Meal Plan Monday 21/10 - 27/10

Hey Everyone!

Welcome back to Meal Plan Monday!


Most of these meals I have tips on saving time in the kitchen on another post, so keep an eye out for that in the next couple of weeks!

Snacks for the week include:

Popcorn
Yoghurt
Fresh Fruit
Muffins (with sneaky fruit and veg)
Homemade muesli bars

Lunches have been a bit different lately because we have not really been having sandwiches. The kids are really not liking them at the moment so we have moved to having things like mac and cheese, ham and cheese scrolls and leftover dinners. Having lunch boxes like these make it easy to have a variety of things in the lunch boxes. My kiddos tend to not eat a lot during the hot months, instead drinking a lot of water. This is why they only have one small portion of a main meal for lunch, a snack (usually home baked) and a piece of fresh fruit. 
Afternoon tea items are usually something protein packed due to the fact that after school sports have increased this term so they need something a little extra to keep them going. We also have been eating a little later on those days because we are at sports until 6.30pm. 

What are you having at your place this week?

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!
