Taking a trip with kids to the forest is always an adventure. As a family, we love to explore the outdoors and learn new things about nature. On our recent trip, we decided to go foraging for nettles to make some delicious nettle tea. Not only was it a fun activity for the kids, but it was also a great opportunity to teach them about the benefits of nettle tea. Nettle tea has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for various health conditions. It is packed with vitamins and minerals, including iron, calcium, magnesium, and vitamins A and C. Drinking nettle tea can help boost the immune system, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy skin and hair. To make nettle tea, you need to gather fresh nettles. Nettles are easy to find in the forest, and they grow abundantly in damp and shaded areas. However, you need to be careful when harvesting them, as they have stinging hairs that can cause skin irritation. It's best to wear gloves and long-sleeved shirts to pro

  Klasická česká pohádka o Zlatovlásce (A classical Czech folk tale about Raspunzel) Author:  Karel Jaromír Erben Zlatovlaska Byl jeden král, a byl tak rozumný, že i všem živočichům rozuměl, co si povídali,. A poslouchejte, jak se tomu naučil. Přišla k němu jednou nějaká stará babička, přinesla mu v košíku hada a povídá, aby si ho dal ustrojit: když ho sní, že bude všemu rozumět, co které zvíře v povětří, na zemi i ve vodě mluví. Tomu králi se to líbilo, že bude umět, co nikdo neumí, dobře babičce zaplatil a hned poručil sloužícímu, aby mu, tu rybu k obědu připravil: „Ale,“ prý, „ať jí ani na jazyk nevezmeš, sic mi to svou hlavou zaplatíš! “ Jiříkovi, tomu sloužícímu, bylo divné, proč mu to král tak tuze zapověděl. „Jak živ jsem takové ryby neviděl,“ povídá sobě sám, „vypadá zrovna tak jako had! a jaký by to byl kuchař, aby ani neokusil, co strojí ? “ Když to bylo upečeno, vzal kouštíček na jaz^k a pochutnával. V tom slyší kolem uší něco bzučet: „Nám taky něco! nám taky něco!“ Jiřík se

 This is a traditional desert we usually make at least every 2-3 weeks, it is tasty and lasts well the next day, in case I bake at least 2 batches, or trays. The pie is made in gluten free option, but replacing the flour can bring similar results. Baking gluten free is a necessity in our family. I use Schar Mix Universal for mainkg this and it was ready in under 1 hour, but I did let it sit 30 min before powdering and slicing it in large squares, like we love it. Link to video how we make this pie at home Ingredients: 450 g Schar Universal Mix flour 250 g butter at room temp 2 eggs a pinch of salt some gf baking powder (aprx. 6g) You can make the dough sweet or not, depends - both ways it will be tasty. In case of no sugar I suggest using more apples for the filling. But if you prefer sweeter, here our tested options: 120 g white powder sugar plus 10g for sprinkling at the end (we sometimes substitute sugar for honey or dates cream as they are more health options). This 120g is the mi

I realised that one important detail that we never mentioned here but we do regularly are our outdoor walks and hikes. There is no better time for us to spend than going outdoors. The one thing I do regularly as physical movement are the daily walks. At the weekend we take longer hikes and make it interesting by adding stops, nature games, small treasure hunts, just play hide and seek or admire the plants and nature in general. What better way to spend the time. SO, the idea came to keep the journal of our hikes here also, as sometimes I need to remember some routes and having them saved in one place would be nice, rather than on my files which are not well kept in one place organised. Trying to put together the details and information is a good idea also because many families with children usually love spending times outdoors. As foreigners here, finding information about various routes and hikes really takes some time, I spend a few 1-2h every week to plan our next hike. It might see
