Let me explain. My husband will now be known as Mr Whippy or Mr Froth, depending on how much he whips things up!You can probably guess why. On the rare occasion he is at breakfast, he whips everything into a frenzy. Maybe just because he’s there. It’s some kind of male territorial instinct. To show…
A bit of a worry…
My husband, Mr Whippy (I’ll explain later) says I have become a bit of a worrier. I’ve always got to be worrying about something – either the children aren’t eating properly, or look a bit flushed, or are having alot of headaches, or it’s me, I’m not sleeping enough.To be fair, there are a lot…
Another dilemma – lunchbox and packed tea all in one day
The latest dilemma for us parents is not just in providing a healthy lunchbox, we now have to provide a packed tea!! Last week school activities reached an all time peak for Tuna. Not only does she play netball, sing in the choir, play in the orchestra and run for cross country, she was selected…
A new low waste lunch challenge!
My youngest, King Julien went on a school trip this week, a bit of nature detecting, which I am all in favour of. (Not sure if it is a bit too early in the season for bug hunting, might not be many bugs about yet in March, but hey! a good idea nonetheless and good…
What a welcome sight!
Well I never!I was at the supermarket the other day – “Oh no!” you groan, “not again!”I was sauntering up to the entrance, contemplating whether to take the trolley or grab a basket, and thinking at the same time “I can’t believe I am food shopping again already. Seems like only yesterday I was here….
Success! The kids love them!
As luck would have it all three of my brood love the yoghurt covered raisins! Yep! even King Julien, the fussy one. So I cannot understand the sporty shopper’s reaction of disappointment when she thought she might be taking home that rogue bag… Some people never cease to amaze me! “Nothing queerer than folk!” My…
Crazy run-in in the supermarket!
The Accidental Shopper: Well, looks like Monday has now become supermarket-sweep day. As you may now be aware, I really don’t like spending a lot of time in supermarkets. I always go equipped with a shopping list to (a ) cut down on wasted time, and (b) stop myself going off-piste to buy something I…
Oops! What a muddle!
I thought I was onto a bit of a roll this week. Second week into the term, food is in the cupboards. Husband is away. (That always makes for a certain level of calm in the house.) We were all ready to leave the house at 830am, lunchboxes all prepared and ready to go. There…
Monday Morning – good start to the week!
With three lunchboxes to do, it is never a dull moment! Generally I would say the house is fairly organised until about 810am. (Maybe my husband would argue on that point!) But generally everyone is busy munching, so things are pretty quiet. Then once breakfasts are coming to an end, and I need to press…
I’ve got that Friday feeling!
Phew! It’s Friday and I have just about got through the first week back at school! The sun was trying to peep through the clouds, and spring felt definitely as if it was on its way! A really mild day it turned out to be too. I checked the calendar to be sure I had…
