Earth Hour has always been important in our household. We pay attention to the lights we have on all the time, but I do like the symbolic effect of turning all the lights off for an hour or so. This has become even more highlighted with our toddler.
2013 marked the third Earth Hour we have had with our little lady and the second where she was old enough to understand. This year we had our second annual Earth Hour Hide and Seek. Playing candle light makes it that much trickier.
Once we were all tuckered out, we headed into the living room to wind down. Lilly got a hold of the battery operated candle…
And of course, I had to take one of the candles in my study…my favourite room in the house looks even better in candle light.
I love those battery candles! Great with little ones around.
Yeah they really are perfect for little hands. She loved playing with it.
I love that you are teaching her at such a young age the importance of keeping the planet clean!
Thanks! I know they learn it more in school now as well, but I want to ensure that we have the same message at home.
So glad those are battery operated, they really have a great safety feature!! I was looking for a Bloglovin badge so I can follow your blog, Heres an invitation to add your blog to Japanese Gardens & Geisha Girls WW w/Linky
It’s really great because she understands that she can’t touch the regular ones, but this one is hers

Battery operated candles sure play tricks on your mind. lol.

Those are really fabulous shots!!
Happy WW!
I haven’t used a battery operated candle but it looks like a good idea.
I love these shots! I also love candles. I wish I had thought of getting battery operated candles when my small people were tinier.
Thanks for linking up over at Tales of a Pee Dee Mama
Wow! So beautiful! Great shots. Thanks for hosting.
Hi Crys! Thanks for visiting Amanda’s Books and More! I just love those photos of your little girl. She looks like a doll. We like to do things earth friendly at our home, but we haven’t had the earth hour, although we have had power outages before. Thankfully it’s less often than in the previous years. I had you on Google+ and now I’ve added Bloglovin. Take care!

What a lovely reminder to think about the Earth more and who doesn’t think books look better by candlelight? And she is gorgeous by candlelight!
Happy WW!
