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 ...

Day in the life

Hey Everyone! As a busy mum of 4, I am pretty much on the go all day. So I just thought, maybe, I would share what one day is like for me. Before I get out of bed in the morning, I like to read one chapter in Proverbs. Proverbs is such a good way of making sure I am reading God's Word daily because it has 31 chapters - a chapter for each day of the month. This way, while I am going through my morning routine, I have something godly running through my brain instead of the chaos of whatever I have on that day.  Next up is coffee... after making sure my teenage son is up and getting ready for the day. I am super lucky because my Mum also lives with us and she gets up a little bit before me and has my coffee ready and waiting for me! While I drink my coffee, the news is generally on in the background. Because my kids are all older, pretty much all I have to do is make sure they are waking up when they are supposed to. Although, one of my children needs a bit more support in getting rea...

My Top 10 Cookbooks!

Hey Guys! You all know I am a mumma of a large family, so I kinda have to have a few favourite cookbooks, right? I do have quite a few cookbooks and websites that I pull from when I am meal planning, particularly when I get stuck with making the same meals over and over (it happens... I am far from perfect guys...).  Some of these are for thermomix recipes specifically, (my goal for the year is to use my thermomix more) while others are just general cookbooks. So lets get into it! 1. Thermomix Every Day Cookbook. This is the cookbook you get with your Thermomix and it has basic recipes and hints and tips to get used to your thermomix. My mum's favourite recipe in this is the custard.  2. Mamabake Cookbook. This is the cookbook I reach for when I have a lot of busy days where I will not have time to cook. There is a lot of slowcooker dump recipes in there that my family love and don't break the budget. 3. Once a Month Cooking by the Stay at Home...
