And the Story Begins...Organic Baby Paints

I have asked my dear friend Sarid to do a blog guest appearance as she is the CEO and found of Wee Can Too. Wee Can Too is an all natural, non toxic, ecofriendly, organic, and did we mention edible paint for your toddlers and babies. Sarid is a stay at home momma who has a passion for her children and organics. She has a steadfast growing love of just how fun and exciting the organic world can be and has a growing paint business that is faster growing than her hands can go....While stopping off at a local store to deliver her  organic baby paints, the store owner gave Sarid the upmost of compliments that I wanted to share with all of you, because sistas it's not just that these paints are organic and non toxic for your little hands running around, they are so much more and I just want to share it with you...

As I made a routine delivery to one of our local stores, I was blown away by a wonderful story:

A mother of an autistic 4 year-old girl told the owner that she was an avid fan of our organic edible paints (always so great to hear). She also said that her daughter was now potty trained and she felt that the artistic therapy of the paints was in result of that.

If this is so, (goosebumps) I have already obtained my goals here with these paints!

I am holding my darling second child (11 months old) on my lap as I type one-handed right now. I feel blesssed everyday with my family and my life. To have a hand in this type of growth only makes me more appreciative of this amazing world and my position in it.

To that momma who shared her story, I say thank you. What a compliment and to think that children are able to focus from the tactile textures in the paint is amazing and I feel very blessed to hear the story and to found such a wonderful, successful, and growing company that helps others.
With pure love and admiration...

Finding a hobby you really enjoy...

Hobbies are those great outlets that keep every mother sane. Finding a hobby that is healthy and makes you happy can sometimes be a challenge but if you are able to give yourself at least some free time in the day to do something you enjoy, your stress level will reduce itself and your joy will increase. Some hobbies are meant to do with the children too and can also be a creative outlet for them too.

If you love to excercise but can't seem to find the time and have little ones, use a running stroller and get out and go! Take the dog for a walk with the kids, even the little things can make a big difference in joy and stress levels. Do a workout video a few times in the morning before the kids are up....It will have you pumped for the whole day. Try a workout class at the gym where there is daycare included. If your children are old enough, try a bike ride in the evening, helmets included of course.

Take the photography class you've been meaning to take, or what about the paint class you've been looking at for the past year? Now is the time while summer is hear!

If you love to read, start a neighborhood book club. Why find the books that Oprah is recommending, why not rely on your friends and yourself to see what you are interested in studying together and take the challenge. You are sure to feed off each others minds.

Get out there and go, What are you waiting for?
