SCENES FROM THE WEEKEND

This weekend escaped me. We did just a little bit of this and a little bit of that. No major projects were started or finished, nothing got cleaned and organized, heck I am just happy that I got all (most) of the raisins Rowan is perpetually dropping everywhere off the kitchen floor. I can’t really remember one specific stand out thing we did, but all in all, we had a good time. I did make a batch of muesli which made me feel crafty and productive, but mostly I followed Rowan around while he picked things up, chewed them, then put them down again. He is talking a bit more now which is fun. We played the game “Gar!”.  Rowan looks out the front window and shouts “Gar!” to cars as they drive by. We also played the game “Hi!”. Similarly this entails shouting “Hiyee!” but with the added twist of enthusiastic waving and a big grin. The greeting is directed at anyone or anything: trees, windows, dogs, garbage cans and even the occasional person. We also played “Bye!”. You get the picture. Other than that, we took many walks, had our share of bubble baths and hung around in our pjs.

    I love your photos! Glad you had a great weekend too. Just wait til he starts putting the raisins up his nose! Can't remember exactly when that started (I think around 1.5), but my 2.5 year old Naked Girl still puts things up her nose from time to time. Last night it was rice. SO fun trying to get that sticky mess out!

    Thanks! Omg, I feel like checking his nose right now! I think I got peas stuck up my nose twice when I was a kid, so it is genetic! Thanks for the heads up. Your blog is hilarious. I will keep reading.

When I was challenged with my own feelings while parenting, I started creating activities that could help kids and parents open up about their emotions. It was so therapeutic and helpful, so I put my feelings activities together into a book. I created the book that I wanted for my own parenting, and I am so thrilled to share it with you.
Vanilla Blueberry Yogurt Pops. I made this recipe this week after posting it in my newsletter and it was so fresh and yummy, so sharing it here! I used to make these yogurt pops all of the time for my son and he would eat them for breakfast. If blueberries are not in season use frozen wild blueberries or whatever frozen fruit you like. They are really easy to make and you can even add some oats if you want to make them even more nutritious for breakfast. ⁠
Try Flower Breathing 🌸 In my last reel, I showed how to make these cardboard Lavender scented flowers. The "pistol" is scented with lavender oil which is a very calming and make it fun. The act of breathing in and out, calms the nervous system and get kids introduced to breath work. Flip through the images and use it as a guide plus one of the images is instructions that you can screen shot. 🌸⁠
