One of the first projects I felt compelled to do after leafing through Homemade Home was what she refers to as the healing basket. Our basket, which we’ve been referring to as the care basket, contains 4 silky eye pillow (with rice and lavender in them), magic spray (water, lavender, rose and chamomile), various essential oils, fun band aids and hand lotion. When someone in the family is in need of some extra attention we’ve been pulling it out and tending to them. Today both boys relaxed on the couch and let me give them hand massages.
I think we all three enjoyed the time we spent giving and receiving our hand massages. This basket has been a great excuse for us to slow and down and tend to each other’s needs and I hope a true lesson in mindfulness.

Those grins are so cute. Little kids just CAN"T relax! I like the basket. A lavender eye pillow sounds heavenly right now.
