My apologies for not getting the winners of the Kids Health Notes give-away for Natural Mat bed linens last week. I was away on vacation and… well, you know how crazy life gets AFTER you come back from a break.
But thanks to everyone who joined the give-away and waited for the results. So by […]
It’s a pocket-size garden by comparison, but this garden tucked in Manhattan’s lower East Side will bring delight and instruction to children.
I’m talking about the newly opened Toyota Children’s Learning Garden, a pocket park at 603 East 11th Street, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

HAPPY EARTH DAY, EVERYONE!
The sun is shining where I am, and my tulips are in full bloom. How I wish the earth will be as beautiful as it is today. Here’s to a whole year of a cleaner Earth!

One idea that pops to mind that also relates with Tip #1 is to make […]
- Have them build their own recycling bins and have them put little pictures (decorate it) on the bins so they feel a part of the recyling process. (From The Life of a Home Mom)

I’m giving away a funny and inspiring picture book that your children will love.
It’s called Michael Recycle, a book about a green-caped crusader with a colander hat who swoops into a town and inspires the people to recycle and save the environment.
How can you win this? Easy, just answer the question -
“WHAT CAN […]
Spring is the perfect season to remind us how precious the earth is.
The weather is just cool enough and rain comes to refresh the earth. The sky is bluer. Birds sing all day long and the squirrels are hard at work. The trees are budding with new life, and it won’t be long before the […]
