I’m trying to make a move away from synthetic food dyes and wanted to use natural, homemade dyes this year. Not only are these colors absolutely healthy for human consumption, but the process of making them is a wonderful lesson in creating art materials from scratch and can help children think critically about how to achieve various colors colors.
As I was cutting the onions and beets I asked my daughter what colors she thought they’d make. I also asked questions like, “If I wanted to make blue dye, what might I make it with?”
She had fun making guesses based on what we had in our kitchen and garden, and also came up with her own wild suggestions such as, “let’s take the skins off the bananas to make yellow dye!”
Low Vitamin D Levels
Low vitamin D levels are associated with cognitive impairment and stroke. If you live in northern latitudes, avoid sun exposure, have dark skin or have kidney disease you may be deficient in this important nutrient. A simple blood test can determine if you need to take a supplement.

Traditional hammock netting doesn't offer much in the way of support. But this hammock, with its solid bed of breathable fabric, supports you without that "sinking in" feeling. Suspended in air, it gently sways to and fro to make relaxing even more enjoyable!
