Happy Earth Day mamas! Every year Tatum and I do something to learn more about the earth and ways to keep it clean not only on Earth Day, but every day of the year. In our home we try and make each day a lesson in taking care of our planet and making as little waste as possible (if you looked in my craft cupboard you’d see TONS of leftover toilet paper rolls, paper plates, and other assorted stuff I couldn’t bring myself to toss). At a young age, you can get your children excited and aware of keeping our earth and ourselves happy and healthy!
Check in your area for Earth Day celebrations, such as cleaning up the city, kids activities, story groups, and more. I’ve also listed some links below that include fun ways to bring more awareness to Earth Day and live a cleaner, healthier life. It’s never too early to get your children involved! Happy Earth day, everyone, and share with us what you did to celebrate!

This is great! We went to Longwood Garden’s (local to us) Earth Day celebration, had fun and learned a bunch
I think this is my new favorite holiday with kids??
That sounds fun! I love getting kids involved in gardening — it seems to help them become so much more aware of how to take care of the earth AND get excited about eating healthy food! There’s so much you can do with kids on earth day. Glad you had fun!
