What we got our 4 kids for Christmas 2019!


Hey Guys!

So Christmas is the day after tomorrow (as I am writing this), so this post is all about what we got the kids for Christmas!

Our kids are 14, 13, 11 and 9 so they are not interested in toys as such. We also just came back from a 2 week holiday so that was the main family present. So we only got the kids 2 gifts each from us. They do get more from grandparents and friends so I don't feel bad for not getting them a lot of things.

I'll start with a family gift. We wanted to get something that will get not only the kids outside playing, but us parents as well. So this set was perfect!


Lyss's gifts include a new phone and a bullet journal with a couple of pens that were recommended.
She has not been having a great time with her current phone (her Dad's old one) so we decided to spend up and get her a decent new phone. This Oppo AX5S is the one we chose because it ticked all the boxes and the price was pretty good. It is also the same phone TJ got for her birthday so I know where to buy the cases from. She has also been asking for a bullet journal for next year and she is a very artistic young lady so I can't wait to see what she comes up with!

TJ loves fairies and growing things so this fairy light garden from Big W is perfect!
She has also been interested in getting out more and being more active so this scooter was what we got. She loves to ride her bike but sometimes it can be a bit much for her (yay for low muscle tone!)

Knox has also been loving riding his bike lately so we decided to get him a scooter as well. He loves attempting tricks on his bike (not really something we want him to do on the bike - easier to get hurt), so this Mambo stunt scooter was what we went with. He has also been asking for a drone for Christmas. His father has one that Knox loves to play with so we thought we would get him his own (and pray he doesn't sink it in the pool like the one we got a few years ago). This is the one we found in Target so we grabbed that one!

BB is the last of the kiddos and another one that needed a scooter. We found this one in Target and grabbed it while we could! She has been wanting the big gold Rainbowcorn for a while so she is going to go crazy when she finds out there is one waiting for her under the tree! Big W had this one on special this week.

The kids ended up LOVING all their presents! And the look on BB's face when she opened the gold Rainbowcorn was priceless!

We pray you had a very Merry Christmas!

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 ...

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...
