How to Get Your Kids in the Kitchen
If you’re following a strict diet for health reasons, have picky eaters, or are simply looking for tips on how to get your kids involved in the cooking process, you’re going to want to settle in and read this.
According to Leah Webb, author of The Grain-Free, Sugar-Free, Dairy-Free Cookbook, when children are included in the meal prep and cooking process, they become naturally curious and are more likely to actually eat the foods you are putting in front of them. But, she knows it’s easier said than done, so she’s offered up some tips and tricks to help you get your kids more involved in the kitchen!
How to Walk Like a Fox and See in the Dark
The fun doesn’t have to end when the sun goes down. There is a whole other world to explore when night settles in. In Chris Salisbury’s book Wild Nights Out, he offers guidance, ideas, challenges to try and games to play at dusk and in the dark. For grown-ups, children, and anyone in between, these activities are designed to help you become in tune with your body and the dark like circle walking, or with the surrounding wildlife, like fox-walking.

No Garden? No Problem! Grow Your Own Salad Indoors
Think you need a vast outdoor garden in order to enjoy fresh produce? Think again! It’s entirely possible to grow your own produce indoors, no matter where you live. If you find yourself dreading heading out to the grocery store for that fresh produce, give indoor gardening a try!
Mull it Over: Mulberries, Memories, and Muffins
Who doesn’t love making memories or recounting old ones? Mulberries have a special power of unlocking memories. Did you pick them as a kid? Picking them now will send you right back to your childhood.
If you’ve never picked mulberries before, they very well might be in your own backyard, or your neighbor’s, or your local park. You can pick some this summer, throw them in the freezer, and next winter you can bake a pie that will remind you of the warmer summer days.
