Happy Earth Day!

Today on April 22nd we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day. This annual event is celebrated around the world to show our love for Earth and share ways we can protect it.

Every year my family and I try to do something together on this day to help our planet. I participated in beach cleanups with my Dad when I was young

and I try to teach my girls now about cleaning up litter and recycling. We like to plant flowers and seeds in our yard and enjoy exploring nature together. 

Today I am sharing some of our favorite Earth Day inspired crafts, recipes, and activities to do at home with your kids. Teach them about saving our planet and have fun doing it!

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the Earth.” —Henry David Thoreau

Another fun memory was my 2014 Earth Day party.

I hosted this festive gathering when Ava was just a baby and I invited my fellow military spouses for a poolside lunch.

We enjoyed the beautiful day together and everyone went home with recycled goodies including crayons and seeds.

Earth Day 2016 at the park. One of our favorite places to be. 

“Keep close to Nature’s heart… and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” —John Muir

We spent Earth Day 2022 in Springfield at the picnic and a movie event in the gardens. It was the perfect sunny afternoon with a breeze and we shared a delicious charcuterie picnic and watched "Bee Movie". The girls did crafts, played in the park, listened to speakers and poetry, and @theparkboard gave us a tree to take home. We had a great time and everyone slept the whole drive home (except Mom)! #earthday2022 #springfieldmo #missourilife #movienight #earthday #picnic #familyfun
