Since we live in Florida a huge part of our free time to spent either playing in the sand at our local beach or splashing in the ocean or swimming pool. And what makes pool and beach time more fun? Sand and water toys, of course. Many of the sand and water toys that you will find at the store are made using flimsy (un-eco) plastic that easily cracks and breaks or they get lost or left at the pool – never to been seen again, and probably piling up in a landfill somewhere. So my son and I made a set of sand and water toys and everything we needed was in our recycling bin. The best part: If these toys get left behind at the pool or break – they can be tossed back into the recycling bin. Learn how to whip up a set of recycled sand and water toys for your kiddos.

For some kids, an early morning trip to the farmer’s market might not be the ideal way to spend a Saturday, especially when bikes, baseball, or the park are the alternatives. However, spending a day together as family, enjoying the great outdoors, supporting your local community and purchasing fresh, whole foods and other goodies is always better than staying at home. You can get your children just as excited about a trip to the farmer’s market as a trip the park by following my favorite seven ways to get kids involved.
Karna of Cocoon Designs created a collection of quirky, colorful dolls and creatures in her Etsy shop. Wow! They are fantastic. Made from eco-friendly, recycled and upcycled fibers and fabrics. They look so unique, fun and absolutely lovable!
I think finding wonderful handmade toys that your child can love for years and that can be passed down through the generations is lovely. I love the eyes and expressions on her sweet little creatures!

Did you know that peat moss is a non-renewable resource? Did you know that it takes a peat moss bog thousands of years to evolve? How about the fact that once a peat moss bog is harvested, it’s gone forever? Peat moss is very important to the health of the bogs’ ecosystem and water filtration, while being the home to many different species of wildlife and flora. Most importantly, peat moss is the single largest terrestrial store of carbon, equivalent to 75% of all the carbon in the atmosphere. The consumption of peat moss for horticultural use is not necessary. When you are picking up your gardening supplies, steer clear of the peat.
