How to Make a Takeaway Beach

A trip to the beach can be the highlight of one’s summer. Children are especially captivated by the sand, water and beautiful scenery. When it’s time to go home, they may not want to leave. And for that matter, you might wish you could stay, too!

Moving to the beach might not be an option. But you can take a little piece of the beach with you when you go home. Collecting seashells, driftwood and other beach findings is a fun way to commemorate your vacation. And when you get home, these items can be used to make your very own beach… inside of a jar. Here’s how to make this simple yet meaningful craft project.

What a Week its been

Well so far the week has been crazy, as I have shared before I am Bi-Polar and have been having issues with the depression side of it. Well the Dr adjusted my meds last week which has messed up my sleep pattern for the last week, I have had no energy so its made it hard to do much with the kids.

They have been troopers being such great helpers around the house and letting me nap. I make time to do little projects with them then a little snooze here and there. Having to do the daily stuff has been taking more energy then normal I hope this adjustment hurries up soon.

Be Aware of Toxic Chemicals in Art Supplies

Art is a wonderful thing for children. It helps them develop creativity, cognitive skills and motor skills. It is also great for self-esteem. While these benefits are undeniable, art also poses some risks to children. That’s because many art supplies contain toxic chemicals.

It’s fairly well known that kids should not be exposed to certain types of paint. The chemical fumes are quite obvious, and the containers are clearly labeled with warnings about breathing those fumes and ingesting the product. But many parents are unaware that not every product that contains toxic ingredients is clearly identified. There are certain labeling standards that must be adhered to by law, but the label doesn’t always tell the whole story.

Giving Your Teen Time and Attention

As a mom of 4 two teens and 2 younger ones, its hard to find time for each of them. No matter how hard one tries the days fly by and things get in the way. Its hard to make sure you fit everything in.
No one likes to feel like they don’t matter or that they’re not wanted. Sometimes, however, teens feel that way even if their family isn’t aware of those feelings. That’s why it’s important to give your teen time and attention. You want them to feel like they are important, not only to you, but also the family as a whole.

Tips to Stop Toddlers from Whining

It’s a common question that mothers of toddlers ask: “How do I stop my toddler from whining?” To be able to answer this question, however, knowing why your toddler whines is important. After you understand why your toddler whines, you can begin to work with them to stop this habit.

The biggest reason toddlers whine is because they often can’t communicate well using words. They whine to get your attention and to communicate that they want something. They may be frustrated or they may be tired. Unfortunately they soon realize that whining produces results, so they begin to use it to get their way even past the age of toddlerhood.
