June Favourites!

Hey Guys!

I have heard of a lot of vloggers that do this Monthly Favourites video, so I thought I would do a bloggers version!

I will show you my favourite items in the areas of: Organisation, Kids, Books, YouTube creators, In the Kitchen, and more!

Let's get right into it, shall we?

I have been loving cooking in my Thermomix this month and one website I have been loving is The Road To Loving My Thermo Mixer. I have gotten so many recipes for lunch box snacks, dinners, soaps and more from this website for a long time. The recipes are quick and easy and are a simple and healthier version of the store-brought varieties. The kids love most of the recipes I have made and even help out with them!


The winner in the Organisation category are these pantry containers! I LOVE these! I keep this one filled with snacks for school lunches and it is so easy for the kids to pull out of the pantry to grab one snack from the front two bins when they make their lunches (We keep Hubby's muesli bars in the 3rd as they have peanuts and we are a nut free school). We have a bigger container as well as a smaller one that we use for baking stuff, packets of noodles, etc. The pantry has stayed organised for longer with these bins so I am one happy mumma!


A book I have been loving this month is not just one book but several, ok most of the books by Francine Rivers. So far this month I have read (and loved) Atonement Child, The Scarlet Thread, Redeeming Love and Leota's Garden. Atonement Child has been the one to make me cry the most so I am declaring that one my favourite out of the four so far! I have been reading these on my iPad iBooks app so they have been a fairly cheap alternative to buying the physical book and it is not too heavy to carry around in my handbag to read while I am waiting in the car after school!


I am one of those people who bites my fingernails if I don't have anything on them. So when I found the Sally Hansen Complete Care 7 in 1 I really hoped it would work. It did! My nails have been growing, they look pretty good with a colour on and it is even a top coat as well!

I have been loving watching the Schmovies YouTube channel (when I get time to watch - more often when I am folding laundry). They are a large family with 7 kiddos, they homeschool and are an inspiration to me and our kids! They are all about working together as a family team (and their dining room table is gorgeous!).

So there are some of the things I have been loving over the month of June!
Hope you liked reading this, as I am hoping to do these every month!

Enjoy!

Organising School Uniforms

Hey Guys! When it comes to storing and sorting the kid's school uniforms, it seems we have FINALLY found what works for us! For those who don't know, we have 4 kiddos and my mum works at the kid's school as well, so her uniforms are also stored with the kid's uniforms.  Right next to my desk in the kid's playroom (pretty much only has Lego in it at the moment) we have a clothes rack. The only things that get put on the rack is school uniforms, shoes, the hair box (this keeps all the brushes, hair ties, head bands, etc. together in one place) and school socks.  So here is an overview of what the uniform rack looks like and then I will talk about the sections. We'll talk about hanging the uniforms first! Each person has their own colour coat hanger to make it easier for them to recognise which uniforms are theirs.  BB has pink. Knox has blue. TJ has purple. Liss has white.  Mum has black.  Yes, they are all mixed up at

5 Quick and Easy Gluten Free School Snacks

Hey Everyone! As some people may know, our youngest daughter has been diagnosed with something called PANDAS syndrome. This means that in order to help her with some of the issues stemming from this syndrome, she has had to eliminate Gluten from her diet. It has taken a lot of trial and error to try and find some gluten free things she likes, but here are some of her favourites to pack in her lunch box for school! 1. Popcorn. We try to just make the air popped popcorn in the mornings, that way it is fresh for the day. But sometimes it is well worth the $3 for the Woolies homebrand popcorn that comes in packets. They also have the sweet and salty flavour that is always a hit in our house. 2. Mini pancake muffin bites. These are super easy to make and don't take long. Our daughter loves the Coles home brand I'm Free From Gluten range, so we just buy the pancake shaker bottle in that brand and pour them into a mini muffin pan. We add things like blueberries, chocolate chips etc to

A little update...

Hey Guys! Just wanted to jump on real quick and let you know what is coming up on the blog! We have our Large Family Laundry Routine coming up next and then a monthly meal plan for May after that. If you are enjoying reading our blog, thank you! My aim is to get at least 2-3 posts out a month at this point as we have a lot of appointments and possibly a surgery for my daughter. We also have a couple of birthdays in May so I might put up a Birthday blog as well! Thank you for being patient with me through this, and I hope you all have a great day! Much Love, Jacqui!
