realize, that we are just a little speck in this universe, connected in wonderful ways to everything and everyone around us. There are many different ways to nourish your soul. Some of them include:

Meditate for five minutes

Play with your pet

Write down five things you are grateful for today

Do a random act of kindness

Attend prayer service

Close your eyes and take 10 deep breaths

Donate to a food bank

Cuddle with your children

Write a note of encouragement for someone who may need it

Pay it forward at a drive-through window

Other Ways to Nourish Your Body, Mind, and Soul

There are many other ways to nourish your mind, body, and soul. Some of the activities relax you in more than one way. Self-care also includes pampering yourself in little ways. You could try one or more of these to start with:

Sleep in

Get a spa treatment

Enjoy your favourite gourmet tea or coffee

Sing along to your radio while driving

Skype or FaceTime with a friend who lives far away

Take a bubble bath

Play board games with your kids

Go for a drive in the country

Go on a hike

Visit a farmers market or a craft fair

Watch the sunset

Hug someone

Take the Self-Care Challenge

Regardless of what you choose to do, take a few minutes each day for yourself. I am well aware that it is not an easy task at times. One strategy I have used in the past during my busiest moments, was to actually schedule me-time. It could be a one minute deep breathing session every hour during my workday or a one hour exercise class. Sometimes it is a lunch hour coffee with a friend or simply taking extra 10 minutes to enjoy my dinner. We all have different schedules and different demands on our time. But in order to keep going, to stay positive, and to keep our body, mind and, soul healthy, we need to take care of ourselves.

So I invite you to take a one-week self-care challenge. Print the self-care challenge card found below and see if you can cross out each and every one of the squares within a week. It would mean, that you need to do about four little things for yourself each day. Feel free to swap the ideas on the card with your own or with the ones listed above.

Let me know how it went.

Cheers to a happy and healthy life!

Ensuring Children and Young People's Social, Emotional, and Mental Well-being

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) can affect children and young people directly and indirectly. Beyond getting sick, many young people's social, emotional, and mental well-being has been impacted by the pandemic. Trauma faced at this developmental stage can continue to affect them across their lifespan.

Some of the challenges children and young people face during the COVID-19 pandemic relate to:

Changes in their routines (e.g., having to physically distance from family, friends, worship community)

Breaks in continuity of learning (e.g., virtual learning environments, technology access and connectivity issues)

Breaks in continuity of health care (e.g., missed well-child and immunization visits, limited access to mental, speech, and occupational health services)

Missed significant life events (e.g., grief of missing celebrations, vacation plans, and/or milestone life events)

Lost security and safety (e.g., housing and food insecurity, increased exposure to violence and online harms, threat of physical illness and uncertainty for the future)

CDC developed this COVID-19 Parental Resource Kit: Ensuring Children and Young People's Social, Emotional, and Mental Well-being to help support parents, caregivers, and other adults serving children and young people in recognizing children and young people's social, emotional, and mental health challenges and helping to ensure their well-being.

Explore different types of resources available to help you support young people's social, emotional, and mental well-being across the lifespan.

This activity book is intended to provide information to young children and families about how to prevent and cope with COVID-19. This resource may be useful for children and young people of all ages.

As a family, follow the path and scan the QR codes to learn tips for a healthy school year! This resource may be useful for children ages 6-12 years.

Looking for a fun way to encourage your kids to spend more time outdoors? Send them on a nature scavenger hunt! My kids happily head outside to hunt for treasure on a scavenger hunt and usually become so interested and engaged in what they are doing and what they've found or collected, that they will then stay outside for ages!

The nature scavenger hunt I am sharing today has a fun twist too - it encourages children to use each of their five senses to find the treasures on their hunt. There are so many things to see, smell, hear, touch and even taste outdoors (obviously, speak to your children about not actually tasting anything from the garden without checking with you). For teachers and homeschoolers, this makes the scavenger hunt a great addition to your learning about the five senses activities program.

So print a copy, grab a clipboard and a pencil and head outdoors for some treasure hunting fun! Take a basket if you wish to keep your treasures. You can even bring them back indoors for use to in a nature collage or try making leaf faces.

Ensuring Children and Young People's Social, Emotional, and Mental Well-being

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) can affect children and young people directly and indirectly. Beyond getting sick, many young people's social, emotional, and mental well-being has been impacted by the pandemic. Trauma faced at this developmental stage can continue to affect them across their lifespan.

Some of the challenges children and young people face during the COVID-19 pandemic relate to:

Changes in their routines (e.g., having to physically distance from family, friends, worship community)

Breaks in continuity of learning (e.g., virtual learning environments, technology access and connectivity issues)

Breaks in continuity of health care (e.g., missed well-child and immunization visits, limited access to mental, speech, and occupational health services)

Missed significant life events (e.g., grief of missing celebrations, vacation plans, and/or milestone life events)

Lost security and safety (e.g., housing and food insecurity, increased exposure to violence and online harms, threat of physical illness and uncertainty for the future)

CDC developed this COVID-19 Parental Resource Kit: Ensuring Children and Young People's Social, Emotional, and Mental Well-being to help support parents, caregivers, and other adults serving children and young people in recognizing children and young people's social, emotional, and mental health challenges and helping to ensure their well-being.

Explore different types of resources available to help you support young people's social, emotional, and mental well-being across the lifespan.

This activity book is intended to provide information to young children and families about how to prevent and cope with COVID-19. This resource may be useful for children and young people of all ages.

As a family, follow the path and scan the QR codes to learn tips for a healthy school year! This resource may be useful for children ages 6-12 years.

Google Forms - create and analyze surveys, for free.

Please fill out this brief survey about how your family might want to engage with RE at UUCT this fall.

As COVID cases in Florida continue at critical levels, in-person offerings are not an option at this time and likely will not be for several months. As we know we are all stretched thin and exhausted at this phase of the pandemic, our goal is to find some consistent programming options during this time that allow families to come and fill their cups when they need to rather than feeling obligated to perform, volunteer, or show up every week.

Your feedback is valuable and will help us design a calendar of events and offerings that we hope will better meet your family's needs. As always, please don't hesitate to contact me at uuctdre2810@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.
