So I
decided to only write things in this blog that I really cared about and wanted
people to know and lately I’ve been really busy with school essays and work
which isn’t really fun to read about. I’ve also spent a lot of time with the
most important people in my life, my family, my husband, kids and everyone else
that I love spending time with. But since my husband’s working away and the
kids have had an early night for a change I thought I should sit down and write
about what’s happened in my life and a few funny things like taking part in a
photoshoot for the lovely eco-friendly kids’ store http://www.karolek.se/. My
friend is running it and she’s an amazing person so I wish her all the best. It’s also time for charley’s birthday next
week he’ll be turning four and is really looking forward to a fun birthday party
with his family and friends I’m currently trying to come up with some fun
outdoor games to play and how to make his ice hockey themed cake. We also had
time to celebrate my amazing mum who had a very big birthday year which was a
lovely day spend with family.
But I think
I will start with the really fun and messy play photoshoot we had the other day.
Luckily the weather was really nice and we could take pictures both outside and
indoors. I’m so excited that we had the opportunity to help a friend. As you
know I believe that everyone should start to think a bit more about the things
were buying for ourselves and where they come from and are made of. I want to
know that the paint my children plays with during arts and crafts are chemical
free and this is why it’s so fun to help a smaller company that also are
promoting these things. I know that the owner of the shop loves these things as
much as I do. Plus, the kids got a really fun day out of it playing with finger-paint
and painting their nails with edible nail varnish which www.kärolek.se is the
only retailer of in Sweden which is really cool. I really can’t wait to see the
pictures of the kids but took some of my own as they looked so happy. I know the eco options can seem more expensive
but I know that in the long run its worth it and also kids don’t need a million
toys to be happy I know that time together is very appreciated as well so we
have lots of arts and crafts days at home. I’m not saying you should by toys
for your children just try and find a better option when you buy them. Look round
a bit and try and get the things that are the best for the environment which
also will mean less chemical for your children when they play with the toys. I’m
not lecturing anyone and of course you buy whatever toys you want for your kids
in the end but this might make you aware that there are different options to
everything. But in the end you do what’s the best for your family.
