Kids and lunchboxes. Here we go again for another year! My kids start off the school year quite enthused about lunches but, as each term draws to a close, we find more and more food coming home uneaten. Which makes me cringe for two reasons; Both of the boys are huge, hungry eaters. If they’re leaving food in the lunchboxes …
There are sooo many expenses for families at this time of year; Christmas, school holidays, the plethora of summer ice creams and activities, chased by the Back to School series of shopping expeditions.

Baking with kids is awesome at any time of year but the mess is exponentially MORE enjoyable when you get the littlies in the kitchen at Christmas time.

One of my favourite summer traditions is a throwback from when I was little; I LOVE taking the boys …
Location, location, location. It’s everything when you’re deciding where to escape for a little R&R and even more crucial when you’re holidaying with the kids in tow. We’ve travelled with the kids a wee bit internationally and A LOT around New Zealand and after a few less than ideal accommodation choices, Dave and I both agree, that your home-away-from-home whilst …
Imagine, as a Mum, if every time you said – ok SCREAMED – “Dinner is in ONE minute!”, you were actually telling the truth.
