POP QUIZ When is the only time in your life when you're thrust into an environment where the only thing you may have in common with your peers is your age? Think about it, every other situation is from shared passion, shared responsibility, shared goals. We could argue that school does this. But the point is, when you are spending 40% or more of your day at school it's pretty significant. Working hard to align with a group you may have nothing in common with. That's a lot of pressure for some.

Have the most exciting news coming to Queenstown this week from @Bitcoin Basin. NZ Really looking forward to sharing it with everyone, watch this space! Special thanks to @arajaymedia and @sophiepiearcey for capturing my joy!

It’s often easier and quicker for me to just do things myself. But how much can children learn when we invite them into everyday life? Cooking teaches so much more than making food. It involves: • Reading and following instructions • Measuring and basic maths • Planning and sequencing • Fine motor and hand development • Patience and time management Studies show children who help with everyday tasks build confidence, independence and problem-solving skills from a young age. And the added bonus? Connection. Conversation. Bonding. The little moments they’ll remember. Sometimes learning doesn’t look like desks and worksheets. Sometimes it looks like tiny hands helping in the kitchen. Practice patience by letting them join in.

As a homeschool mum, we talk about all sorts of things. A friend asked me what I teach the kids about money. We talk about how money is really just a trade for someone’s time, work or energy. We talk about why some things are worth more than others and how things that are rare or hard to make are usually more valuable. Same too for the value they give to the world. If it's not a scarce skill set or talent, a product that people want then it's not as valuable. In a world where money can be printed so easily, I think it’s important for kids to understand that. Once you see value over price you build your personal stock and spend your time and energy on things that give back to you. Whether that is time, energy or joy.

Teaching my children about the most complex topics thanks to @npub1ujhr...z495 I'm not a natural reader, but i'm persevering to be a good example to my little ones. So glad that there are resources out there that we can share as a family. Open up the conversations about real topics and have fun while you're doing it!

I pulled my son out of school - Four months months on and the biggest lesson I've learnt so far is: The hardest part was just starting. I did the research, I spent the time learning and working out if it was the right thing for our family. But, like anything else the execution was the hardest part. Don't let noise muffle your gut, your inner voice. Live life of your terms.

GM Life is beautiful 🙏🏻☀️ @Bitcoin Basin. NZ

The best thing about the Bitcoin space for me is the community. An abundant mindset attracts good people to you. In a distracted, disconnected world seek out people who lift you higher. Strong communities are invested in building brighter futures together. 🧡 @Bitcoin Basin. NZ @Bitcoin Journey @npub1eltp...mk2v

I’m so excited to be speaking at @BTC Prague this year. Prague is quickly becoming the Bitcoin capital of the world. I'll be taking the story of New Zealand’s first Bitcoin circular economy global showing what’s possible when Bitcoin is actually used, not just held. Queenstown is gaining recognition through our community, @Bitcoin Basin. NZ and I’m excited to share the why and the how behind it. If you’re coming, I’d love to connect 🧡

If you can't see the patterns from the Covid play out repeating you have to be blind. Everything is playing out just as intended. Decentralised currency is more important than ever. As our freedoms are forcibly taken from us (AGAIN) we start to appreciate them a whole lot more. Stand tall, love your neighbour, stack #bitcoin . 🙏🏻

You can keep your margarine. I just make a chocolate cake using Beef Tallow. Best cake I've ever made.

Cream and Coke are both rated 0.5 stars on the NZ health rating. The world is broken.
