Have a theme day! 🏝 Change up the monotony of being at home all day everyday by having a theme day with your kids. An easy one to get started - beach day! 🏖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You don’t need to have a box of luau decorations like me to have a beach day - pull out your beach towels, sand toys, blow up mats, swim suits, flip flops and pour yourself a colourful drink! Type virtual beach into google and you’ll find tons of beach videos to transport you or watch Moana! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Turn a same old day into something new and exciting! What other themes could you try? How about a virtual trip to Disney or a country & western themed day? This was from our luau themed dinner last Friday. Give me some more ideas! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You asked! So I’ve answered. Today I put up a blog about low-waste Easter ideas for crafts, Easter hunts and baskets. It’s going to be a different kind of Easter this year. And while these little bunnies know they will be spending it apart, it can still be made special. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make one of the Easter crafts and send it as a card to the grandparents you’d normally share Easter with. I’ve also included some ideas to connect virtually with family for Easter seeing our gatherings will not be happening. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve also created an at home Easter scavenger hunt as an alternative to the plastic eggs that are often hidden. The scavenger hunt is a downloadable printable with ready made clues you hide that will lead them to their Easter surprise. Your little one still gets the fun of the hunt without the plastic. Click the link in my bio for all the Easter goodies! 🐰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The first Earth Hour took place in 2007 and turned

The first Earth Hour took place in 2007 and turned into an annual event, where communities were encouraged to turn off their lights for one hour. It shows the power of people all coming together to raise awareness to the climate crisis we are facing. And while we can’t come together physically, we can come together by participating. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ve already seen dramatic changes to the carbon emissions by staying put. We’ve seen governments take swift, decisive action for the pandemic crisis and it’s swift decisions that will be needed once this is over and our climate crisis continues to battle on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So tonight at 8:30 turn off your lights for an hour and share what you and your family are doing online and tag @wwfcanada

Grateful to still be laughing after 2+ weeks in isolation with you. Sure glad I’m stuck inside with you @beakaleak - it’s definitely not all sunshine and roses. There’s anxiety, there’s sadness but this sunny weather has me feeling good today 👌

Warm weather is coming which means working from the deck, pulling out the fire pit and no socks! 📷 by @olivephototo from our engagement photo shoot

Who else needs to hear this? Because I definitely

Who else needs to hear this? Because I definitely do! For the last week and a half I’ve been pretty focused on the things I can no longer do - like working from coffee shops, working in person events, purchasing supplies to make new rentals, going out for date night and seeing friends. I’ve been spending time feeling a little lost. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But we are in this for a while, so I need to start thinking about the things I CAN do! Tackling garden preparation, cleaning all the windows, adding some virtual services, cooking healthy meals, giving out free resources for families on tons of topics I’m passionate on. Help me (and maybe you) reframe our mindset. What else CAN we be doing during this time at home? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How cute is this activity!? A past client of mind

How cute is this activity!? A past client of mind posted this on Instagram this morning and I had to share. Her sister name this “I spy” collage for her kids to do as an activity.
You could turn this activity into two by choosing a friend and having each kid cut out pictures from a magazine and make an “I Spy” list. Then swap (with porch drop offs and leave the collages for a few days to play it safe) and have each kid try to find all the items. Then have them FaceTime to chat about their collages! It’s a great way to stay connected with friends when you can’t play in person!

Birthdays are not cancelled. We may be stuck in our homes and not allowed to see our friends. Our routines may be disrupted and our anxiety might be at an all time high. But this is our new normal for awhile. So let’s do everything we can to thrive in it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that means continuing to celebrate milestones and little victories. April birthdays will still come and go. So let’s make sure to celebrate them. I’m currently working on a blog about how to make birthdays special in this time of social distancing and also creating a new virtual product for little ones. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Comment below if your little one has a birthday in April and let us know how old they are turning! 🥳

So we’re onto week two. I’m still feeling very scattered, unsure of what to post, what to work on, what direction to go and how to move forward.
One thing I have loved seeing over the past week are the ways everyone is sharing so much love with each other. Family members dropping off favourite treats on porches. Neighbours chatting more than 6ft away on their porches to share a drink. Zoom calls amongst friends. Seeing a neighbour on a walk from across the road and saying hello instead of averting your gaze down.
Social distancing doesn’t mean you have to be unsocial. You just need to get creative. Check in on family, chat about how you’re feeling with friends...now more than ever you need your people. Lean on them. Support them. 💕

If you live in Hamilton, specifically in the Kirke

If you live in Hamilton, specifically in the Kirkendall area, I’ve created a fun photo scavenger hunt for when the sun comes out and you are out for a walk. I’ve taken photos of interesting things seen in our neighbourhood and now it’s your kids’ job to seek them out!
You can make one of these in your own neighbourhood too. I got the idea from another parent in Hamilton who did it with her kids.
I’ve created a whole list of indoor and outdoor low waste social distancing activities which you can grab at the link in my bio. It also includes the full pages of this photo scavenger hunt (Instagram cuts it off) Keep busy friends!

