Don't let the fact that Earth Day is behind us and school is winding down deter you from your good REUSING habits you have worked so hard to achieve. Summer offers just as many opportunities if not more to be waste-free and REUSE! As you head off to summer camp, the beach, picnics, and pool parties don't forget your Kids Konserve waste-free products; stainless steel beverage bottles, reusable stainless steel containers, and Kids Konserve Party Paks!! Yes, it may be easy to pull out a plastic baggie when we are in a rush, but here is a better solution - Kids Konserve products!

Lets honor our Earth all summer long and become conscious not to contribute to our landfills and even worse the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

This year we celebrated by planting seeds on a deck garden. The kids have wanted to do this forever

My tiny son was birthed into the world without a heartbeat on Earth day.... We named him Simon Alexander. I'm so glad that such a precious little person, though he never got to live on his own, was born on Earth day. My heart is broken from the loss of my son...but I am reminded that life goes on with each passing day of the eruption of spring. It doesn't ease my tears...but it reminds me of the beautiful life that he was. It reminds me that I can go on...holding the hands of my other sweet children and husband...we will always miss his tiny tiny feet, and though we will never get to hear his first laugh, the joy that he brought to us for 5 sweet months was HUGE. Earth day will always mean life to me...it will always remind me that we live in a fragile world...together. There is beauty to be found, even when tears are flowing down your cheeks. There is hope to be seen...even when your heart is broken.
