Weekly Grocery Haul and Meal Plan

Hey Everyone!

I thought I would change it up a bit with the meal plans and add in a grocery haul!

This is not quite a weeks worth of meals and groceries, but it is enough to get us through (with some snacks for mumma!). 
Here is an overview of what I bought:

I did buy a few things for snacks that I don't normally purchase, and there are ingredients required for 3 dinners. The dinners we are having this week are (it is already Tuesday, so these will be for Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday), Spaghetti Bolognese, Savoury Mince and Chicken Tonight and Rice. Tonight's dinner is Mac and Beef with Garlic Bread and veg. 

The fruits I bought today are bananas (2 bunches), 3 punnets of strawberries, a bag of pink lady apples, and 3 avocados. 

The items for snacks and school lunches are: 
Mini Pretzels
Baked Twists (Rasberry and Blueberry)
Cruskits
Vanilla Yoghurt
Honey Ham
Cheesy Peelers
Twiggy Sticks

Breakfast items:
Milo Cereal
Quick Cooking Oats

We do have other options for breakfast i.e. yoghurt, pancakes, weetbix, and we already had these at home.


Dinner items were:
Pasta (we were actually out of pasta! This never happens :)
Peas
Rice
Chicken breasts
Carrots
Garlic Bread
Mince (2kgs)
Chicken Tonight Sauce x2
Spag bol sauce
Tomato Paste
2 Frozen Meals (my hubby works odd hours so when he gets home at 3am he can eat)

I also picked up 2 packets of Red Rock Deli chips, a Crunchie Bar (My treat!), salt, Garlic powder and chicken salt.

I went to Coles and the total was a little over $160.

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

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!
