New Recipe! Meatloaf!

Hey Guys!

I have seen and tried quite a few meatloaf recipes and while they were nice, not everyone in the family was impressed. So I made one of my own. To be sure this was the meatloaf recipe for our family, we tried it out a few times and it works! My whole family loves it and sometimes we make mini meatloaves for the lunch boxes as well!

So here it is!

1kg beef mince

1 egg

1pk french onion soup mix

3 tbls tomato sauce

1 cup quick oats

1 tbls garlic powder

Once you have all of these ingredients, all you have to do is mix them all together!

Bake for 40-45 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees.
My kids love to make these muffin sized so they get their own little meatloaf on their plate.

We serve the meatloaf with plenty of veggies on the side, usually mashed potato (sometimes with some sweet potato mashed with it), peas and carrots.
This recipe also freezes really well so it makes for a great freezer meal to have ready to go!

Hope you like this recipe as much as we do!

Thanks for reading!

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 ...

Our Family Morning Routine

So, since this is the very first blog post, I thought we could start with our regular school term morning routine. Our Morning Routine Our mornings get really busy and tend to go real fast due to the fact that we are a one car family and I have to take my husband to work every day. We are fortunate in that we also live with my mum so I do not have to get all the kids up and bring them with me. So my day starts at 6am, when my alarm goes off and I keep pressing the snooze button until 6:30am mainly due to the fact that I am NOT a morning person. As soon as I do get up it is time to wake up the babies! First up, my 8 year old son. He usually wakes up pretty easily and I don't have to keep going back to get him out of bed. He is also the one who, when he feels helpful, gets the bowls out for breakfast along with the cereal. Next is my 7 year old daughter. She can be a little tough to get up some mornings, but generally speaking she gets up within a few minutes of ...

Our Evening Routine

Hey everyone! So last week was our morning routine, this week is our evening routine! I will go from after school pick up because, like our morning routine, our evenings do tend to go fast as well. So after school, they have a small snack like a few Shapes biccies or some yoghurt or cheese depending on whether they had any dairy snacks in their lunch boxes that day. I do try to cook dinner or at least prep it (chop veggies etc.) before I go get the kids from school to make it easier on us during homework time. The kids have a bit of a run around after they eat to burn some energy off before they get their homework out. We have a fairly big backyard so there is plenty of space for them all to play. A favourite game of theirs lately, is Ninja Warrior. So they use things like the trees and the swing set and the trampoline and most important, their imaginations. After they have had about 15 to 20 minutes outside, they come in, have a drink of water and get their homework done. For...
