Meal Plan 01/02/21

-



Here we go with our first meal plan for February. Am I the only one who gets a little excited when a new month starts on a Monday?

Monday

Pasta bolognese bake


Tuesday

BBQ wings, chips and salad


Wednesday

Breakfast dinner


Thursday

Salmon, green beans and crushed new potatoes


Friday

Beef nachos


Saturday

Fish finger rolls


Sunday

Nando’s fakeaway 


We are going to attempt ‘Fakeaway February’ here and the money we would have spent each weekend on a takeaway we will put in a pot and save it for a treat if we are ever allowed out again. 


If you have any fakeaway favourites I’d love to know which ones and the recipes to help us along this month.


I’m taking part in Katy Kickers food linky this week and am looking forward to seeing what everyone else has on their menus. If you are looking for some food planning inspiration or just some meal ideas this is a great opportunity to check out what others are cooking up in their kitchens.

Emma xoxo

Virgin Pure WaterBar - Tried and Tested

-
Image
As a family of six you can probably imagine that we go through quite a lot of drink in our house and surprisingly enough, despite 2 of the kids being teenagers about 80% of that drink is water. I would buy around twenty four 500ml bottles during my main weekly shop and then get another pack later on in the week. Back in March we attended the Ideal Home Show in London and one of the first stands we came across was Virgin. As Virgin Media customers I headed over hoping I could get a better deal or discount on my current plan but instead they were giving everybody free water samples. We spoke to one of the sales team and she explained that Virgin Pure was another part of the ever growing Virgin company that offered filtered water machines. I'm usually quite skeptical but even I had to admit that the water sample did taste, for lack of better words, cleaner and purer. The WaterBars give you unlimited, triple filtered and UV filtered chilled water, they dispens

Children's Parties - The Greatest Show on Earth

-

Exclusive soft play hire, trampoline park, princess parties, pamper parties, hiring a cinema screen. These were just some of the results that came up when I searched '3 year old party ideas' Our youngest turns three at the end of the month and has already been telling me all about this party that she's having but when you drill down into the basics of it what do we have parties for?? To spend time with loved ones on a special day, to mark the occasion? It seems that all of that has been long forgotten when planning children's parties.  I know very few of us want the mess in our own homes or to be solely responsible for entertaining hoards of children but are we losing the plot? Everything has become bigger and better with parents trying to outdo each other to host the fanciest, most memorable party. Long gone are the days of jelly and ice cream, musical statues and paper chains and the sad reality is that unfortunately the children don't rememb

Our Summer Bucket List

-

Every year as the Summer holidays approach I panic. I panic because with four kids(by week 2 they are usually referred to as monsters or animals) to entertain over six weeks I know the empty bank balance, barren cupboards and headache is on its way.  Just before New Years Day, we make a bucket list(we don't do resolutions) of all of the things we'd like to achieve throughout the year and just before Christmas we make a list of all the activities we'd like to do, days out and events we'd like to attend. It kind of keeps us on track to some extent and helps with the ever increasing cost of it all but we've never really sat down and made a Summer bucket list.....until this year that is! We usually have a rough idea of the things we want to do and when we'll be away but its more a 'all in my head not on paper anywhere don't question me I'm the Mumma' type of list. We sat as family(minus my big girl who is apparently to
