Raising monarchs was one of the highlights of my kids’ summer- and the last butterfly emerged from her chrysalis right before the back to school rush, so it felt like we got to mark that last thing off our bucket list just in time. 
There is something magical about watching life transform before your eyes, and that magic gets magnified when you share the experience with children and their innocent, impressionable eyes… These memories are here to stay!
Like most of how my life happens, we were in the right place at the right time and stumbled upon a chance to adopt and raise these butterflies.
I love it when serendipity takes center stage!
My mom spotted this one in her gardens!
