Bug Catchers from WhiMSy Love

The girls and I whipped up these cute little bug catcher necklaces today after school. You can check out the tutorial by WhiMSy love to make one of your own too! CJ came home with a clover clutched tight in her hands and kept asking me to hold it for her. So we found a quick and easy solution to hold on to the tiny little treasures that she would find outside. We didn't have any of the little plastic cases from the candy machines but used the clear snap lid containers from Dollarama. They come in two sizes ~ the larger size for CJ (6 in a pkg) and the smaller ones for CD (8 in a pkg). We'll post pictures of ours after we spend the day outside tomorrow. I worry about all the lady bugs that CD will try to capture and stuff inside... maybe she can be pursuaded to find pebbles!!

Let's all do our part!!

Happy Earth Day!!


My darling 5 year old decided that it would be a good idea

to help our Mother Earth by picking up litter.

She got together some friends at recess time to start and

told them "if you don't know what it is, don't pick it up!"

This evening we went back

to her school armed with some good

garbage pickin' tools that Moto-Moto made for her.

I am so proud of her for thinking of this idea on

her own and being so respectful & responsible

to the environment.

She was a little disgusted...

but only because "people would be so rude not to use the garbage cans."

She thinks that perhaps if there were more places in the playground

for kids to put their garbage it would help.

She is such a good girl! When she saw the previews for

Disney'sEARTH movie she got thinking ... then got really MAD about the world

changing and animal's habitats being destroyed.

What a wonderfully caring little girl we have!

We are so lucky!!

We also had a little fun and made some

EARTH Day Cookies.
