Telling a story

I love to tell stories to my kids, but it is more difficult to tell a story on this blog or in my Etsy shop in a language that is not my mother tongue. For some reason I always have the feeling that my brain is so much less creative when I start to think in another language than French.

So let's make a try! :) This morning I published a new item in my Etsy shop. I prepared the listing yesterday, and decided to change it after I read Nicolas' post on The AGteam blog. He is so right! Stories are so fun to read and will give an item a life and a soul!
The item is a little bandana bib made with an organic fabric that I absolutely had to use. In general I try to avoid anything related to movies, comics or books. But this fabric is a special one, it represents Truffula trees from the Dr Seuss' Lorax book. 

Truffula Tree Bib in Red

This book tells the story of a man, the "Once-ler" who brings a tree species to extinction and destroys a beautiful area while making himself go from the heights of success to solitude and sadness. It is an old book but it is beautifully written and drawn, and unfortunately more to the point than ever. We read it very often to our kids and it has become one of their favorite. Hopefully they will be some day belong to those who will care for the Earth. ;)

No real surprise, but so scary... Pas une réelle surprise, mais ca fait peur quand meme...

We all know that junk food it unhealthy, but a study on rats shows that it is even worth than that. It affects the brain just like drugs... So scary when you know that some kids get this type of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner! For more precise information, here is the article.


Nous savions déjà que la malbouffe est mauvaise pour la santé. Mais une étude sur des rats montre qu'elle agit sur le cerveau telle un drogue. Ca fait tellement peur lorsqu'on sait que certains enfants ont ce type de nourriture pour le petit dejeuner, le dejeuner et le diner !
