Mom Tip
The Grass is always greener
As a busy mom it's often difficult to figure out
how to keep your lawn green and spend time
with the kids at the same time. One way to do
both is to allow your mini gardeners to help out.
Lessons for them to learn:
*Explain the effect water has on all living
creatures.
*If you see spots in the grass that are brown or
dry, instruct your child to water those particular
sections and watch them be amazed as the
weeks go by and those spots begin to turn
green.
*Help them identify different plants and insects
they might discover.
Added benefit:
If you want to sneak some exercise in, try
marching in place or doing some lunges or deep
knee bends while you supervise them.
(Always consult with your doctor before engaging in any new exercise
program)
