As I am preparing this post, it is a windy, rainy Sunday so I felt inspired to share this awesome post from the gals over at www.PiertoPeer.net on creative rainy day activities for kids!
Of course by the time this publishes tomorrow, I am sure it will be sunny again, but rainy day or not, Pier to Peer has come up with some really great ideas on ways to keep the kiddos entertained indoors. Personally I am going to use some of these with my older daughter when my little one is napping.
LOVE this guest post by Susanne on a new way she has discovered to get the kiddos to eat more balanced meals. Here is what she wrote…

Nothing says love like handmade.
When Valentine’s Day rolls around, I get excited about making little tokens of affection.
If you haven’t made it over to check out the new Granola Babies location in SOCO (next to the oc mart MIX) in Costa Mesa, it is one of those outings you have to put on your list! This natural baby boutique is the largest natural parenting store in OC, but what some of you might not know is that Granola Babies also offers amazing classes and events for expecting and new parents.
When I was breastfeeding and had an infant, I truly relied on my mommy friends to survive. Being a new mom was not something that was meant to be forged through alone! That’s why I was really happy to see that Granola Babies offers such great support classes to help moms when we need it most.
Most all of the classes require registration in advance at least a day prior to the class. Please click the title of the class for more information and click HERE for the entire calendar.
