MONDAY'S A COOL DAY!

MONDAY’S A COOL DAY! By pioupioukids

Here comes Monday again, and it’s time for your 5 minutes to yourself! So make yourself a nice smoothie (summer’s on its way after all) and sip it slowly while you read this week’s interview. My favorite smoothie mix: Put in a blender one peeled banana, 3 to 4 pitted dates (medjoul are best), a cup of milk (I like hazelnut best), a teaspoon of vanilla, a tablespoon of honey/maple/agave and a handful of raw cashews. Add some ice if you like it chilled, blend it all until smooth… Yuuuummm.
This week, I am going to talk about myself and my shop, pioupioukids.etsy.com!


- Who are you? Natacha Lee
- Where do you live? Gisborne, New Zealand
- What do you do? I’m full time mothering at home.

The one walking in the garden with the stripy shirt and green pants! Some people call New Zealand "Godzone"... it's true in many ways!
