<div>Leah is a well known photographer <strong><a href="http://www.leahkua.com/blog/" target="_blank">see her website</a></strong> , and sent in these gorgeous photo&#8217;s of her daughter for our <strong><a href="http://latoriana.com.au/blog/category/kool-kidz/" target="_blank">KooL KidZ section</a></strong></div>

<div>My daughters name is Malia and she&#8217;s 5 years old. She&#8217;s a big sister, a kindergartener, an artist and a practicing &#8216;balleray&#8217; dancer <img src='http://latoriana.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  (I refuse to correct her pronunciation of the word ballet because it&#8217;s just to cute).</div>
<div>I really dislike buying packaged biscuits and snacks from the supermarket, but now with my eldest is in Kindergarten the need for small snacks to fill lunch boxes are more important than ever.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>Whilst I don&#8217;t always get the chance to make them myself and do occasionally succumb to buying from the store <strong>*gasp*</strong> I do like to make things myself as often as I can.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div> A while ago I found a recipe that had everything I could possible want.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>Easy to make, fast, kid and allergy friendly (butter-less, flour-less, egg-less and potentially sugar-less) and super healthy. We like to mix in a whole range of other &#8216;bits&#8217; rather than just the chocolate.</div>
<div>.</div>
<div>Dried cranberries are a favourite! The web site I found this recipe is full of incredible recipes like this one (although not all are quite so easy) but it has become a much loved and referred to place in my house. </div>
<div>.</div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Nikki&#8217;s Healthy Cookie Recipe</h2>
<p style="line-height: 17.4pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 5pt 11.25pt;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Helvetica;">3 large, ripe bananas, well mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)</span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Helvetica;"><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">1 teaspoon vanilla extract</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">1/4 cup coconut oil, barely warm &#8211; so it isn&#8217;t solid (or alternately, olive oil)</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">2 cups rolled oats</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">2/3 cup almond meal</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">1/3 cup coconut, finely shredded &amp; unsweetened</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">1/2 teaspoon cinnamon</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">1 teaspoon baking powder</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">6 &#8211; 7 ounces chocolate chips or dark chocolate bar chopped</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 15pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 5pt 11.25pt;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Helvetica;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees, racks in the top third.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 15pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 5pt 11.25pt;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Helvetica;">In a large bowl combine the bananas, vanilla extract, and coconut oil. Set aside. In another bowl whisk together the oats, almond meal, shredded coconut, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks/chips.The dough is a bit looser than a standard cookie dough, don&#8217;t worry about it. Drop dollops of the dough, each about 2 teaspoons in size, an inch apart, onto a parchment (or Silpat) lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 &#8211; 14 minutes. </span></span></p>

<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #666699;">Over Easter we decided to make sock puppets (put all the odd socks to good use and those annoying buttons that come with every outfit).  We had so many socks we basically had a free for all &#8211; we stuck buttons, wool, flowers, leaves, shells, glittery bits, paint and created a new &#8220;family.&#8221;  It was easy, cheap, fun, included both kids and got us outside hunting for suitable items and probably is an oldie but a goodie. <strong>Fun!</strong></span></span></div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone" title="sock puppet project" src="http://latoriana.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/skye-and-sock-puppet-project.jpg" alt="" width="538" height="403" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #666699;">She has had a real buzz from being photographed and her Tea Princess outfit is divine &#8211; we chose the Skinny leg pants which are the first size for age pants she has ever fitted with her petite frame and will be warm for winter, the gorgeous soft top long sleeve top in ivory and a beautiful beanie.  All have already been worn in various combinations with other Tea Princess and other things we have bought and they all look fantastic, wash beautifully and people really notice.  Winning the competition enabled me to buy my son a Britt jacket and I keep eyeing off the dresses.  We are just so practical though in our house, so its nice to be able to be pretty but practical at the same time which is what I love about this seasons Tea Princess and our chosen outfit. As you can see its also very flexible!</span></p>

