I love this Club Sandwich Wrap recipe, as you can cut the wraps into 2-3cm slices and make into canape size portions. Just pop a cocktail stick in each one to hold in place, and garnish with olives. This recipe is courtesy of Mission Deli Wraps. For more lunch box recipe ideas, do pop over…
Design a Sandwich Weekend Homework
Spike at the weekend had to do his homework. Nothing odd in that. Just that it was a DT – Design Technology project. He had to design a sandwich. In school they had been looking and examining various breads, and foods to put into their sandwich all week! The only criteria for their homework was…
Mr and Mrs Magpie – Two For Joy!
What a turn up for the books! Today two magpies came to visit. The sun had just come out again in the garden this afternoon. I was just experiencing that low feeling mid-afternoon, you know the one when the day is speeding away and the time is ever fast approaching for collecting the kids. That…
Duck and Drake Come to Visit
Mr Whippy had gone for a run thank goodness! and breakfast / the lunchbox rush was coming to an end. Activity was moving to the hall – getting closer to the time of departure. Gathering up our belongings, you can almost hear me say it: “Shoes on, coats on, come on! Grab your bags and…
Not again – forgot the guitar!
Note to self: must get more organised – a noticeboard or some kind of reminder. Can no longer keep all the brood’s activities in my head – guitar, flute, football, netball, swimming, orchestra, choir, piano, let alone my stuff! Am I getting old or forgetful or are they just doing too much? It happened on…
Why Mr Whippy?
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….
