Sweet Greens

Hello, Friends! Last week, Eben was home for spring break – we spent the entire week snorkeling, paddleboarding, soaking up sunshine by the pool and finished the week off with our first sailing trip aboard Bambolina, our sailboat. We had a fantastic time! I have been playing catch up all week to get back in the swing of things. Did you have a good spring break? Or do you have upcoming plans for your spring break?

This week, I am finishing up a couple of fun spring do-it-yourself projects for the kiddos over at Inhabitots. And I have some fun giveaways coming up – stay tuned!

Hello, Friends! How was your week? Are you ready for the weekend? Eben’s spring break vacation starts now – and I am so excited to have him all to myself for nine whole days! Hooray for spring break!

On Sunday, we will be celebrating Mr. Sweet Greens’ grandfather’s 97th birthday. Yes, you heard me correct – 97! Can you imagine? He has always loved to play cards, so we are surprising him with a poker party at the clubhouse in his neighborhood. Fantastic.

While I gather up the supplies to bake him a fabulous organic chocolate cake, here are a few green things to keep you busy:

– Finally! Swiss Parliament bans imports of live dolphins!
– I agree that you can have happy pets without having a yard. We do!
– The world’s largest wildlife conservation area is established in Africa.
– You don’t need to add green food coloring for a fun St. Patrick’s treat – give avocado a try instead.
– I have told the mister a hundred times that I want a mirco pig. Do you?
– Did you know that squid have giant eyes?
– Do you love frogs the way I do? 

I hope your weekend is full of fun in the sun – I will see you back here on Monday.

xo,
Sweet Greens

Do your kids love getting their hands dirty? You won’t cringe if they’re creating something colorful and fun with finger paints. But forgo expensive store bought finger paint that are typically filled with toxins and synthetic colorants – after all, your kids could easily put those paint-covered fingers in their mouths. Instead, make your own eco finger paint using non-toxic, safe, organic ingredients – the DIY art supply will be better for the environment and won’t harm your child if he decides to taste it. Discovery how to make easy DIY finger paint for your budding artist today.

P.S. Make sure to check out the photo of my Eben fingerpainting when he was 3 – it’s amazing how quickly times flies by! 

Do you make your own fingerpaints?
