LEGO Norwegian flag

Monday, May 2, 2016 4 Comments

Check out this fun way to learn flags of different countries – today it’s a DIY LEGO Norwegian Flag!

This month’s Virtual Book Club for kids is Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs by Mo Willems.  It’s a super funny story, a hilarious take on the fairy-tale classic Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  From the inside cover…

Once upon a time, there were three hungry Dinosaurs: Papa Dinosaur, Mama Dinosaur . . . and a Dinosaur who happened to be visiting from Norway.

One day—for no particular reason—they decided to tidy up their house, make the beds, and prepare pudding of varying temperatures. And then—for no particular reason—they decided to go . . . someplace else. They were definitely not setting a trap for some succulent, unsupervised little girl.





Definitely not!

ha-ha you gotta love that long lost dino friend visiting from Norway.  And that to-do list on the dinos’ fridge — pudding, chairs, bed, EAT, ha-ha!

Today, with this project we’re touching on colors, shapes, & geography!  We decided to visit Norway at home & created this fun DIY Lego Norwegian Flag to represent the country in a fun way.  Plus, we’ve already started constructing more flags as we work our way around the world!

Fun fact #324

Norwegians read more than any other population in the world, spending an average of 500 kroner (~ US$76) a year per capita on books. More than 2,000 book titles are published annually in Norway. (Facts about Norway: 1990-1991. 1991. Oslo, Norway: Schibsted.)

I’m guessing my bookshelves were not calculated in this survey.

Car doodles in Procreate while waiting for V in ba Car doodles in Procreate while waiting for V in ballet tonight. 

As a creative, I often forget to take the time to just intentionally sit and draw, just to draw, with no clear path in mind.  To let the pen lead me in a direction. 

I don’t know who she is… she was just in my head ✍🏻🌼🌸
{V said she looks like if Frida had a daughter} 🤔😆🤷🏼‍♀️

It felt good tho - really really good - to just draw.

✔️Me Time Goal: be more intentional with loose, process based, no rules, creative time.

Speaking of yummy breakfast. Let’s forget the Speaking of yummy breakfast. 

Let’s forget the kiddos & their fruit platter for a moment shall we 😉

This is my EVERYDAY breakfast - my strawberry chocolate protein shake! 

🍓🍫After working on several protein shake concoctions for the past year… trying to find the best tasting/best macro ratio/least calorie one for me - this is it. I have this every morning after my workout… literally every morning. I will also make it with the Afterburn vanilla plant based (the whey based one is too much for my stomach) protein powder too, but I prefer the chocolate. 

(swipe for ingredients/macro breakdown)

Now, protein shakes… yeah I know, ewwww, right?! Noooooo!  Guys, before I started at Burn, almost a year ago, the last protein shake I had was over 20 years ago (when I was fitness crazed twenty something) - I HATED protein shakes.  They were sooooo gross that I used to hold my nose to drink them quickly… they were nasty. #nojoke #iheldmynose

Friends, protein powder has come a looooonnnnng way in 20 years!  Now I don’t know about other protein powders out there, I looked around a little, but I couldn’t find anything comparable to the calorie/macro ratio that Afterburn has.  #notanad #myhonesttogoodnessopinion
Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗 I love doing little Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗

I love doing little boards like this for the kids meals - you get the most bang for your buck. Plus, it looks more fancy & complicated than it really is - it’s really just fruit placed on a plate with yogurt & waffles. 

They each get their own board. #becausesiblings #noexplanationneeded 

I only got a pic of one plate because T started devouring it before I could snap a pic 😆

Their boards today have:
🍓🫐 🍌
strawberries
raspberries 
blueberries 
bananas
satsuma mandarins
clementines
blackberries
blood oranges
yogurt
blueberry waffles 

I give them a fork and a spoon - the yogurt can be used for dipping or just eaten as yogurt.
