It's nice to see a smiling kid, all 3 of mine like the out doors which is a plus, I am against children sitting in front of technology all day, there is a time and place for it. better for them to learn than rot their brains away.
I find gardening to be great for stress, I go out in rain to the greenhouse and just potter about, there is only so much you can do as we are in winter at the moment but as spring is around the corner I am looking forward to this years adventures. :D
