My kids and I just finished reading My Body My House by Lisa Beres of Green Nest. This is a book meant to teach kids about eco friendly and green living and the dangers of having toxins in your home. It follows the story of a boy who lives in a beautiful wood house surrounded by trees, birds, and butterflies. It also sits adjacent to a garden fresh with healthy and delicious food. The home is a happy and healthy one and so is the body that lives in it (the boy). As the book delightfully tells … [Read more...]

Kid Speak
I just had to share something that my three year old daughter said...quite loudly at the grocery store the other day. :) We were checking out and she was eyeing all the candy that is strategically placed where they will be tempted to grab and she decided she really wanted some chocolate.
