The child, the parent and the artist

Many children do not get the concept that their home is their primary place of work. They have the opportunity to make it grandiose through their art, their craftiness, the full expression of their boredom.

The three boys in my house complain.

A: Why can't I play on the computer?
M: Baba bobo bibi, Can I have an ice-cream?
I: Why don't you have a TV? 

Marle: Outside Boys! A, can you please paint this pallet? M, can you please fill those pots with stones? I, can you please fill those pot with soil and plants?

Here it is, a beautiful flower pots holder. 

Many parents forget that their children are a tool to be sharpened. The home is the workshop/stage for transformation. Be the artist, direct them!

Get crafting!

Missminimalist , Thank you

I was hooked to missminimalist blogs in the past four days, reading approximately 16 pages of individuals testimonies on how they started and enjoyed their minimalist journey. It opened my eyes on the endless minimalist lifestyles that any of us can implement. I admire the traveller, the spiritualist, the true materialist (as opposed to consumerist), the mindful, the artist, the mum, the dad, the designer who with intention choose to keep the things that add value to his/her life and get rid of the frivolous. Beyond just getting rid of things, there is not participating to our current wasteful society, it is recognising that we are all equal regardless of what we own and finally it is embracing freedom. It is why I love it. I encourage you to have a read/rid, I hope it will inspire you:  http://www.missminimalist.com/

One less journey by car, one more day in public transport, Firming those legs more often on a bike, walking to the corner shop, joining a carsharing scheme or a car club carclub.
