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 ...

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...

June Favourites!

Hey Everyone! There has been a few things I got in June that really get a lot of use and I am really happy with, so I thought I would share! Okay, the first thing I have LOVED is a book called The Essential Life. For those of you who are not familiar with essential oils, this is basically the essential oil bible. There are 6 sections in this book that go through an intro to oils, various ailments and which oils to use for each, what each essential oil is good for, focus areas such as children, nervous system, etc. This book also has recipes, DIY's and blends to make for gardening, pregnancy etc. I have used this book so much this last month, it now lives in the lounge room! Second item is a doTerra essential oil blend called Peace. For those of you that know me, I get very anxious in certain situations, so when I ordered the Peace essential oil and started diffusing it, I ordered the Peace Touch (it is the same oil, just in a roller bottle and diluted with Frac...
