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 ...

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...

My Top 10 Cookbooks!

Hey Guys! You all know I am a mumma of a large family, so I kinda have to have a few favourite cookbooks, right? I do have quite a few cookbooks and websites that I pull from when I am meal planning, particularly when I get stuck with making the same meals over and over (it happens... I am far from perfect guys...).  Some of these are for thermomix recipes specifically, (my goal for the year is to use my thermomix more) while others are just general cookbooks. So lets get into it! 1. Thermomix Every Day Cookbook. This is the cookbook you get with your Thermomix and it has basic recipes and hints and tips to get used to your thermomix. My mum's favourite recipe in this is the custard.  2. Mamabake Cookbook. This is the cookbook I reach for when I have a lot of busy days where I will not have time to cook. There is a lot of slowcooker dump recipes in there that my family love and don't break the budget. 3. Once a Month Cooking by the Stay at Home...
