Who’s ready for all the green?? The weather for

Who’s ready for all the green?? The weather for this weekend is looking mighty fine which means my plant babies will be outside hardening off. Hardening off is when you give your seedlings a few hours outdoors each day as you get ready to plant them in the ground. This gets them used to wind and the stronger outdoor sun. It’s an important step to ensure your plants will be successful when you plant them.

It’s still a little early to get the plants in the ground which isn’t great for my tomato plants that are bursting at the seams.

How are your seedlings going?

P.S. don’t forget my bug hotel kits and gardening kits are still on sale at the link in my bio!

Happy Mother’s Day!

This photo is from the last time we took a trip together - which was too long ago. I definitely got my love of the ocean from you mom! I miss spending time with you indoors, hugging around the dinner table as I’m sure many of you feel the same as well.

Photo two is one of my favourites - us cooking thanksgiving dinner together a few years ago. Not sure what we were laughing about but it brings back a huge smile!

Another Mother’s Day in quarantine. Whether you haven’t been able to see your kids enough or have spent too much time with your kids, I hope today can be relaxing and enjoyable in whatever ways we can celebrate.

And to all those who find today hard for a whole number of reasons I’m thinking of you 💕

Grab this freebie to add some fun to at-home birth

Grab this freebie to add some fun to at-home birthdays! It’s a set of printable scavenger hunt clues to do at home. Each clue takes you to a different thing in your home - like where you put on your shoes or the fridge and leads your little to their gift at the end.

Just print them off and hide the clues in the appropriate spots. When they wake up on their birthday they can do the hunt to find a birthday surprise. I’ve done these for my nephews when they were little and they loved it! Go to the link in my bio and click on the first link.

It’s the second year of isolated celebrations and while we can see a light at the end of the tunnel, finding new and fun ways to make celebrations fun are what we are all about!

This week’s recycled craft is a toilet paper butterfly! All you need is a toilet paper roll, card stock and pipe cleaner.

Talk about butterflies and their life cycle while you make this craft. Kids can learn about how butterflies are a pollinator, what native plants like milkweed are important for the butterfly and what you can do in your own garden to help butterflies thrive!

Wrap your toilet paper roll in coloured paper and draw and cut your wings. When decorating the wings, talk about how the patterns on butterfly wings are symmetrical and often are brightly coloured to warn predators that they are distasteful.

Andrew and I have been exploring the outdoors with our little pup Cooper. He came from Mexico so is learning all about the new smells, snow (thanks April), squirrels, wood chips, tree buds and spring flowers.

It’s been fun experiencing spring from new eyes. Seeing the things he notices that we’ve gotten so used to reminds me of how quickly we just stop appreciating so many of the beautiful changes in nature.

He’s also gotten us to go out on walks on the days we’d normally stay in and even in the rainy windy days there’s something beautiful to see. We’ll see if I say the the same thing in winter. 😂

I don’t only love floral trees in spring for their beauty and wonderful scent but also for the way they usher in spring in such a grand way!

With way more neighbourhood walks over the last year I’ve been able to watch the seasons change and find my favourite trees, gardens and paths to walk. Throughout winter I really miss the bright colours of nature and so when I see these trees bloom it’s always such a welcome hello. Definitely my favourite part of spring.

The tent is about 4 feet tall with a 2 foot tall opening. Hide birthday gifts and treats in there to find. Swipe through to see a 35 pound dog in the tent for size.

The clues should work for any one, taking kids to places like the fridge and wherever they keep their socks. Maybe it’s not their birthday but your little one needs a pick me up. That’s ok too! DM me to reserve today!

What’s an insect hotel? It’s a safe hideaway spot for insects to hang out in during inclement weather. It has tons of nooks and crannies for them to find a safe space.

Insects are so important to our gardens - including bees, ladybugs and beetles. We have our bug hotel kits in stock at the link in our bio. They come with a wooden box and bamboo rods to go inside. You and your kiddos collect the rest of the nature supplies to go inside.

It’s a fun activity to do with kids and a great way to talk about the importance of bugs and pollinators!

My lettuce is coming in strong! It’s part of my Learning to Grow Vegetables kit which comes with lettuce, carrots and cherry tomatoes.

