Spread Kindness

Saturday, April 3, 2021 Leave a Comment

I have a deep-seated hankering to spread kindness in small ways. In spreading small kindness my kiddos have definitely caught the bug too, especially my daughter V.

There are some really simple things kids can do to spread kindness – by doing, giving, and sharing.

  • Doing things, like picking up litter or helping a family member with chores.
  • Giving something, like donating supplies to an animal shelter or a local charity.
  • Sharing something, like sending a card or a picture to someone special.

One of V’s favorite things to do is sharing, by brightening someone’s day with sending cards – the ol’ snail mail tactic. I mean, c’mon, who doesn’t love getting mail?! We’re not talking bills, folks, we’re talking pretty cards.

Spread Kindness with Pretty Cards.

Last year during quarantine and unable to visit my mom, V & I were looking for a way to connect with friends and family we couldn’t see in person. We discovered the beautifully illustrated cards that Trader Joe’s sells. Sometimes I swear, I live under a rock – how had I not noticed these before?! Well, of course, we loaded up our basket with these colorful cards and what’s even better than the gorgeous designs is the price tag – just 99¢ each!

  • Stunning illustrated designs
  • Unbelievable price
  • Cards for every occasion
  • A massive selection of blank cards to cater to your occasion

V now sends & gives cards to everyone; her grandparents, her friends, her teachers… and you know what has happened by her doing this?! It started a trickle-down effect. She now consistently gets cards & letters several times a week in return from her friends and grandparents. She spread kindness! A child’s simple & small gesture had a giant effect that trickled over to the recipient(s) to spread kindness too.





In the age of text messages, emojis, and DM’s, sending cards is such an inexpensive, thoughtful and meaningful way to spread kindness and joy.

Have you ever noticed their cards?! They are absolutely gorgeous. I promise this is not a sponsored post – we just love them that much, lol we’ve been known to regularly buy 10-15 at a time. I even lined up a set of three cards in our entryway in 5×7 frames & continuously rotate the designs out. Because ummm quotes + pretty design = my heart all a-flutter.

Some Exciting News.

Speaking of things we did during quarantine… ummm I kinda did a thing. You guys are going to love it!

I’ve been hard at work on a special project recently and I’m finally ready to tell you what it is! I’ve been writing a book and I’m so excited to share more details (including the cover and how to pre-order your copy) with you soon. Be sure to keep an eye out for my official announcement this coming Tuesday!

INSPIRE OTHERS BY SHARING!!

When your friend loves science just as much as you When your friend loves science just as much as you do. 
🔬🧫👩🏼‍🔬👩🏻‍🔬
These two... I couldn’t get them to walk away from our science table.

🐚🌊☀️When we went to the beach last week, V found this spiral thingee (official term 😆) way far back on the sand, near the dunes... it had obviously washed up a long time ago.  She brought it to us & my mom (PHD science professor-lol good to have one of those in your back pocket, huh?!) identified it as a Whelk Egg Casing. 

🔍🧐 🐚After Googling, based on the details of the casing, we determined it is an egg casing from a Knobbed Welk. 

🐚🔍🕵🏼‍♀️Whelk eggs are fertilized internally and laid in capsule packets. Strings of these connected egg capsules are usually one to three feet in length, comprised of up to 160 capsules, and each casing containing 40-100 eggs. These eggs are SUPER TINY - ALREADY FORMED - LITTLE BABY SHELLS (swipe to the last shot)!!! The mother whelk anchors one end of the string onto rocks, shells, or sand on the sea floor for safety. Apparently, only about one percent will hatch successfully. If they emerge successfully from the egg case, they can expect to live for about 10 to 15 years if they reach maturity.

Pretty cool huh?! #youlearnsomethingneweveryday

https://www.mamamiss.com/blog/2021/04/01/adjusting-focus/

“When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in.” - Kristin Armstrong

Print it out and hang it in your workspace, or the hallway, or the bedroom mirror as inspiration…. to reframe the ol’ noggin and focus on the gratitude and the things that are most important to us.

I will be sharing an exciting announcement next week! Be sure to stay tuned and keep an eye out, I can’t wait to share this news with you!!!!!!!

Loose Parts Tray 🔩⚙️🗝 We’ve had this Loose Parts Tray 🔩⚙️🗝

We’ve had this loose parts tray since my kids were wee little ones and it is still utilized to this day.  I just happened to catch a kiddo mid-way through mandala making today. 

🌀💠🔆You can theme it out however you want - nature parts, color parts... think beads, buttons, bits & bobs... take a stroll down the small parts aisle at the craft store or your local hardware store to find some inspiration. 

🖇📏🧮 I love how loose part trays allow open-ended creative play.  Kiddos can explore the different textures and shape concepts in the tray to create structures, free play, or even work on math!

💡What would you use your loose parts tray for?