</span></span></span><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /><strong>Me (Photographer)</strong> Skye was the lucky recipient of the Tea Princess promo we had,  She received a complete Winter 2010 outfit, has been photographed last week for the La Toriana website and catalogue shots,  and next week will be part of a professional photo session for a glossy magazine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Sky was an absolute dream to photograph.  A friend told me about this old ruins  (thanks Lisa) and I knew that would be the place to get some photo&#8217;s with Skye. <strong><em>It was!!</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Sky is so beautiful with a gorgeous disposition and friendly nature.  Many of the shots she suggested for me (so thanks Skye, we were a great team!!!)  All the Tea Princess collection suited her well but I really like the knitted wear, pink cape and white leggings with skirt!  So precious!  Kym was a great stylist (though she probably didn&#8217;t even know she was doing such a beautiful job!)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">See the full photo shoot I had with Skye and the gorgeous images in Tea Princess on this BLOG next week.  Keep watching</p>

<p>Oh what a gorgeous photo!!!   The ever so gorgeous Maya recently had a birthday and what a whole lot of fun it looks!!  Wow… what inspiring, fun and memorable day!  Nathan and Kate (from teaandjam photography) did a wonderful job creating this at home for their little girl… you can too</p>
<p>Kate tells us all about it:</p>
<div><span style="color: #333399;"><em>We decided to go with a scientist party theme, we thought that there would be heaps of cool stuff to do to entertain the kids and to stop them from destroying the house and each other.  <span style="color: #333399;">We had the party at home. Even though I had promised myself to never do that again after the previous year’s do.</span></em></span></div>
<p> <span style="color: #333399;"><em>But we found that if you kept the kids entertained and involved, damage to your house and mind is kept to a minimum.</em>   </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333399;"><img src="http://www.latoriana.com.au/images/mad%20scientist%202.jpg" alt="" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333399;"><em>I somehow managed to talk Nathan (Dad) into dressing up as the Mad Scientist and he showed the kids lots of different scientific experiments using everyday things.  </em> </span></p>
<p> <em><span style="color: #333399;">We did get some dried ice for the grand finale though. Well worth it, just to see the looks on the kids faces!</span></em></p>
<div><em></em></div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.latoriana.com.au/images/mad%20scientist%203.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="245" /></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #333399;">We made our own food. I tried to make the food look scientific. It was perfect timing that Donna Hay bought out a party edition with a scientist party at the same time as Maya’s do.</span></em></p>
<div><span style="color: #333399;"><em>So I found plenty of inspiration there! Petrie dish fairy bread was a hit! Amazing what a bit of green food dye in the butter can do.  <span style="color: #333399;">I made up the invitations myself and Maya coloured them in for that personal touch. They said the kids were invited to an “Experimentation Celebration”. Totally corny!</span></em></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333399;"> </p>
<div><em>As far as decorations go, I found a link to a site that had images of a 1960s kids science encyclopedia I printed those out and stuck them on the walls. </em></div>
<div><em>I also found heaps of old Vegemite jars from the op shop and filled them with coloured water and a plastic animal, they were take home specimens.</em></div>
<div><em><br />
</em></div>
<div><em>I had hanging on the coat rack when the kids rocked up, their own little white shirt (with name tag) and a pair of kids sized groucho glasses.</em></div>
<div><span style="color: #333399;"><span style="color: #333399;"><span style="color: #333399;"><span style="color: #333399;">T<em>hey all looked too cute in their mad scientist get up.</em></span></span></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333399;"><span style="color: #333399;"><span style="color: #333399;"><span style="color: #333399;"><em></em></span></span></span></span></div>

