The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

March 15, 2022

No.632: Five Good Things // No.09

1 // A FUN SPRINGTIME ACTIVITY

On one of the warmer days last week, we made a homemade bubble solution using this recipe.  I kept the 4:1:2 ratio, but went with a cup versus a tablespoon.  Big hit with the smallest three kids.

2 // HELP FOR NOVICE GARDENERS (LIKE ME!)

When it comes to gardening, I need all the help I can get.  I recently discovered the From Seed to Spoon App and it is a treasure trove of information for novices like me!  The layout is easy to navigate and I especially love how it tells you when and how to plant each variety.  The “friends” section is helpful for companion gardening as well.  I’m learning a lot and have completely revamped my garden plan.

3 // NEW IDEAS FOR GETTING EVERYONE OUTSIDE

Have you seen the 1000 Hours Outside kick off packet?  (Thanks for the tip, Tab!)  My kids are a bit older and we already spend a lot of time outside with farm/garden stuff, but I still found value in the printables.  I’m jotting down the best ideas in my planner and plan to surprise the littler kids with special days throughout the year.  Yay for helping me be a fun mom!

4 // A VIDEO THAT MADE MY KIDS LAUGH

The elementary-aged kids and I just finished up the mammal unit in science and they especially loved the section on primates.  One of the animals we learned about was the macaque and this video had them in stitches.  I mean…what a life.

5 // A MORE NATURAL SOLUTION FOR HEADACHE SUPPORT

I occasionally struggle with hormonal and stress headaches.  In an attempt to find a more natural solution, I purchased the Migraine Support roll on from Rocky Mountain Oils.  If I apply it as soon as I feel the headache coming, it really takes the edge off.  Not sure I’d say it completely takes it away, but I’m thankful for the supplementary help.
