Here's to the Crazy One(s)...

Made me cry.

You can see Steve Jobs speaking about this campaign here. What passion. What integrity. What a life. Thanks for being yourself Steve - your legacy is a shining light for all of us. X

Parts of a Flower

I am loving this post from Satori Smiles. I've never seen a Microfleur Flower Press before! What a cool thing. Okay - I don't actually own a microwave but I know people who do. Lol. And this has now been officially added to my Amazon wishlist ;)

And as if that and the subsequently laminated + labelled lily aren't cool enough ~ the Celebration Plant Salad is brilliant. A salad where you can eat all parts of a plant:  flower + stem + leaves + seeds + fruit + roots.  Smart. And damn gorgeous too.

p.s. I'm pretty fond on their learning spaces too :) Like the Learning Loft and the Atelier Creative Room. I think I need to start naming some of our favourite spots too!

My cool cats...

Yummy + Healthy Bliss Balls!

+ Dried dates { pre-soak in filtered water for 30 mins and drain}

+ Almond meal 

+ LSA { Linseed / Sunflower seed / Almond mix - optional }

+ Raw Cacao 

+ Coconut Oil 

+ Coconut. 

So easy:

1. Guesstimate your quantities ;) You can adjust to taste.

2. Add the first 4 ingredients to a food processor; process until the dates are completely pulverised.  

3. Add enough Coconut Oil to get the mix sticky.

4. Roll into balls. 

5. Roll balls in coconut. 

6. Voila!

Yum! 

These are a huge hit here at the moment. Plus they're gluten-free, free of refined sugar, dairy-free & full of goodness. I've always wanted to make them & threw this very simple recipe together based on my own pantry but I'm sure there are a multitude of variations out there. 

What yummy { and healthy } treats are your family enjoying at the moment? 

Listening / Reading / Dreaming

I am...

Listening to this inspired talk by John Taylor Gatto.

Reading about Charlotte Mason.

Dreaming of ordering Montessori Math manipulatives.

Wow. Love this! The retro charm teamed with a seriously great idea. Oooozes cool in my books.

Now I wonder if we have a family member who can make a set of these for the boys for Christmas?! ;)