I planted mine in a food takeout container to reuse the containers and it will need to be repotted soon to spread them out a bit.

The kit also comes with a seed germination experiment and an insect hotel to create to bring beneficial insects to your garden. It’s a great activity to do at home with the kids and they love the responsibility of taking care of their plants.

Stamp art hyacinth paintings!

Paint and wine corks are all you need for this painting project. Draw a green line for them to follow as the stem and have them stamp around it to create the flowers.

Make other types of flowers too - use different shaped stamps and different colours!

There’s only one planet Earth! Seeing it was Earth Day yesterday I wanted to share the Outta This World decor rentals with you.

It comes with everything you see here including a full size wood easel to hold the sign. It can be used for virtual party backdrop decorations or to make your space obsessed little one’s birthday extra special at home.

Decor rentals are how I help families cut down on disposable decorations - these will get used again and again - keeping things out of landfill. Only need part of the set for what you are doing? That’s fine too!

Earth Day! A day where we further climate action, raise awareness to the important issues and think about how we can make the largest impact for the health of the planet.

Sometimes the real meaning of Earth Day (and eco-friendly living in general) gets overshadowed by companies marketing eco products you HAVE to have in order to be eco-friendly. You start to feel pressure to do zero waste perfectly and have this gorgeous labeled pantry.

Swipe through for a reminder of the traps that big companies try to get us to fall for to have us thinking they and in turn us are being environmentally friendly.

Let me know in the comments if you have ever fallen for one. I certainly have felt the pressure to buy all the things and have fallen for a few greenwashing ploys.

Today’s craft is just in time for Earth Day!

Earth Day wildflower seed balls! To make these you need blue and green construction paper or scrap paper and wildflower seeds.

Rip up your paper and soak it in some water. Blend it up into a pulp and then strain the water out of it. Place some wildflower seeds in amongst the ball you create. Squeeze the water out and lay them out to dry. You’ll have little globes that you can plant and will turn into wild flowers!

I know it’s hard - a second lockdown birthday. But there are still ways to make it special.

Try a virtual party! We play games, enjoy entertainment, laugh and dance! All their friends can attend (plus it gives an hour of entertainment where parents don’t have to make the fun for their kids!)

I have received such great feedback on these parties - you really don’t have to do anything except invite the guests! Click the link in my bio to find out more.

I love reading the reviews from these parties and knowing that I was able to make these kids light up in our very strange circumstances.

Did you know!? I feel like everyone as a kid use

Did you know!?

I feel like everyone as a kid used to feed birds breadcrumbs but did you know this is actually really dangerous to do?

Birds have tiny stomachs and need lots of nutrients and calories to fly, build nests and thrive. Bread offers almost no nutritional value to birds but fills their tiny tummy quickly.

Also when bread gets wet it can get lodged in the bird’s digestive system and stuck.

When it comes to baby birds, malnutrition from the bread can inhibit their growth and development.

Instead try putting up a bird feeder and use good quality bird seed in it and watch the birds flock to your yard. Seeds and nuts are much more nutritious per gram so the birds will be much healthier on that.

Did you know this? I wonder how it came to be that you fed birds bread. Share this post to spread the word!

Low waste gift wrap!

Use your kid’s art! Most kids love painting, drawing and being creative. Instead of just throwing out the mounds of artwork, save it up and use it to wrap a birthday gift.

When starting artwork, use larger paper like the kind you get on a Kraft paper roll or the roll from IKEA so that the size will be more useful for wrapping.

This beautiful artwork was created using watered down paint in a spray bottle for some abstract fun.

What family member wouldn’t love receiving a gift wrapped in art? Have you tried this low waste wrapping idea?

Spring flowers and butterflies!

Today’s recyclable crafts are made using an egg carton and chopstick for the flower and coffee filters and a clothes pin for the butterfly. A little paint and some glue completes the crafts!

The flower would be a cute addition to a potted plant on your windowsill and you can clip the butterfly into anything.

It’s looking like some nice weather for the weekend so get out and enjoy what we can!

I love watching the new growth and changes that spring brings and thus hunt will have your kids noticing those changes too!
