Climate anxiety is at an all time high among young people. As parents, it is our responsibility to model positive coping mechanisms and empower our kiddos to develop positive coping skills of their own.

It's Second Hand September!
& while second hand shopping is something we've mastered over the years, I remember the stress it caused in the beginning.
Long hot days in our local thrift store with kids is less than ideal, unless you know exactly what you're looking for and how to fight off the second shopping fatigue!
Swipe right to check out our top 5 tips for shopping second hand and share with a friend who could use them!

There is nothing my kids like more than an outdoor picnic.
Not to mention that packing a picnic is way cheaper than eating out at a restaurant for a family of 5.
A traditional picnic creates lots of waste but all of that can be easily eliminated with these 4 tips.

Let’s face it — food is expensive. I know that as much as anyone because I feed a family of five, 5 meals a day (breakfast, snack, lunch, another snack and dinner) 7 days a week. Add organic food to that equation, and many people just can’t afford to buy everything organic even if they want to.
But if, like me, you are trying to feed your family healthy food with as little harm to our planet at the same time, knowing which foods are the most contaminated and/or cause the most harm to the environment goes a long way.
When it comes to choosing vegetables and fruits, there are many dirty dozen lists like this one to help you choose the least contaminated foods and know which ones to buy organic.
But believe it or not, there are other foods that are just as important to buy organic as some of the dirtiest fruits & veggies so we wanted to share this list so you can make the best choices for your family!
