TOS Crew Review: Vintage Remedies

As this new year is coming to a close,

I tend to get in a reflective mood,

and look towards setting goals

for the new year,

so when we received...

 ...Vintage Remedies for Kids

by

Jessie Hawkins,

I was reminded how badly we need to 

tweak our eating habits 

in this household.

We can be rather a mess sometimes

 when it comes to our diet.

We love our sweets,

and baked goodies,

and McDonald's bags have been seen

littering the inside of our van.

That being said,

we also enjoy eating fruits and veggies,

so this book is giving us all a new

wind to change our lifestyle....

Hopefully...

*********************************************

So,

how is this book set up?

It is not a picture book,

but rather a "textbookish" guide to use

as a catalyst for discussion with your kiddos.

When the kiddos and I went through...

 

 ...Chapter Two: Natural Candy-Fruit,

I read aloud a section provided which helped explain 

such concepts as

"nutrients" and "fiber."

 Afterwards...

 ...we discussed questions provided at the end of the text.

Both the reading and the the questions

brought times tot he kiddos' minds in which

we have used fruit in different aspects

of our daily lives and homeschooling.

This discussion included references to:

1.  A day at a local apple orchard...

...to pick apples for making apple butter.

2. An apple tasting day...

 at home.

 3.  Bringing home berries from the local

Farmer's Market...

...to make loads of homemade freezer jam.

 *******************************************

The end of each chapter has different activities suggested

to reinforce the concepts learned in the chapter...

 ...like making "Fruit Ice Cream."

(We haven't tried this recipe yet,

but I think when the weather warms again

we will be getting some berries together 

for this treat!)

*********************************************

Now,

like I said before,

we are trying to ease more into

a healthy lifestyle,

so this book is a perfect tool for us.

I know that many of you granola Mommies 

out there will have no need for a book like this,

because you are already teaching your kiddos 

all this wonderful information daily.

But for those of you who need help

moving yourself and your kiddos

towards a healthier lifestyle,

please check out this book,

as well as many other useful products,

by clicking HERE. 

This book is only

 $25.00,

whcih seems pretty reasonable to me,

especially if it enables a family

to be healthier.

And,

not to be flip,

but who can really put a price on

good health?  ;0)
