Easy Ways for Kids to Start a Summer Garden

Summer is a great time to start a garden with children. With some free time before school starts, children can get a good harvest going before the fall and winter seasons. While temperatures are conflicting around the world, you can still find the right type of plants to grow in the summer and be ready for a hearty harvest in a couple of months.

My love for gardening and nature developed at a very young age. I thank both my parents for that because now I teach gardening to children at an elementary school and hope to instill in them a love of nature too. Whether you’re a beginner or an avid gardener, getting kids started at a young age gives them a chance to learn and grow at their own pace. Nature has no judgement and will in fact, bring you an abundance of joy and satisfaction for many, many years.

To get kids started in gardening, you must know the basics. The fundamentals of gardening helps develop good habits that leads to better understanding and less frustration. If you and your children already have a garden full of lovely plants, then that’s awesome. If not, or you’re just starting out, check out some easy tips to get you started on a lifetime of healthy living.

10 BASIC GARDENING TIPS:

1 – Decide on your garden space. Do you want a small patch of land in your yard? Do you want only planters?Or do you want a mixture of ground and raised? Once you decide on the type of garden you want, you can start planning!

2 – Decide on how much you want to invest in your garden. If you’re just starting out, it’s easier to start on a small budget. Any range between $50-$100 is a good starting point.

3 – Have your kids research on the type of plants they want to grow. Depending on their age, they can start with very basic and easy to take care of plants. I will list the type of plants below.

4 – Visit a garden center or big box stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s that has a garden center. Take some time to walk around and learn about the various types of plants. Touch the plants and smell them to see what you like.

5 – While at the garden center, pick up some easy to grow plants: mint (any type), tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, radish, sweet snap peas, bell peppers, daisies, sunflowers, and hibiscus (seasonal).

6 – Have your kids pick out basic garden tools: small hand shovel/spade, small hand rake, gloves, bucket, watering can, and gardening soil. Many gardening tools are made for children but I recommend getting them medium sized tools so they can eventually grow into them.

7 – Find the right spot in the garden. Most plants can take full sun up to 6 hours, depending on where you live. For easy to grow plants such as the ones mentioned above, try to grow them where there’s sun for most part of the day. If you plant in planters, they are easy to move around according to the position of the sun.

8 – Don’t over or under water your plants. How do you know if you’re over watering or under watering? Check the top soil. Place 2 fingers into the soil of where you plant is. If it’s moist, then you don’t need to water the plants yet. If it’s dry or not moist, then water them immediately. Over watering plants can kill them or cause plant diseases. Under watering plants can make it difficult for them to flourish again.

9 – Buy high quality planting soil. Once you’ve decided if you’re planting directly in ground or in planters, make sure you buy higher quality soil to give your new plants a chance to grow and flourish.

10 – Tag and monitor your plants. If you’re growing from seeds, it’s very simple to watch your seeds grow from seedlings to full plants. If planting seedlings that you got from the store, place markers in the soil with the name of the plant and the date it was planted.

A few other things to note as your child starts his/her journey into becoming a gardener. Besides doing the basics of gardening, invest in composting and upcycling. Being a gardener or just having a love for gardening is also being a steward of the planet. We garden because we appreciate nature and the love of living a healthy lifestyle. Gardening is therapeutic and resourceful. You can plant a bounty of delicious and healthy food to last you for many years or you can grow a garden just for show. All it takes are some simple steps to begin your garden and your kids will grow into a love for nature and making healthy choices.

Bob’s Red Mill – Products Worth Reviewing and Giveaway

 

When you’re seriously looking to eat better and live a healthier life, you must remember 3 important things: eat natural foods, exercise often, and reduce your stress. Sometimes it’s hard to find the balance between the 3 facts, but eating healthy is extremely important in maintaining and achieving a healthy lifestyle. One company who strives to bring you healthier food choices is a company called Bob’s Red Mill. At Bob’s Red Mill, they make a wonderful assortment of food products for people who strive to eat better and live healthier. In our home, we have countless products from Bob’s Red Mill ranging from their pancake mix to their cereal blends. Bob’s Red Mill makes wholesome, natural, and delicious food for everyone.

You may have seen and heard about Bob’s Red Mill. They’ve been around for over 30 years making natural products that are good for you and good for the planet. Bob’s Red Mill started humbly in a small town in Oregon by Bob Moore and his wife after his pursuit to find original stone-grinding flour mills. When by chance he came upon an old mill for sale one day, he took the opportunity to start his own business of stone-ground flours and cereals for his friends, family, and customers. From then on, Bob’s Red Mill products slowly but steadily became a popular trend in the health-conscious industry. Bob’s Red Mill started as a family-owned company but recently became an employee-owned company because of Bob’s dedication to his employees and his company. In fact, as the company stated, you might even meet Bob himself if you ever decide to visit his store and visitor center in Oregon.

