Smell The Roses

Herb Frog

We have forgotten to smell the roses and sit in the sun. There are so many warnings about the  challenges of being outside that we have chosen to stay inside. Of course, our children have taken our lead. They sit inside with their X Boxes, i phones and i pads and we complain about how sedentary they are. It is important for us to guide them in  developing habits of going outside for fun and healing.

When my daughters were little, I would make up stories about the fairies living in the trees and flying carpet rides on our walks.  Today, I saw this link to a  special website that has created  magical books about herbal fairies. It sounds and looks  like an awesome resource for parents and children. You can explore  the gifts of healing and nature with your kids and have fun at the same time.  Herb fairies- a Magical tale of plants and their remedies
