Birdseed Biscuit

brought to you by Family Fun

 

To encourage birds to visit your yard, try hanging a homemade birdseed biscuit.

Materials
  • 3/4 cup of birdseed
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • Water
  • Cookie cutter
  • Oil
  • Foil
  • Cookie sheet
  • Straw
  • Ribbon
Instructions

  1. Our recipe makes two 3-inch biscuits (one is shown here) or a single 4-inch biscuit. Mix together the birdseed, flour, and 2 tablespoons of water.

  2. Spray or wipe a cookie cutter with oil and place it on a foil-covered cookie sheet. Pack the mixture into the cutter, inserting half a straw near the top to create a hole for hanging.

  3. Bake the biscuit (with the straw) in a 170º oven until the biscuit is hard, about one hour. Let it cool.

  4. Remove the straw, thread a ribbon through the hole, and hang it outside in a sheltered spot.

 
 

Working Outside the Home: Can Mothers Make It Work?

by Amy Scholten, MPH

 

Today, more than 50% of mothers with infants and young children work outside the home. Are you struggling with the decision? Read on to find out what your options are.

Though most mothers work because of financial need, many choose to work for other reasons. Some want to stay on top of a fast-changing career, while others enjoy the intellectual stimulation, camaraderie, and sense of purpose and accomplishment that their work provides. The decision to work or stay at home can be a tough one for new mothers. There are no correct answers, and each woman must evaluate her specific situation before she decides what is best for her.

What Could It Mean for Your Child?

Before making a decision, you need to evaluate the effects—both positive and negative—that working outside the home can have on your child. Whether these effects are positive or negative depend largely on who will be responsible for taking care of your child.

Positives
  • Children under the care of a consistent and nurturing caretaker may develop as well emotionally as do children whose mothers stay home.
  • The mother-child bond should not be damaged.
  • Being exposed to peers, your child will have a chance to develop social skills sooner.
  • Your child will have a chance to develop independence and responsibility at an earlier age.
  • Your child will have more opportunities to learn to trust other adults.
Negatives
  • Due to exposure to other children, your child may have more infections.
  • If your child is sick, the care provider may not be able to take care of your child. For this reason, you may need to find an alternate provider or program. You should also have a back-up option if the sitter is sick.