Bob’s Red Mill truly has a great assortment of products to choose from for your everyday cooking needs. They make products ranging from 10 grain whole grain hot cereals to flaxseeds to dried fruit. In fact, you can probably make an entire meal out of Bob’s Red Mill products and be extremely happy and satisfied knowing that you made something healthy and wholesome for your family. I’ve used their whole wheat flour and oat flour to make cookies and on most mornings we like to eat their 10 Grain Hot Cereal. The 10 Grain Hot cereal is super delicious as it contains stone ground high protein hard red wheat, rye, triticale, oat bran, oats, corn, barley, soy beans, brown rice, millet, and flaxseed. Talk about a nutritional powerhouse! We love the 10 Grain Hot Cereal with a little bit of milk or soymilk and some organic brown sugar or honey – yummy! Bob’s Red Mill has so many great products to choose from, you’re bound to find something that you’ll like and stock up on.

Bob’s Red Mill’s philosophy in providing healthy, wholesome, and natural foods extends beyond other normal food companies. They do all the milling, testing, packaging, and distributing in house and they source their ingredients from responsible farmers and farms who abide by the organic standards and laws. Bob’s Red Mill believes in close relationships with their farmers to ensure quality control and they inspect every ingredient that comes into their facility. And Bob’s Red Mill’s belief that whole grains are better for you and for the planet is evident in the quality of their products. They don’t add any unnecessary ingredients like preservatives, artificial colors and flavors, or sulfites. Their products are pure and simple and you can use them in virtually any baking or cooking recipe you have. In fact, on their website, they even offer recipes using their own products: http://www.bobsredmill.com/recipes.php and they encourage you to submit your own recipes as well.

Bob’s Red Mill makes organic, natural, and even gluten-free products so there really is something for everyone.  They care about their products, their customers, and the environment and you’ll even find biodegradable packing peanuts in their packaging. Their see-through bags are easy for customers to see what they’re purchasing and the friendly, familiar face of Bob himself is on every package. Simply put – Bob’s Red Mill products are healthy, wholesome, and can fill almost every cooking need you may have. Bob’s Red Mill was also interested in my review of a few of their products and to give away to 3 LUCKY readers of Happymomblogger! The products they sent me were the Date Pieces, Pecan Halves, and Raw Pumpkin Seeds. Imagine the things you can cook and bake with those! Bob’s Red Mill’s Date Pieces are little bite-sized pieces of real dates and coated with oat flour. They’re great by itself or mixed into your cereal or even in your trail mixes. The Pecan Halves are plump, dark brown pecans that has a nice crunchy bite in them. I like to bake them with some organic brown sugar and organic butter and they become incredibly tasty snacks! And the Raw Pumpkin Seeds are great for baking, stirred into soups, or eaten as a snack; just make sure to toast them first since they come raw.

Kashi TLC Granola Bar – Products Worth Reviewing

Granola Bars are like socks. Socks keep your feet warm and from harm as so do granola bars. Why? Because properly nutritioned granola bars keep your body from harm – when you eat a healthy granola bar, it feeds your body and your mind.

Kashi makes an assortment of delicious and healthy granola bars that are appropriate for kids and adults. As a leading brand of natural and organic food products, it’s easy to see why Kashi has really made a great name of themselves in the food industry. You probably even have a few of Kashi’s products in your pantry right now. They make everything from granola bars to cereal to pasta and in our home, we’ve enjoyed many of their products on a regular basis. We always have one of their organic cereals in our pantry or my son and I will have one of their frozen meals for lunch. And Kashi has introduced some new products to their fans recently. One of them is their new TLC Granola Bar in Peanutty Dark Chocolate – and it sure is chocolatey!

As a member of Moms Meet, I was given the opportunity to try and review the Kashi TLC Granola Bar in Peanutty Dark Chocolate.  They kindly offered me samples of Kashi’s new TLC Granola Bar in Peanutty Dark Chocolate to try and I absolutely loved them! We had a party with my son and his cousins and it passed the kids test for sure. As one of his cousins said, “Mmm, this doesn’t taste yucky!”. I’m assuming he meant that he’s had some yucky-tasting granola bars before. The result was, that the kids wanted more and their parents were happy to read the ingredients didn’t contain any refined sugars, artificial flavors or colors, or preservatives. And the best part yet- you can really taste and see the layers. That’s why it’s called “Peanutty Dark Chocolate Layered Granola Bars”, because you can taste the layers of rolled oats and grains, smooth chocolate, and crunchy roasted peanuts. It’s a perfect blend for those who enjoy both chocolate and peanut. It’s not overly sweet and it’s slightly chewy and crunchy at the same time.

Kashi’s Peanutty Dark Chocolate Layered Granola Bars contain 7 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein in each serving so it does pretty well in satisfying the hunger area. I usually eat one for breakfast with my hot tea and it’s quite filling. Then I again I don’t eat a heavy breakfast, so it’s really up to you on how many bars you think will satisfy you. With all of the grains and Kashi’s signature 7 Whole Grains and Sesame included, their Dark Chocolate Layered Granola Bar really packs a punch.

