HOW TO CELEBRATE EARTH DAY!!!

Happy Earth Day!

For me, Earth Day is about getting out and enjoying all that we have. It's about being grateful for this beautiful place where we live.

So how can you celebrate earth day as a family and how can you do your part to keep our Earth strong?

Go visit a local garden area and really enjoy it. In West Palm beach there is a beautiful botanical gardens area. it's a hidden secret but just so pretty. There are koy fish that swim in the ponds, a butterfly garden as well as nice bench areas to kick your feet up and oh if you go there, look for the rainbow tree- it's a tree that gets wet and changes colors.

Another great way to spend earth day with the family is to take a family bike ride. Give your car a break and ride around the neighborhood.  

If your looking for a fun bonding activity with your children planting a garden is a great way to spend time together and grow fresh veggies too. Think about it, you plant the garden together and then when the veggies are ripe, you pick them together and enjoy a family meal. It's a great way for kids to take ownership in something and to gain an interest in healthy eating.

Search for an Earth Day event! Find something you can do as a family whether it's a beach clean up, park clean up or just a fun city event with face painting and tree-planting.

Be sure to check out your community calendar to see what fun events your community has for you and your family. But more than anything, teach your children to appreciate the Earth and the world we live in. Create one new habit whether it be creating a Garden, or making a toxic free cleaning solution or even using reusable bags while grocery shopping.


Have fun and Happy Earth day !
