Turn Beach Stones into Sparkly Fairy Gems

My son Rowan made these stones. He collected them from our walks on the beach. He painted them all on his own, and it was his idea to add clumps of glitter. When he was finished the project, he cried “Fairy Stones!”, and that was that. I love these stones. They are all his work, and I am a proud parent. One day when he was at school, I arranged his stones in this little fairy garden for the windowsill in his room. 
The steps involved in making this DIY are quite easy on the parent. Parents, do nothing, well very little. Take them to the beach, or the park, or a lake, or the backyard, and collect. Pick up stones, or shells or branches, and bring them home. You can supply the paint, the glitter, the glue, and spread it out so everything is within good reach. Oh, and give them some paint brushes, they will need those too. But then, step back, ease off, make a good cup of tea, and let them play.

Teacher Appreciation Card Free Printable. The end of the school year is here and I can't believe it. I am torn between looking forward to the lazy relaxed schedule of summer BUT missing the schedule and order of the school year so that I can get more done!⁠
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. ⁠
