We made a Terrarium

 

This was a great project to do with my son/lover of all things dirt related. Digging and pouring earth is one of his greatest areas of expertise, and he was thrilled to put his talent to good use. Our terrarium is not one of the best you have ever set your eyes on but, but we had a good time.

What was nice to see is Rowan’s nurturing side. He was so very attentive to this little garden space wanting to carefully water and arrange it’s contents. Some healthy lessons in attentiveness and caring were learned inside this glass jar. Also, the creativity and imagination parts of his brain got a good workout too. I highly recommend clearing a little time in your day for this one.

Terarium Supplies

Potting Soil
Stones
Small Plants
Moss
Glass container
Cute accessories for decoration

First add a layer bottom of the jar with stones of your choice. This creates proper drainage for your plants and moss. The next layer will be your soil to house your plants. Moss goes on the top layer and adds a pretty floor for your accessories. In our case, a lego gardener, ceramic mushroom, a pine cone and pretty stones.

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. 🌸⁠
