Giveaway Monday – Wooden Bluebird by Mamaroots

Posted in Uncategorized on April 30th, 2012 by kristine — 32 Comments

It’s time to give away one of my favorite toymaker’s wooden toys! A fun little bluebird from Chris at mamaroots.com. If you’d like a chance to win him, leave a comment below!

Chris hand makes all her wooden toys, sands them down, hand stamps or wood burns them, paints them with all natural watercolors and seals them with a all natural homemade sealer to give them a softly buffed shine that delights both children and adults alike. Her collections often feature characters from story books, Waldorf and Montessori inspired learning tools (I absolutely love the Benjamin Rabbit from the Beatrix Potter stories!) and small journals that are perfect for younger kids learning to write and draw nature journal style. All these items and more can be found in her fun etsy shop. You’ll find all sorts of inspiration for storytelling, birthday celebrations, play time, nature tables and more.

If you’d like to become a fan of Chris’ Facebook page, you can find it here.

If you’d like a chance to win this wooden bluebird, leave a comment. For more chances, leave a separate comment each time you do one of the following:

-blog about this contest

-tell me what item you like best in her shop

-Facebook/Myspace/Tweet about it

-Post some pictures of your April activities using Herbal Roots on the Flickr Group Page

Delay with May Issue and Webinar Information

Posted in Uncategorized on April 30th, 2012 by kristine — Be the first to comment!
Due to a personal family matter, I may be a day or two late getting the next issue of Herbal Roots zine out. Instead of rushing to have it done by this morning, I wanted to be able to take the extra time needed to make sure it is as good as it should be. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
In the meantime, I wanted to let you know about a FREE webinar that is being put on by LearningHerbs, Mountain Rose Herbs and Aviva Romm M.D. titled Outdoor Kids: Herbal First Aid for Summer.
Aviva Romm is an author of several books including Vaccinations: A Thoughtful Parents Guide and Naturally Healthy Babies and Children. Aviva has over 20 years experience as a practicing Herbalist, Midwife and Doctor as well as personal experience with raising 4 children of her own.
This webinar will teach you what to pack in your summer herbal first aid kit, when to use herbs and when to see a doctor as well as share some fun herbal activities you can try with your kids this summer. I personally am looking forward to this webinar!

Catnip has long been associated with cats going crazy for this herb but long before cats adored this plant, humans found much medicinal use for it. While it won’t make you go crazy like it does for cats, it will soothe digestive issues, lower a fever, calm excited children and much, much more.

Learn all about the benefits of using Catnip in May’s issue of Herbal Roots zine: Curious About Catnip. The newest issue will be out on Monday, April 30, 2012 and you could win a free copy of it!