<p>Evelyn’s birthday party;  (Written by Evelyn&#8217;s mums, Carol)</p>
<p>I just love spoiling my children when their birthdays come around. This was the first party we have had for my three year old daughter, Evelyn, apart from small family gatherings. Her birthday is so close to Christmas and in previous years we have been travelling or simply too rushed. She was very much aware of the whole birthday party concept this year after attending her brother’s party and a few others.</p>
<p>“I want a pink party Mummy, with a princes castle and a princess cake and singing and dancing and face painting”, she announced after attending her friend Eliza’s party.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a id="myphotolink" href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30845221&amp;id=1073768878"><img id="myphoto" class="aligncenter" src="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs191.snc3/19859_1269336608213_1073768878_30845220_1045213_n.jpg" alt="" width="368" height="515" /></a></p>
<p>Well, I managed all of that, except the face painting. I did buy some face paints and even practiced painting her face in the weeks leading up to her party, but simply forgot about it on the day. Never mind. We’ll keep that in reserve for next year.</p>
<p>I was really pleased at how everything came together. I collected things in the months leading up to the party; table cloth, napkins, pink loot bags, party hats, plastic plates and cups and the pink fluffy tiara came from the $2.00 store. I also bought some crepe paper rolls which we used to make the streamers which hung from our outdoor canopy. They only cost about $1.30 per roll, but the pink and white streamers blowing gently in the breeze really added a magical touch to our back yard party.</p>

<p>I love decorating cakes and this one was no exception. It didn’t turn out exactly as planned. I usually use Madeira cake, but this time opted for mud cakes from Woolworths. Unfortunately the cakes were so soft and moist they sank a little with the weight of the top tier so my nice straight sides were a little sloped the day after decorating. Oh well, I’ll know for next time. It still looked pretty good and it tasted fantastic.</p>
<div class="GBThreadMessageRow_Image">I began by slicing the top off the cakes and sandwiching together then covering with butter icing. I then used pre-made icing (available from cake decorating stores or even from the supermarket), which I coloured with ‘Wilton’ icing colours and rolled out. The icing was then draped over the cakes and smoothed out. I have an icing smoother which helps to achieve a lovely, smooth, flat surface. A small flower cutter was used to make the flower shapes and a tiny circle cutter was used for the flower centres. I also sprinkled some ‘disco dust’, an edible glitter available from good cake decorating stores on top of the cake to make is shimmer and sparkle. The cake was finished off with a plastic tiara and some pink ribbon.</div>
<div class="GBThreadMessageRow_Image" style="text-align: center;"><a id="myphotolink" href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30844762&amp;id=1073768878"><img id="myphoto" class="aligncenter" src="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs191.snc3/19859_1269097162227_1073768878_30844761_533620_n.jpg" alt="" width="365" height="516" /></a></div>
<div class="GBThreadMessageRow_Image" style="text-align: center;"><a id="myphotolink" href="http://latoriana.com.au/photo.php?pid=30844764&amp;id=1073768878"></a></div>
<div class="GBThreadMessageRow_Main">
<div class="GBThreadMessageRow_Body">
<p>I also made cupcakes and decorated these with pink butter icing. The tiny flowers were made with excess icing flowers from the cake. They were also sprinkled with disco dust. I absolutely love the wrappers I used. They are from my friends at the <strong><a href="http://thecupcakewrappercompany.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Cupcake Wrapper Co</a></strong>. Of course, they have other colours available but I simply had to have pink for Evelyn’s party.</p>
<p>Other yummy treats included marshmallow teacups which are so incredibly easy to make, pink fairy bread, pink fudge, pink musk sticks, watermelon, grapes, strawberries, mini marshmallows and some pink wafer biscuits. To make the teacups you simply need tic-toc biscuits, pink and white marshmallows, some chocolate freckles and some lifesavers for the handles. Use an icing glue, sugar syrup or icing to join all the pieces together. Easy peasy! I also served pink cordial, fruit juice and water. Hint: I found it difficult to find lifesavers.</p>
<p>We entertained the children with song and dance, with party games like pass the parcel, musical squares (I used coloured squares of fabric and laid them out on the lawn) and sack races. We also had a craft activity, a dress-up box and free play time.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>The craft activity was very simple. I bought some wooden photo frames from Ikea and, with Evelyn’s help we painted them in pretty pastel colours before the party. The children then decorated them with stickers, decals and glitter.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a id="myphotolink" href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30844767&amp;id=1073768878"><img id="myphoto" src="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs171.snc3/19859_1269097362232_1073768878_30844766_2017669_n.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>The loot bags were very special. Rather than giving the children bags of lollies, I made polymer mugs with their own custom design and name. This took me ages! I sat up late on a few nights creating these. I am lucky to have the equipment necessary for making the mugs from my business,<a href="http://www.littlecritters.com.au/" target="_blank"> <strong>“Little Critters”.</strong></a> The mugs will last for many years and are a great keepsake. I used matching designs for the stickers on the pink goodie bags. Also included in the loot bags were a Freddo Frog, a Chuppa Chup and a crazy, bendy straw.</p>
<p>Excessive? Absolutely! But I did have lots of fun creating all these treasures and there were lots of happy, smiling faces at the party.</p>
<p>Shame about the face painting but I’ll try to remember for next year.</p>
<p>Hint: Prepare as much as you can ahead of time so you can enjoy the party with your child. Small children will often be overwhelmed with all of the activity and excitement on the day so don&#8217;t stress if they need time away from the excitement or if things don&#8217;t go exactly according to plan. Remember, parties are supposed to be fun.</p>

