You don't have to love everything you do in life, but if you've learned that something is just done a certain (healthy, natural way), what a gift you've been given! <br /><br />Your kids are so lucky! And so is everyone who will be touched by their knowledge and experience. That means the rest of us!Jessica Claire (Crunchy-Chewy Mama)http://crunchychewymama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1168618921375018234.post-7965869975300242782011-05-12T02:37:10.401-04:002011-05-12T02:37:10.401-04:00I love that - the new normal!

Sometimes when you make a big deal about something kiddos seem to reject it more...whereas if you just start doing it on a regular basis it just gets assimilated without much fuss and before you know it everyone's enjoying it.

Simply by embracing gardening yourself and showing how rewarding it can be will provide meaningful lessons for your children; whether they take it up or not is up to them but they will benefit one way or another :)mrs green @ littlegreenbloghttp://littlegreenblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1168618921375018234.post-2576146347869972332011-05-10T08:28:14.653-04:002011-05-10T08:28:14.653-04:00I 100% agree that is important for our kids to see...I 100% agree that is important for our kids to see things such as growing our own food as normal and common place!

I like the idea that you're just presenting it as <i>normal</i>, and there's no pressure to participate — your kids (and mine) will just soak it in as what you do to make food.Lauren Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500733577920040395noreply@blogger.com
