– Surviving Motherhood since 2012
I’ve seen these witch hat cupcakes around last year quite a bit and I really wanted to give them a go! We’ve been really busy this year so other than our Mummy Pizzas we have had very little on the Halloween front and we aren’t even sure if we will make it out trick or […] Read more…
Carbs are one of my vices so I have been looking for low-carb desserts to satisfy my sweet tooth without getting all carby! I am looking at post-baby food options that are realistic, delicious and can help me reach my goals! After my Pregnant and…Fat post I realized that if I wanted to hold myself […] Read more…
Meal Prep can be intimidating, especially with all the social media hashtags, fitness guru’s and all-round health nuts but what does it actually mean and how can it help you? Meal prep isn’t just for the super fit and elite, everyday mums and dads can use it to stay on top of their lifestyle and […] Read more…
Don’t let the cereal fool you, these sweetie nest treats are definitely not a healthy breakfast alternative (although the boys have tried to convince me otherwise!) The last time I went food shopping, I made the phenomenal parenting mistake of buying normal Shreddies instead of frosted Shreddies and this resulted in multiple complaints from the foodies that […] Read more…

Let’s be honest all I want to do is stuff my face all day everyday! and since I don’t have the metabolism for that (I have tried I swear) I have to enable myself in other ways! I have to say I have been eating healthier recently and I did a great round-up of Healthy […] Read more…
One of my favourite things at the moment is quinoa! If you don’t know what that is, it is a grain-like seed that is full of protein so it is also great for vegetarians! It is very diverse which means you can have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner (or maybe even dessert) AND it’s good […] Read more…
Freezing fruit is the best way to prolong its lifespan as well as opening up a whole new array of options for recipes. Frozen fruit is good for the budget too because it is usually cheaper as you buy it in bulk. Fresh fruit and vegetables tend to go off very quickly in our house […] Read more…
I can honestly say I won’t be buying store bought strawberry syrup again! (and I can be pretty lazy so that is saying how easy this is to make!) With an abundance of strawberries in the house (I don’t know how that happened!) I tried to come up with some ways to use them and […] Read more…
