Recap of our day...

There was painting of favourite rooms...


Before-


After primer-


No pic yet of new color.....


Then there was vegan sushi...
Liv is eating avocado, brown rice and alfalfa sprouts in nori.
True story. She devoured it.


I discovered more valentines- Ira made these from an old card and construction paper.









I walked and bounced and swayed and danced sweet baby boy all day.... My legs are as exhausted as my mind! G'nite!

Pie

We made a fabulous vegan pie tonight- thought I'd share-

Handful flax seeds
1/2 c almonds
1/2c almond butter
1/4c coconut oil
Put all into food processor. Drizzle in agave to taste. Once it's smooth- spread evenly in pie dish. Put in freezer.




Then, I grabbed some leftover oatmeal-



Put that in the processor and then added
1 can solid coconut milk (from fridge)
Cocoa powder to taste
Splash vanilla
Agave to taste

Process until smooth then spread over hardened 'crust' return to fridge for can hour.





Yum delicious.

Lovely morning post

Life can only be good when you wake up to this face-




Already the girls have snacked on their gluten free bread and oatmeal.

There have been shark documentaries and jaguar documentaries and looking up facts of the goblin shark.


Scary stuff. :)

On an expedition!

That's what Ira called it! We found some lovely lush (and muddy) grass to play in under a couple orange trees!













Making wishes on dandelions for the first time ever!

sunday funday

more vday crafting......table top yoga....

space sand.....



big & little R.....


We got this decoder book at target for $1- ira loved it sooooo much. she was super bummed when she finished it. Once i showed her the basic comcept- she did it all on her own.... well, every once and a while she asked for a refresher on how to write a letter.



so when i found this message decoder in a lis of activity links, i printed it off to do with her. she surprised me again by wanting to do it all her own. so, i gave her some beans and showed her how to use them to help you add....

she didnt know, care, or realize that she was doing math!!jared came in and said, "is she doing addition?" i replied, "no! shes decoding a secret message!" lol


liv joined in, of course....


then came the pie!


crust-
~2c.almonds,
~drizzle raw agave, honey or medjool dates.....
~1/4 c. coconut oil
in the food processor until smooth & creamy enough to spread.
spread into springform pan. put in freezer.

banana layer- inspired by this.
slice and freeze 5 bananas only until its really hard to put a fork into, but still possible ;)
put them into food processor and process until creamy. i added about 3 T of hemp milk to speed it up- but that it not necessary.
spread on top of crust and place back in freezer to firm up.

chocolate layer- inspired by this.
1 can of full fat organic coconut milk- refridgerated to thicken.
1/4 c. cocoa powder
splash vanilla
raw agave to desired sweetness
place in mixing bowl and whip until fluffy and delicious.
spread on top of banana layer and freeze for 1/2 hour-1hr then move to fridge.


EAT!
