// Quiet Living, Quiet Luxuries...

Rustic charm, old meets modern, open spaces, tile textures, letting all the light in... and a time to just be. Currently loving these farmhouse decorating ideas (reclaimed wood cabinetry, above) for every room in the house. Where every day feels like the glorious weekend. »More art and design favourites after the jump... ♫ Happy Sunday!

Easy for You to say my Grade 3s (Times Table Wizards!). :) Right around this time of our school year, after pushing, merging, and delivering our Grade Level Mathematical Strands, it's always fun and rewarding to be able to kick back, easing the pressure, with a variety of cognitive games while stepping boldly into our next grade level curriculum —earlier than they expected. » Our kids love this! Brainable is an exhilarating play of memory skills, spatial sense, logic, and spiraled critical thinking. Answer after the jump...

What a lovely way to greet February! Welcome to tree.fm, where "people around the world recorded the sounds of their forests allowing us to escape into nature and unwind wherever we are, for a few, or more..." I started listening during lunch last week and love the quieter soothing notes: birds, insects, and of course streams.

 

 

// Cherry Almond {Rest Well} Smoothie

Cherries are well-known for helping with restful and deeper sleep with being a natural source of melatonin, the chemical that manages our body's internal clock and regulates sleep. Over the years we've enjoyed them in my Roasted Summer Cherries Ice Cream and also with my dairy-free Cherry-Vanilla Sorbet. With the end of January and February being our coldest time of the year (deep-freeze) experienced, I'm signing us all up for a delicious Winter Cherry Almond {Rest Even Better} Smoothie.

// Sunday Notes: My Winter Playlist

Usually, there's a quote, one quote, that grabs me each month with its added bliss-factor. This month, there were three, 3, in a row, and with heading into our Bell Let's Talk Mental Health Day this week (January 24th), I'm hanging onto all of them. There's so much going on in the world these day, and as such it becomes increasingly important to do our part towards creating a peaceful, civilized, and uplifting environment for ourselves and each other. A few recent reads and loves from around the web. And, I started a Winter Playlist on Spotify. Hope you enjoy it. Happy Sunday! 💕...