<div><span lang="EN-AU">I have lots of craft ideas that we have been doing for Christmas.</span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-AU">one Mitchell even thought of himself&#8230;. he had some green playdough and rolled it into a ball and started collecting things to decorate it with and said it would be a good christmas tree decoration.</span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-AU"> </span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-AU">I was </span><span lang="EN-AU">so impressed that he thought of it himself! </span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-AU">He was collecting food crumbs off the floor to decorate it with though&#8230; so i got him some glitter which looks much better! we then stuck a paper clip in and let them dry out before hanging on the tree. </span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-AU">W</span><span lang="EN-AU">e also bought plain balls from the supermarket and mitch decorated them with his favourite stickers.</span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-AU">Another thing we did, was that we had an outline of a christmas tree drawn on a bit of paper. I used glue to make a pattern on it and he sprinkled glitter of a single colour on. I then shook the excess glitter off and did some more glueing, he did more glitter in a different colour and we repeated this until we had the tree all coloured. </span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-AU">(I&#8217;ll email a photo of this too.) we also made our own christmas cards simply by sticking photos onto folded cardboard. The boys drew inside.</span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-AU">.</span></div>
<div><span lang="EN-AU">Great Tips.. and thanks for sharing Shellie.  Can&#8217;t wait to see the pics of your tree!</span></div>

<div> </div>
<div><span lang="EN-AU">the kids have a fave recipe it is as follows</span></div>
<p> </p>
<h1>Choc Chip Bikkies</h1>
<p>100gm melted butter</p>
<p>1/4 cup sugar</p>
<p>1/2 tin condensed milk</p>
<p>1 1/4 cup flour</p>
<p>1 tsp baking powder</p>
<p>1 pkt chocolate chips</p>
<p>mix butter and sugar&#8230;.. add condensed milk and chocolate chips (if using melted butter choc chips will melt and turn the mix a great brony colour!) Put in baking powder and flour and combine well&#8230;&#8230;.. roll into small balls place on greased tray and press with fork &#8230;..bake in a 150 degree c for 8-10 minutes approx</p>
<p>I like to take them out while they are still doughy and scrape carefully onto a wire rack (this makes the bikkies soft and chewy!) I sometimes double the quantities in the mix and it makes about 50 little cookies that are perfect for school lunchboxes&#8230;.</p>
<p>THANK heaps CINDY.  this is awesom!!!  please contact me and we will give you a $10 voucher!!!</p>
<p>This is so easy and something he kids can help with too!  Will definately be trying this one out in the next school holidays!!</p>

<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "><br />
 <br />
500g of peeled washed and cut summer fruit of your choice, we like rasberries, strawberries and mango best. <br />
2 cups of greek style yoghurt<br />
2 tabs of icing sugar, you can replace this with honey if not allergic. <br />
Icy pole containers which you can get from supermarket in the plastic section and from most department stores or bargain shops, some come with plastic sticks and some you can insert your own wooden stick (these ones are far more practical especially with teething kiddies). <br />
 <br />
Combine 1/2 of chopped summer fruit,  all yoghurt and all icing sugar in the food processor and combine until smooth.  Mix through the remaining fruit with a spoon and scoop into icy pole containers.  Freeze until set and EAT!!<br />
 <br />
They are yum, not too sugary and a great summer treat for the hot weather ahead.  </span></div>
