Potpourri Gift Bag Activity

The October Love the Moment Challenge was all about smell.  Below was my list for the month:

  • find my mum’s perfume. Done!
  • buy fresh flowers once this month Done!
  • make bread Done!
  • make potpourri bags with the kids Done!

When it came to making potpourri bags with the kids, we found it to be such an easy and fun activity.

1. Buy

We found a variety of gorgeous potpourri from House & Garden. The children loved smelling them all before deciding on the one they liked best.

Kelly loves life at both ends of the spectrum: wearing high heel shoes one day and hiking boots the next; sipping tea out of a pretty cup and slurping hot coffee from a camping mug; challenging herself physically and stopping for quiet unhurried moments to feel the wind on her face. Kelly and her husband Matthew seek to live a fun and adventurous life with their four children and pet bird.
