March is Women’s History Month and National Craft Month
In honor of craft month (+ beyond), I challenge Kindoinfo readers (and myself) to make art a part of every day—art-making or appreciation needn’t be elaborate.

Helping Kids Have a Healthy Body Image Starts at Home
To get off the weight loss cycle of one step forward, two steps back, we need to focus on truly important life goals - health, happiness and setting positive examples for our ourselves and our families.
Nutrition and exercise should not be an annual intervention, but a part of our everyday life. Maybe if we were focusing on goals that are truly meaningful to ourselves, we’d be more successful. What if we cared – really cared - more about being happy and healthy? It sounds like a dream!

Holiday Tradition: Hack a Gingerbread House (or a Whole Village)!
Creating a gingerbread village has become an annual tradition in my family. Even though I love to make the houses for it with my kids, I am a better crafter than a baker. And since I have not mastered the art of creating an edible gingerbread house, I have hacked together gingerbread houses that look pretty good in the end and are fun for the kids to assemble.
I use a combination of ready-made gingerbread kits, graham crackers, old Halloween candy, and a low-temp glue gun to construct our village. Add some lights, trees, figurines, and cotton batting, and you have a miniature winter wonderland. If you want a pre-assembled house or to bake yours from scratch, check the list of helpful resources below.
