Day 21 Remember that song ‘We’re all going to the zoo tomorrow”? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g6cbw6-vnU) . That feels like us today. C is so excited. T is too – kind of – but he’s quite convinced that we are actually going to see a circus and not the zoo. We drop C off at school to go en masse with his friends, [...]
Day 20 It’s a rush to drop off the kids this morning. Some mornings I’m lucky and M helps by dropping C at school, but today I’m on my own. I quickly make Pamela’s (http://www.pamelasproducts.com/) bread sandwiches and pop them into the lunchboxes with some raw veggies and fruit. I get C to school on time, then drop off T [...]
A multi-lingual, multi-cultural day, concluded with a yummy g-free turkey bacon pasta dish.
Day 18 Having decided that pizza sandwiches make the perfect lunchbox filler, I quickly whip up yet another pizza using Udi’s pizza crust (http://www.udisglutenfree.com/). It’s so simple and I really like the fact that I can make a super healthy kids lunch so quickly. The sun has graced us with it’s presence today and once C is packed off for [...]
Day 17 I could get used to having M at home. I love three-day weekends. It’s Memorial Day today and so we click off the alarms as they go off (always forget to switch them off at weekends) and carry on sleeping. T comes down and offers us salami – he always raids the fridge and tries to feed us [...]
Day 16. Wow. I’m tired today. It’s been a bit full on these past few weeks. I wonder whether I’m coming down with something or whether it’s just plain old lack of sleep. 3 months ago I couldn’t even have done half of the things that I do now, so I’m thankful for having my life back and try to [...]
Day 15 We get up late – around 9.30am (how the perception of late changes when you are a parent). We’ve been hearing the tap tap tap of the boys clicking away on the computer upstairs for about an hour, but are quite happy to lie there and enjoy the moment. By 10am we are just about ready for breakfast [...]
Day 14 Try to put last nights’ steak in C’s lunch box. He freaks. Mmmm. Ok – mortadella, rice crackers and salad, with some fruit and yoghurt on the side, instead. It begins to dawn on me that the key to all of this really is to keep things simple. I think I need a core 5-10 recipes that the [...]
Day 13 As I come out of the shower this morning, I say a silent thank you to my wonderful friend Jennifer in the UK who has launched a fabulous range of mummy and baby products called ‘Boo Boo’ (http://www.boobooshop.co.uk/). I thank the ‘Soft and Creamy Body Smoother’ for helping my latest scars to fade and congratulate the lovely Jenn [...]
Day 12 It’s Wednesday today. I always love my Wednesdays. T has swimming at a swim school in the city, along with his other little (although in their minds they are SO big) friend. My friend and I always car pool – in my car if I have the dog in tow, in hers if I have already managed to [...]
