Tina and I seem to share a love for the same children’s books. Oh, and believe me – my children’s book collection is quite special (and growing).
Christoph Niemann‘s ‘That’s How!‘ have been added to my to-buy list and I cannot wait to see the rest.
Cute, huh? You can buy it here.

It almost feels strange to type more than what’s necessary, so I will just be quiet…
“Stop buying unnecessary things.
Toss half your stuff, learn contentedness.
Reduce half again.
List 4 essential things in your life,
stop doing non-essential things.
Do these essentials first each day, clear distractions
focus on each moment.
Let go of attachment to doing, having more.
Fall in love with less.”

There are a few South African airlines that have been experiencing a few problems with a few of their planes – lately. This started happening a few months ago. You know, they drop from the sky, they slip off the runways and all sorts of interesting things happen. It is just an average daily thing that happens every now and then, you know?
Kulula saw the humor in it. I mean pffft, come on now – who doesn’t? And they felt the need to point a few things out. Laah-vah-lee.

Found this a long, long time ago, but came across it again – and of course, I had to post it – again. Yay!

How to make a cocktail penguin! Made me laugh and I am definitely going to make a few of these. Cuter than cute.
Interesting little fact: When I went to kindergarten I started drawing penguins for some reason. It’s not like anyone showed me how or that I saw pictures of penguins anywhere – it’s just something I started doing one day. It didn’t stop either, my mamas had my penguin pictures all over the place. I was very proud of the one she stuck onto the kitchen cupboard next to the toaster.

Furoshiki - a type of traditional Japanese wrapping cloth that were frequently used to transport clothes, gifts, or other goods. Although possibly dating back as far as the Nara period, the name, meaning “bath spread”, derives from the Edo period practice of using them to bundle clothes while at the sentÅ (public baths;public furo). Before becoming associated with public baths, furoshiki were known as hirazutsumi, or flat folded bundle. Eventually, the furoshiki’s usage extended to serve as a means for merchants to transport their wares or to protect and decorate a gift.
