I don’t know about you but sometimes it can be hard to make sure my children have a balanced diet. Now my youngest has started Junior School we decided she could join her brother in having packed lunches every day, so I feel under more pressure than ever to give them a healthy lunch. Like…
My children just love helping in the kitchen. We’ve made quite a few things over half term which has been a lot of fun, and just a bit messy too. Sometimes it’s the simplest recipes that are the most fun. We’ve made Teddy Bear Toast a few times and I thought it was worth sharing…
Did you know that National Sandwich Week is celebrated between May 20th and May 26th? We were challenged to celebrate it with Num Noms, those cute little scented food-related collectibles.

Our Easter weekend passed in a bit of a blur thanks to a house full of family. We had Easter Egg Hunts (indoors due to the weather) but it just felt so busy with little time to relax. Thankfully the children have a 2 week break from school which gives us plenty of time to…

It’s been a while since I’ve put together a fun bento lunchbox. However this weekend we planned a fun day out and I wanted to make the children a special lunch. We’re all excited about the new new Minions film and I thought this would make a brilliant theme for lunch. So today I’m sharing…
