We stumbled upon this gem of a book at the library, and I’ve been impressed with its beautiful illustrations, old and new US history, folktales, poems and songs. For ages 7 and up.

Hoping to inspire my kids to even healthier eating, I had an inner nudge to download Season 1 of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution last week. Mission accomplished!

They’ve been asking to cook, whipping up new recipes, and even turning down sugar! I’d recommend it for ages 10 and up – there is some language here and there.

We started this World War II novel earlier this week. It’s the true story of a group of Norwegian children who smuggle their city’s gold reserves out of the hands of the Nazis, right under their noses! For ages 9 and up.

If you have arts & crafts lovin’ kids, take a peek at the collection of eco-art kits from Artterro​.

The kids and I have enjoyed the needle felting kit, and they also make ones for jewelry, bookmaking, dolls, journals, & even bubble wands. Perfect for springtime birthdays or holidays!
