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

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!
