Earth Day

     Hi everyone, it's Earth Day.  What can we do to make the Earth that we live in just a little bit better.  Maybe plant a tree or conserve water by getting some drought tolerant flowers and plants.  I know its hard to keep up our landscaping but we can still keep it beautiful with cactus and other succulents.  This is important now more than ever. This water drought does not look like it is going away any time soon.
     How about recycling or repurposing something old and bringing it back to life again.  How about reusing some stuff that you might have otherwise thrown away and have lots of fun with the kiddos making crafts in the process.  Who are we kidding,  I never can throw anything away.  I have a mountain load of those cardboard paper towel rolls in a bin and love to save my old spagetthi jars. I also love cardboard.  Having a house full of kiddos, it makes sense for me to be able to help them bring out their imaginations. Having stuff that we can paint, glitter and craft with and save some money at the same time is awesome.
     Today we will be repurposing some old pieces of wood that was taken from our old play fort and instead of throwing the old pieces away we will be turning them into some signs and plaques.  So today is a beautiful cool sunny day, perfect for an outdoor project.  The kids could also help.  Painting can be a lot of fun for the little ones. As long as they are supervised.  Otherwise, you may be looking at something being painted that shouldn't have, like the dog. :):)





I hope you all had a super sparkly and fun Earth Day!!