“Spring is a lovely reminder of how beautiful ch

“Spring is a lovely reminder of how beautiful change can be.” Today is the first day of spring. There has been a whole lot of change in the last week. And change is going to keep happening for a while. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But my hope is when we get through this we see the silver lining of this change. Maybe we’ll appreciate so much more the little things in life - walking to grab a coffee or socializing on a patio with friends. We’ll see what staying put does to our planet and our carbon emissions. And we’ll care deeply for our community and our small businesses who rely on us for support. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Right now we are in the thick of it. We stay home. We do our part. Which is nothing compared to health care workers and essential services like grocery stores and pharmacies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But soon our spring will come and it will be beautiful. 🌷

Today I’m going to be taking over the @momshamilton Instagram to share social distancing activities and food waste tips. I’ll also be sharing a few things about recycling because before this sh*t storm started, this month was going to be all about recycling because today is World Recycling Day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know many of you are starting to feel isolated - same here. But let’s connect virtually, supporting each other in any way possible. We are so lucky to have these tools at our fingertips making connecting easier. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are looking for a full list and links to my social distancing activities for kids, you can grab it at the link in my bio. Just click “social distancing activities”. Looking forward to chatting with you today on the @momshamilton account! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Let’s talk about St. Paddy’s Day. I like beer

Let’s talk about St. Paddy’s Day. I like beer as much as the next person but I’m really hoping that people stay home this St. Paddy’s day. Thankfully Ford has closed all restaurants and bars but that doesn’t mean house parties are banned. Please stay home. Let’s practice social distancing and cheers virtually tonight. 🍻 Who wants to be part of our virtual cheers? Comment below and let’s stay connected! It will happen in stories tonight at 830! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope this ridiculous photo brings you some joy today. But in all seriousness, we won’t see the results of social distancing until we’ve been at it for at least a week, more likely 10 days because all the cases coming in today were infected more than a week ago - when we were going about our days like normal. So keep it up - we are all in this today 💪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

☀️ Hello there! I haven’t posted in my feed

☀️ Hello there! I haven’t posted in my feed in a few days - how are you doing with all this? It’s overwhelming and anxiety provoking and for a while I couldn’t look away from the news. But that does not do me any good. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So while I’m going to limit WHAT I consume, I’m also going to stay super connected during this time. Normally my schedule is full - deliveries, working lunches, errands. Not this week though. My calendar is empty. So I want to know how I can help. I’m putting together a list of low-waste activities and art supplies/ideas for kids but would love to hear what else you’d like me to cover for low waste topics during social distancing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This photo was taken in my office and the sunny yellow wall makes me feel happy. So here it is - I hope it makes you feel happy too! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When I first planned to post this is was to talk a

When I first planned to post this is was to talk about our #climatecrisis but it seems overly fitting for the other crisis our world is going through right now. There is a lot of fear and anxiety surrounding the Coronavirus right now but the world needs us to do everything we can to help - what does that mean? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - don’t hoard items. Everyone needs disinfectant, toilet paper, food and medication. - stay home if you feel unwell. Even a little unwell. - offer to pickup groceries for your elderly neighbour, parents or immune compromised friends. - cancel your travel plans. While you and your family might not be at high risk, you traveling and being in close contact with others is a great way to spread the virus. We need to do what we can to protect those in the high-risk category. - don’t spread misinformation. Make sure you are getting your news from accurate sources and don’t spread fear that the media is pushing ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- practice social distancing - stay away from really large gatherings and keep your distance when socializing

If we all do our part we can slow the curve which means having a longer but slower outbreak time. This will allow the medical system to better keep up with what’s going on and treat everyone. We don’t want them to have to choose who to treat. While some of what we have to do is disappointing and means cancelling things it’s the right move for our whole society. Take care everyone and remain calm. 💕💕

Have you ever thought of hosting a shared birthday

Have you ever thought of hosting a shared birthday? Maybe your child’s good friend in school has a birthday around the same time or they have a cousin who is also turning one in the same month.
Sharing a birthday party is a great way to cut costs and share resources like decor, games and a rental space.
Have you ever tried this? How did it go?

Last week Bulk Barn, Starbucks and Time Hortons to

Last week Bulk Barn, Starbucks and Time Hortons told us that reusables would not be allowed until further notice due to COVID-19. While I totally think our health is incredibly important, I’m not sure these measures will really do much. There are tons of other things we touch in those stores. But I digress - that’s not what this post is about. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While we can’t use our reusables, I wanted to share some of my favourite low waste cleaning solutions this week. Tomorrow’s newsletter will have 5 of my favourite, easy swaps. But today I’ll share a recipe for your own disinfectant - something we should all be doing a little more of right now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mix 2 parts rubbing alcohol with 1 part water in a spray bottle and add 25 drops of tea tree oil. Rubbing alcohol kills viruses and tea tree oil is antibacterial and antiviral. When cleaning, let the spray sit on your surface for a minute before wiping. This is how it will kill the germs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Comment below if you want to get the other swaps. You’ll get 5 swaps tomorrow for various cleaning products (not all DIY)

These women. They are some of my best friends. They are daughters, visionaries, queens, bosses and some are even mothers. They are strong and brave and I’m so proud I get to learn from them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy International Women’s Day! Here’s to lifting each other up, finding your own village of support and embracing our differences and the power in them. 💕💕💕
