DIY Toddler Fun: Easy, cheap bathtub painting

This activity is a BIG hit with Ruby. Just a drop or two of food coloring in a cheap can of foam shaving cream. Then a few paintbrushes and a paint tray borrowed from our art supplies. She actually likes this a lot even when I just spray out the shaving cream and leave it white, so that's what I usually do. We practice letters and numbers and she loves drawing clouds. 

Tip: check first to see if the food coloring stains your walls. It left some of my grout a little bit tinted.


Deliciousness: Breakfast of champions

This is our new family breakfast routine at our house. Greek yogurt with sliced up grapefruit, peaches, and/or plums (you really can't beat the fresh, locally-grown stone fruit in California!). Drizzle a little agave nectar and you've got deliciousness and nutritiousness. Yum.
