Earth Day is on April 22nd and it’s our 3rd annual Earth Month Blog Hop. Year one we talked about teaching kids 0-8 about the earth, last year we did a natural parenting event, and this year is all about finding fun new uses for the materials and recyclables you have on hand so you can take the earth month upcycle challenge with us.
