Summer break is creeping up!!

With more free time around the corner, consider this new research:

https://globalnews.ca/news/11238062/screen-time-cycle-kids-bad-social-emotional-behaviour-study/amp/.

Taking the time now to write out a summer menu with your kids can be helpful! Make lists of activities that can fall into the categories of physical, chill time, chores, and trips. Post these summer menus for your kids to order from over the summer to help decrease screen time and the chance of you hearing "Mom! I'm bored!!!!"

While there's a lot of chatter around kids and social media use, the study found that time spent on gaming consoles was particularly damaging.

There's a baby in bloom!!
We celebrated Klarissa today. Her last day is May 30th. What a great afternoon at the Watering Can in Niagara. Tea in the garden. Planting and gardening is totally Klarissa Lee's jam. We made some gorgeous pots and celebrated baby to be!!!

To say we are going to miss Klarissa is an understatement. 🥺

We are so excited for her!!!
Please help us wish her Happy Baby vibes!