Kashi has been making wholesome, natural, and organic food for over 25 years. Their food caters to people of all ages and genders and even the picky eaters too! Kashi currently makes ready-to-eat cereal in both organic and non-organic versions, hot cereal, snack bars, crackers (we love their crackers!), frozen entrees, frozen pizzas, cookies, pilaf, and waffles. Their food can be enjoyed at home, at the office, or even at parties. For more info about Kashi and their products, please visit their website: http://www.kashi.com/.

Tom’s of Maine – Products worth Reviewing and Giveaway

 

It’s often a misconception that all-natural products do not clean as well as those with made with conventional ingredients. They are both equally effective in cleaning, but the only difference is that natural products do not potentially cause harm for humans and for the environment and it helps maintain the integrity of your products. Nature has always provided the best of everything to us and sometimes we take it for granted. So when I find a company that can harness the incredible cleaning powers that come from nature, I embrace the company and tell everyone about it. And Tom’s of Maine is top of my list in personal care products.

For over 40 years, Tom’s of Maine has done exactly that – learning nature’s amazing powers and benefits and putting it to use in their personal care products. Tom’s of Maine makes natural personal care products which includes toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, dental floss, and soap. All of their ingredients are sourced responsibly from nature and do not contain anything that is toxic and potentially harmful. I’ve tried most of their products but I really love their new soaps (or beauty bars) because they smell wonderful and they last a really long time – which is a difficult feature in most soaps. And their new soaps come in 6 different refreshing scents/varieties – Exfoliating which contains natural apricot seeds to gently remove old, dull skin; Daily Moisture which contains olive oil for natural premium moisturization; Deodorant which contains natural sage and lemongrass which has built-in odor-fighting properties; Sensitive which contains chamomile for gentle cleansing; Relaxing which contains calming lavender for an instant soothing sensation; and Energizing which contains citrus oils for a natural pick-me-up. I like their toothpaste just as much because they don’t contain any unnecessary sugars like in other conventional toothpastes. And they make my entire mouth feel incredibly refreshing and clean. Yes, I know that sounds like a commercial, but it’s true – Tom’s of Maine’s toothpaste gives you that natural clean and refreshing feeling afterward, without any sweet aftertaste. And they also make a great children’s toothpaste in “Silly Strawberry” without flouride which my son actually enjoys using since strawberry is one of his favorite fruit.

Tom’s of Maine has been in the personal care business for a long time and they take great pride in ensuring that their products are made with ingredients that are natural and beneficial. Their unwavering dedication to provide their consumers with natural and healthy products is what makes them a leading company in personal care products. You can find most of their products in any natural grocery store, supermarkets, and major mass retailers such as Target, Rite Aid, and CVS. Whenever their products goes on sale, I usually stock up a bit because my family and I go through them like crazy! I enjoy using their products because they’re made with natural ingredients, and well, they’re quite effective!

Tom’s of Maine is truly dedicated in producing high-quality all-natural products and it shows in the choosing of their ingredients as well as their packaging. They use packaging made of post-consumer recycled paper board and use vegetable-based inks on all their packaging and printed materials. They are also the first in their industry to use recyclable plastic on their deodorant sticks. Here is more info on their environmental practices: http://www.tomsofmaine.com/business-practices. With the use of recyclable and sustainable materials, they are able to save millions of solid waste and wastewater, billions of electricity, and enormous amounts of pollution are reduced. That’s incredible considering the vast personal care industry and all that is used up by consumers and manufacturers. One personal thing that I did notice was their transition from aluminum toothpaste tubes to plastic laminate tubes which they indicate the reason as part consumer feedback, part environmental impact. They even encourage their consumers to send their toothpaste in the new plastic laminate materials back to the company for recycling and “incorporating the plastic into their recyling stream” as part of the “Gimme 5” campaign which allows recycling of PETE #5 plastics. I think that’s a great idea as most companies do not even offer that option but hopefully everyone will soon.

So besides their practice in using sustainable ingredients in their products and packaging, what else makes Tom’s of Maine a responsible company? They also promise never to test their products on animals. Personally, I believe that if you have years of experience in the natural products department and you use high-quality ingredients derived from nature, testing products on humans is more effective anyway. So really, choosing Tom’s of Maine products as part of your daily personal care regimen is an authentic way to add some natural-based products into your home. Their prices are also decent and their products are easy to find. And with a great selection to choose from, I’m sure you’ll find something you would like.

Although I’ve been using Tom’s of Maine for many years, they generously sent me their entire Beauty Bars line and their latest Wicked Fresh! toothpaste to try. They are also offering 1 LUCKY reader of Happymomblogger a chance to win their 6 Beauty Bars and 1 large-sized Wicked Fresh! Toothpaste as a prize. If you’ve never tried their Wicked Fresh! toothpaste then you’re in for a real treat. Tom’s of Maine’s Wicked Fresh! toothpaste is so refreshing and so invigorating that you feel as if you’re chewing on mint while you’re brushing your teeth. Yes – it’s that strong of a minty taste and sensation! So how do you win these great products from Tom’s of Maine? Read below to find out!
