Earth Day Activities!

Happy Earth Day everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful Monday, We are both having a pretty good day despite the gloomy weather. We are going to be enjoying our Earth Day by painting some stuff indoors and pretend cooking some delicious ;-) healthy meals. hehe

here are some ideas you and your little one can do depending on the weather and what you have available to you:

Play Dough
Painting
Drawing with crayons (use up carton from cereal boxes to make a nice card)
Sensory box (no need for rainbow rice, use beans, lentils, flour... so many recipes around)
Reading
Puzzles
if you have a tablet (you can read, do puzzles, practice the alphabet or shapes... it pretty limitless)
Pretend play
Go out and play, look and point at different things around you.
Go to a playground
Get dirty with them and plant something or Play in a sandbox!
Cook something together or ask them to help you put the dishes away
Make a tent out of sheets, furniture and cushions.
Sing and Dance (my daughter goes crazy around music.
Watch a movie
If your child is a little older you can sew a doll or make collages or other fun crafts.

There is so much you can do. I will be posting a new Sensory Recipe tomorrow hopefully and this awesome cookie recipe I found. Big soft cookies with choc chunks anyone?!?!

I'm off to try to sew a pair of leggins for my little carebear (new to sewing), Wish me luck!!! :D

Hi again! I have been a little M.I.A since the new year. I apologize, but I am back again and I wanted to share with you my newest thing. I stumbled across the Whole30 Challenge, and after reading about it and it's benefits, I decided I wanted to take part in this challenge too. So, Today was my first day, it's been good so far but I can see there will be some difficult days ahead as far as cravings go. For my first day I started out with Eggs, bacon & an apple for breakfast. for lunch I was a getting hungry and needed something quick so, I had a rolled egg omelet & a delicious salad packed with lots of yummy things and I just sprinkled it with some salt, pepper & lemon. For dinner I made more of an effort, I had turkey veggie patties, butternut squash baked fries & some salad vegetables on the side. If you would like the recipe for my Turkey veggie Burgers just follow the steps below. 1 lb Ground Turkey 1 small onion or half a regular sized onion chop
