Eco-Kids Tuesday!

You know last week I said Bunny was sick with a stomach virus?  Wellll that virus made its way through her, and then Squirrely, and then me, where it stayed for several days.  Seems that viruses love to make themselves at home in my body and stay long past their normal time.  Eight pounds gone, limited milk production, unbelievably weak, and I am just now starting to regain my strength.  I have struggled more this winter and spring (the same time I have been eating a better than ever diet of whole foods..) than ever before.   It is also my 1st winter/spring of having two little ones, tandem nursing them, along with working 25 hours a week, and almost single parenting due to The Hub's new job.  Whatever the cause, I feel like I am struggling more this year with not only catching every virus that comes along, but recovering from them as well.  Any suggestions?

So while I was sick, my mama made these salt dough and lavender fingerprint hearts

for the playschool mamas (and me).

She was inspired by Mama Rosemary's Salt Dough Hearts!
We used lavender flowers, rather than roses, ad a few drops on laveder essential oil in the water!

We are having a great time and learning so much through Eco-Kids Tuesday! 
Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with us weekly!  Each week I struggle to choose the feature because honestly ALL of the links deserve recognition!  But choose, I must, so here are my features for this week:

Seedlings Nursery School shared some wonderful thoughts on Finding Balance in the Real World.
Do yourself a favor and take a few moments to read it!

Kid Care with Essential Oils is a must read!  We use doTERRA oils ourselves and love them!

My mama can sell them so if you are ever interested, let us know, and she will give you her "co-op" prices!

A Life Unprocessed shared a recipe for Perfect Coconut Milk Vanilla Ice Ceam!

 

Placenta Encapsulation is a favorite topic of mine! 

Green Ideas Review did a review on How? Why? and Does it work? 

My favorite quote of the post is:

"You can’t tell ANYONE!!  Seriously.  People will judge you, and never forget you’re that crazy lady who ate her placenta.  (Before this post, no one in my entire family knew about me doing this…)"

For my last feature, all I can say is yum!  Tessa, The Domestic Diva shared her

wholegrain, gluten and sugar free, vegan, yummy looking chocolate chip cookie recipe!
