We’ve always been fond of making things. My husband particularly with making sauces from scratch because he finds it so wasteful when we buy a whole bottle of sauce and only use it like a few times before it goes in the garbage.
We always want to come up with the perfect experiment to do with the kids in order to get them interested in science or even making things. What we have come to realize is to just have them make something whether it is food or whatever, they are gaining new skills and we are fostering interest in them in the process.
Since this breakthrough, we have started to enjoy the process of doing things with them more! Before we would spend days stressed about what to do with them when it was unnecesssary.
My plan was to make a video of the kids and us making pizza with no boundaries, but it never happened because we got so caught up with the process. Oh well, part of the process of raising a family you will miss capturing some moments or when it is time to capture a moment your kids are uncooperative. I know we will gradually get there 🙂
