Happy Back to School, Tiny Humans 🤗🍎

Today should be the last day where all of our kiddos are officially back in school and I just want to take a moment to send so much love to each of you as you step into a brand new school year.🚌📚

To all of our students🎓 I’m wishing you a happy, safe, and confident school year filled with new friends, big smiles, kind classmates, and so many new things to learn. I hope you discover what you’re great at, ask all the curious questions, and remember you can always try again if something feels hard at first. You’ve got this.

To our parents, 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 I see you too. New routines, earlier mornings, packed lunches, homework folders, and all the little transitions that come with a new school year can be a lot. Give yourself grace as everyone settles in. You’re doing an amazing job supporting your Tiny Human, and I’m wishing your whole household a smooth start and a year that feels organized, joyful, and full of wins.

To our teachers, 👩🏾‍🏫 thank you 🙏🏾 Thank you for your patience, your structure, your creativity, your calm when things get chaotic, and the way you show up for children every single day. You are shaping little hearts and minds in ways that last far beyond the school year. We appreciate you, we’re cheering you on, and we’re wishing you a safe, supported, and successful school year.

Ms. B’s 🐝 Back to School schedule will officially start September 1 and we are so excited. We’re looking forward to a season full of steady routines, growing independence, and lots of learning and laughter along the way.

B’s Kitchen Sunday

Fresh from the garden and full of color, this Veggie Pasta with Basil is one of those cozy, feel good meals that comes together fast and tastes like sunshine in a bowl. It’s packed with tender zucchini, sweet cherry tomatoes, and crisp bell peppers, all tossed in garlicky olive oil and finished with a handful of basil for that fresh, herby hug. Perfect for busy families, easy to prep ahead, and a fun way to let your Tiny Humans help in the kitchen.

Fresh Garden Veggie Pasta with Basil 🥗

Ingredients
2 cups fresh garden vegetables (zucchini, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers)
chopped 8 oz pasta of choice
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic
minced 1 cup fresh basil leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Step-by-Step Prep and Cook Instructions 👩🏾‍🍳
Step 1 Wash all garden vegetables thoroughly under cool running water.
Step 2 Chop zucchini into half-moons, halve cherry tomatoes, and dice bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3 Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 4 Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Step 5 While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6 Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 7 Add all chopped vegetables to the skillet and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until tender and lightly golden.
Step 8 Tear fresh basil leaves and add them to the vegetables in the last minute of cooking.
Step 9 Drain pasta and add it directly to the skillet with the vegetables.
Step 10 Toss everything together gently, season with salt and pepper, and serve warm.

Kid-Friendly Helper Moment
Tiny Humans can help wash the vegetables in a shallow bowl of cool water, tear basil leaves by hand, and help toss the finished pasta and vegetables together in the skillet (with your hands guiding theirs).

Buzzin’ Questions 🧐💭

Q: Can I pack my child food, snacks, or provide breastmilk?

A: Yes, of course. You are always welcome to send food, snacks, and/or breastmilk for your Tiny Human.

At the current moment, all foods and snacks are welcome to send. 🤗

We have a mini fridge just for the Tiny Humans, located in the dining room, and you’re more than welcome to place your items inside.

This is also where the items we prep on Sundays from B’s Sunday Kitchen will be stored, along with any freshly picked fruits and vegetables from our garden through The Hive to Harvest program.👩🏾‍🌾

To help everything stay safe and organized, please label all items with your family’s last name and the date you placed them in the fridge. The fridge is cleaned, rotated, and wiped out weekly in Sundays.

Perseid meteor shower night, Tiny Humans.

If you’ve ever wanted a “core memory” moment, tonight is a good one. The Perseids are one of the most reliable meteor showers of the year, and they happen when Earth passes through dusty debris left behind by Comet Swift Tuttle. When those tiny bits hit our atmosphere, they burn up and make those quick bright streaks we call “shooting stars.”

When to watch
The Perseids peak tonight into early morning, August 12 to August 13.
Best viewing is usually after midnight through the pre dawn hours.
If you can, try a quick watch window between about 12:30am and 4:30am.
The sweet spot is often around 2am to 4am when more meteors tend to show up.

Where to watch
Darker is better.
Backyard, porch, driveway, or any safe spot away from streetlights.
Look up at the biggest open patch of sky you can see.
You do not need a telescope or binoculars, your eyes are best for meteors.

How to see more meteors
Give your eyes 10 to 15 minutes to adjust to the dark.
Keep phone brightness low or avoid looking at it.
Plan to watch for at least 15 to 20 minutes, meteors come in little bursts and quiet stretches.

Tiny Human version
If you wake them, keep it simple and cozy.
Blanket, quick cuddle, step outside for a few minutes, then right back to bed.
You can tell them, We’re going to see space sparkle for a minute.

Hand, Foot, and Mouth is currently going around the city so I wanted to share a quick health heads up for our Ms. B’s families and community.

What to watch for
Fever
Sore throat
Crankiness or low appetite
Rash or small blisters on hands, feet, diaper area, or around the mouth

How it spreads
Hand, Foot, and Mouth spreads easily through close contact and shared spaces. It can be passed through saliva, mucus, fluid from blisters, and stool. It also spreads from touching contaminated surfaces like toys, tables, doorknobs, and then touching the mouth, nose, or eyes.

How to help prevent the spread
Wash hands often with soap and water, especially after diaper changes and before eating
Disinfect high touch surfaces and commonly used toys regularly
Avoid sharing cups, utensils, pacifiers, towels, and washcloths
Teach Tiny Humans to cover coughs and sneezes when possible and wipe noses promptly
Keep children home if they have symptoms and let your childcare provider know right away

At Ms. B’s, I’m increasing sanitizing throughout the day and focusing on high touch surfaces, toys, and shared areas to help limit spread. Thank you for partnering with me, communicating quickly, and helping keep our Tiny Humans safe and healthy.

Tiny Humans + fresh air + a little community adventure 😎 Sounds like my kind of Tuesday.

Today we took a walk up to the farmers market hosted by Shalom Farms and it was such a sweet way to slow down and soak up the day. There’s something special about walking together, chatting along the way, and letting the kids see where good food comes from.

We browsed, picked out fresh fruits and veggies, and grabbed a few kid-friendly goodies to bring back with us. The Tiny Humans loved looking at all the colors and choices, and I loved being able to stock up on fresh, nourishing options for our week.

And because Tuesdays like to add a little surprise, on the walk back the city started opening up a few fire hydrants. So of course we had to pause and let the dog cool off and play for a bit. Big splashes, happy wiggles, and lots of giggles from the kids watching it all happen.

Simple moments like this are the ones that fill everybody’s cup.

This weekend we hit the Back-to-School Block Party hosted by Mom to Mom and had an absolute blast before the rain rolled in.

There was ice cream, bounce houses, and so many good vendors to check out. The Tiny Humans were living their best lives, and honestly so was I. And let me tell you about that store deal because it was 25% off for tax-free weekend plus I used a 15% coupon and store credit. We were making out like a fat rat. The best part The receipt ended up being longer than our Tiny Humans. That’s how you know we did it right.

If you were there, what was your favorite part of the day? And if you missed it this time, don’t worry we’ll catch the next one.

Hey friends and families! 💛

I’m interested in purchasing a jungle gym, but I sadly don’t have a way to transport it to our new location. Is there anyone who has a truck and is available to help with pickup and drop off?

If you’re able to help (or know someone who can), please comment below or send me a message and I’ll share the details.

Thank you so much in advance, I truly appreciate it! 🐝
