December Favourites!



Hey Guys!

Wow!
Have we had a massive December or what?!

This December for us as a family has been huge! Early December saw us taking a fantastic and much needed holiday to visit family for a couple of weeks, so that is our number 1 favourite of December!
The kids and us had a blast going to theme parks, taking a ride on my brother's boat on the river, the beach was amazing and generally just hanging out and spending time with family we don't get to see very often.



December favourite number 2 was our doTerra Touch rollers. We took the kids kit on holidays with us and I just put some others in with it that we use regularly.
Here are the rollers we took:
Lavender touch (great for mozzie bites and sleeping babes)
Peppermint touch (headaches don't stand a chance)
Tea Tree touch (in case of sickness)
Adaptiv touch (anxiety sucks, this makes me feel better)
Tamer (kids line - helps with tummy issues)
Calmer (my niece loved putting this on her feet at bedtime)
Stronger (we put this on kiddo's feet before we went out)
Brave (kids on roller coasters for the first time)
Rescuer (long days walking around theme parks)
Steady
Thinker

The last two we never had to use on holidays but we took the whole kit anyway.





December favourite number 3: I only had this for the last few days in December because it was a Christmas present, but I have been LOVING the Cheeki brand stainless steel tumbler. I have made an iced coffee syrup (which has also been a favourite of all the adults in the house) almost every day and the tumbler keeps it cold for hours. I am one of those people who take their time drinking things like iced beverages so this is perfect for me!



December favourite number 4 was my camera! A couple of months ago I got the Canon EOS 3000D which is a base line starter DSLR camera. I have taken some time to do a simple online course on how to get out of Auto mode on the camera and this month I have had some fun taking some snaps and learning how to use the camera in Manual mode.



Here are a couple of pictures taken with my Canon EOS 3000D:



These are my December Favourites!
Let me know what things have been your favourite in the last month of 2019!

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 ...

Back into Monthly Meal Planning!

Hey guys!!! I am so happy to announce that I am getting back into the swing of things in regards to monthly meal planning! I have implemented a tip I have heard a hundred times over and decided to put certain types of meals on certain days. So Sunday for me is Something New Sunday and I am not making any plans for that, just if we find a recipe we want to try out that month, Sunday is the day to do that. I am also keeping Fridays as Noodle and or pasta because that is what works for my family. Our Fridays have become even more busy now that my daughter has gymnastics on from 3.30 - 5.30pm.  So here is the basic lay out for the week. Something new Sunday Mince Monday Chicken Tuesday Pizza Wednesday Fish Thursday Noodles/Pasta Friday Something Simple Saturday So I will continue to share just the menu plan for a week in order to keep Meal Plan Monday going. So this week (Sunday 5th - Saturday 11th) is: Sunday: Pizza (last minute decision to go to c...

Taking a stab at FREEZER COOKING!

Hey Guys! One of my favourite things to watch on YouTube is (obviously) meal planning and freezer cooking videos. I love these videos because they give me inspiration in the kitchen... and without it, I tend to do the same set of meals over and over. I'm not sure why I have not been able to get into the routine of doing freezer meals on a regular basis, however this time around, it has been relatively simple and no pressure. One of my favourite YouTubers to watch on the topic of freezer cooking is Jamerill's Large Family Table . She has put together a few packs with a bunch of large family style freezer cooking meals and they are amazing! Check it out by following the link to her YouTube channel and she has the link on her page. Some of the recipes I have been able to make for the freezer meals include: Banana Bread (3 loaves) Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan (can't wait to try this on the weekend) Slow Cooker Broccoli and Beef (this was a big winner with the kids -...
