5 Ways to Get Children Gardening

By Tiffany 7 Comments

Children have so many ways to keep busy. Computers, televisions, tablets, game consoles, the Internet, and more. However, as a parent, you know that some of those “things to do” are rather mindless and void of any learning value. The question is, how do we get children away from the mindless into something not only educational, but fun as well. Take gardening for example. Gardening for kids can be more than a hobby; it can be a life skill that can serve them for the rest of their lives. … [Read more...]

Give A Cluck – Choose Cage Free Eggs

By Tiffany 1 Comment

In my mind there is nothing like farm fresh eggs from chickens who are pastured and allowed to roam and eat grass and bugs. They have deep orange colored yolks and they are out of this world tasty.

Green Games for Earth Day and Beyond

By Tiffany 2 Comments

Looks like I have some new games to add to my mammoth post on green board games. Educational Insights was kind enough to send me a trio of their educational, green games for my children and I to play with for Earth Week and beyond. All 3 games are printed with vegetable ink on recycled paper. They have wood and paper pieces, no plastic and they are really rather sparse in gadgets and "stuff" overall. They are very much minimalist games. Another plus is that all three have a nature theme going … [Read more...]
