Home made bath fizzies are a cool activity for tween girls (and practical because puberty can be smelly). Better than pin-the-tail on Justin Bieber. Promise!
Now I'll admit - I haven't tried making them....yet...I'm sharing the "recipe" here with you - which was shared with me by a friend - who did make them.
See the picture? Fantabulous!
It is a fantastic debate...withdraw from the paid workforce for family care giving or opt-out of the playground years to provide for the family. Katy Read's recent article, "Regrets of a Stay-at-Home Mom" (salon.com) re-sparked the debate of stay-at-home vs work-in-the-world. So what will it be?...play ground or pay cheque?
Family Literacy Day is on Jan. 27th and all over schools, libraries and families will be holding activities for reading (and pre-reading) kids. And when I first thought of activities to share with you to mark the day...well, I thought Robert Munsch (and some other Great Canadian Writers)...
Now, before you read any further - I'm all teary writing this...because when I think of Robert Munsch...I think of "I'll Love You Forever"...and that book makes me cry. Every. Time.
