TOYS ARE EVERYWHERE

When we moved into our new house, I was pregnant, and committed to having the kind of home you see in magazines (the idiocy!). Picture a smiling child playing on an exotic carpet with a few lovely toys scattered about the room. The mom explains the importance that children from an early age should put their toys away after they play and on, and on, blah, blah, blah. Well, fast forward to my life, and picture a gigantic multi-colored play mat smack across from our dining room, and toys that find there ways into every corner of our home. 
Toys are everywhere. I started to take pictures in an attempt to document and make sense of the phenomenon.

    Exactly. And when they're older you'll know they've been in a room because a sofa pillow will be on the floor or a book will be on the chair when you try to sit or a drawer will be left open. They have to leave their mark wherever they go.

    I'm trying to find it charming because I'm sure I'll miss it some day. But mostly I just wish they'd pick up after themselves!

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. 🌸⁠
