International Sloth Day - Saturday 20th October. Time to start hugging those sloths and protecting them. Did you know that sloths may be the key to fighting many human diseases, including cancer? The fungi that grows on their fur has been found to be quite important to our health. Another reason to protect these interesting creatures. #sloth #internationalslothday #animalconservation #sloths #rainforest #sustainableliving #sustainability #sustainablefashion

Over the last week rather than composting all of our vegetable scraps, I have been keeping some of it in the freezer.  I then roasted an organic chook and some chicken drumsticks and kept all the bones and leftover meaty bits we didn't want to eat.  Now, this will often go into our compost but I have given it one more life and turned it into  Chicken Stock!  Now we can add extra flavour to our meals throughout the weeks and months without it costing a single cent! Recipe taken from @_sarahwilson_ #simplicious #simpliciousflow #lovefoodhatewaste #stock #chickenstock #homemade #compost #vegetables #parenting #children #sustainableliving #sustainability

If you can imagine it, it must exist. Somewhere.💫⭐️💫⭐️ Four children sent to live with someone they don't know very well. Four children who have experienced the terror of war in London. Four children who differ in so many ways yet come together to save the world from an evil they least expected. 💫⭐️💫⭐️ The lost magician by Piers Torday is an exciting and suspenseful novel which will remind you of stories from Narnia and Wonderland. We meet the children , Evie, Larry, Simon and Patricia at the end of World War Two. 📚 They have survived the horrors of war and their parents need to find a new place to live - so they are sent to live with Professor Diana Kelly in the countryside. 🏠  As we read on, we learn that the professor is doing some very important research about a missing man and his extensive library. No one knows where he has gone or where his library vanished to. 📚 This man, named Nicholas Crowne, had read and collected every book ever written and just like a librarian, he was the key to unlocking all of the stories and sharing them with the world.📚⭐️💫 But now with him missing, the future of the world is unknown, and it is up to the children to find a way to seek him out and understand what he knows before those who choose ignorance take the world he has so lovingly grown.💫⭐️📚 The Lost Magician by Piers Today will sweep you away into a new and amazing world. As you meet the four children you will understand how important libraries are - not only to ignite imagination but to also spark investigations, develop self awareness and inspire thoughts that you never thought possible.💫⭐️⭐️ A wonderful underlying message in this story is the importance of the library and the librarian. Without either of these, the world of stories - told and untold - may cease to exist.  #bookstagram #thelostmagician #pierstorday #magic #children #reading #read #librariansofinstagram #librarians #teachersofinstagram #aussieteachertribe #loveyourlibrary #bookshelf #shelfiesunday
