Once again I was on StumbleUpon—my time-wasting nemesis—and I stumbled across this problem that apparently can be solved by preschool children in five to ten minutes. I figured it out in four. Can you?

Homemade Popsicles

For Kids And Adults

by: Sharon DeVellis

I've been juicing a lot lately which means I've been buying a lot of fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately I went a bit overboard the first week and ended up with three containers of strawberries that were in danger of going bad so the kids and I made popsicles. Now you can too.

STRAWBERRY POPSICLES: KID VERSION

1 large container strawberries—washed and hulled

Lunch Notes For Little Ones

It Was A Very Special Day When I Received A Note Back

by: Sharon DeVellis

For years I have put notes in my sons' lunches. For the most part they don't mention them. Quite frankly, I was never really sure they were even being read but I kept putting them in because that's what moms do, right? We do little things that go unnoticed until one day we don't do them and realize they have been noticed.  So I continued to put notes of love, warmth, encouragement and humour into their little lunchbags. Notes that told them how proud they make me. Notes with knock-knock jokes. Notes that simply said "I love you".
