Evergreen parenting and life advice.

Can confirm: this works.

I return to this advice over and over ESPECIALLY in the summer when the heat is making everyone cranky. Just add water- drink from a hose, spray a hose and look for the rainbow, bust out your bubble options (Pustefix has some fun ones), find a creek/watering hole/pool/kiddie pool/ocean/lake, plop in a bubble bath, make nature soup with petals/leaves/berries, munch on some crushed ice or Kona ice… WATER TO THE RESCUE!

““My favorite parenting advice is, ‘If they are crabby, add water.’ This has served me well over the years and believe it or not, with a 14, 10 and eight-year-old, I still use it. Run a bath, take a shower, water the garden, wash the dog, have a hot drink, have a cold drink… just add water. It works 99% of the time.” —Chloe”
