Have a Lovely Green Weekend + A Few Green Things

July 29, 2011 0

Hello, Everyone! We are heading to Coconut Grove this weekend for a family pool party. Eben’s response: “Great! I can swim with the Koi.” The funniest part – we are meeting before for a game of bowling. Grandpa Sweet Greens and Eben’s Uncle Louis meet every week to bowl together and Eben loves to bowl, so they have decided to invite him for a game or two. How fun is that? What sort of summer adventure do you have planned for the weekend?

While I pack my swimsuit and get geared up for bowling, here are a few green things that I thought you would enjoy:

– I am a sucker for super-organization: kids edition!
– Who knew a Porcupine could be so cute?
– People Towels is having a sale right in time for back to school!
– I am a little obsessed with this recycled outdoor furniture.
– This poster really says it all! Do you agree?

I hope you have an amazing weekend, stay tuned next week for some great back to school giveaways!

xo,
Sweet Greens

6 Ways to Make Fruit Even More Fun for Kids

July 28, 2011 0

Your child probably enjoys some kinds of fruit – however, many kids often get stuck in a “favorite fruit only” rut requesting apples, bananas, or strawberries for example and turning their noses up at the unknown. But a walk through your local farmers market will prove that summertime offers up a wide variety of colorful, different, and even exotic kinds of fruits, making the season the perfect time to experiment and add more of them to your child’s diet. A great way to introduce new fruits is by presenting them to your child in a fun and exciting way. If your child isn’t a huge fan of certain types of fruits, finding ways to sneak them in is essential for assuring that your child is getting the vitamins and nutrients necessary for optimum health. Here are my six favorite way to make fruit even more fun this summer.

Soaking Up Summer

July 26, 2011 0

We have a back-to-school meeting with Eben’s fifth grade teacher this morning. Can it be that summer break is almost over? Please, don’t tell Eben, goodness, don’t even mention it to me! It’s true, the kids will be back in school in just a few short weeks or sooner. Eben and I have been spending most of our summer snorkeling, camping, taking nature walks, swimming in the pool, and just soaking up the fun and sun. 

Thankfully, we live in South Florida so there is no need to cringe at the thought of snow boots, winter coats and cold, blistery days to come. Now, if only we can get through hurricane season without incident! However, the thought of Eben going back to school is bitter-sweet. We love his school – however, it’s so hard to send him off again, when we have been having so much fun!

How about you lovely readers, are you ready for school to start?
Or, does it make you feel a little sad?
Are you ready to get back into the school swing of things?
Have you started your school shopping?
