Recent POTD

Whilst I am waiting on some extra Halloween stuff to photograph and post for you tomorrow I thought I would post some of my recent POTD. I am still loving this project so much. I cannot believe how much it has changed my everyday POV of what a want to capture for us to be able to look back on over the coming years as a family.
I was really excited to read on Becky Higgins blog last week that she will be doing some sort of kit again next year Yay!! I am so excited as I was getting a little worried about what I was going to do for next year.

Mini Banana Muffins


Care of my wonderful friend Naomi is this fabulous recipe for banana mini muffins. These are so great for little kiddies, they are just the right size for them to hold in the palm of their little hands. They can also have more than one without getting in trouble. Flynn helped me make these yesterday morning.

Ingredients-

Halloween

Wow this really crept up on me and when I realized I only had a week until Halloween I knew I need to swing into action to get some of the things I wanted done !!! We did some Spider potato painting outside this afternoon and I hung some pumpkins in the living room, that’s a start at least!!! I will be sharing our cooking and craft creations throughout the week : )

Annoying Spice Containers

Hands up if you find those annoying little spice containers, jars and packets really hard to keep tidy !! So that’s probably a lot of you. I agree I found it incredibly frustrating to find spices and keep them fresh in the pantry, and looking neat as well!! I found spice racks to be over priced and they really limit how many spices you can store in them. So when I looked under my second sink I decided this was the perfect place to store those annoying containers !!
You could use any small cupboard/shelf and achieve the same result. After I decided where I was going to store all of my spices I set about replacing them all with the large Tupperware spice containers. This way they were all the same size and shape so they would stack easily and neatly in the cupboard.

Pre-make a salad

So it is finally spring !!!!!! And coming with spring and summer is all of those great foods we have been waiting all winter to eat- namely BBQ’s and salads. I have been pre making our weekly salad for awhile and it has been working so well I thought I would share it here : )

At the start of the week either Sunday or Monday night I chop up our salad for the week. We are then able to use either all or pieces of this salad for all different things like- an actual salad, stir fry, sandwiches/wraps, tacos etc. We use bits and pieces depending on what we are eating that night. I top it up throughout the week when it starts to run low and then clean it out on the weekend to start again.

How does your garden grow ?

We are very new to gardening especially planting to eat. We decided to have a go at strawberries and we have been amazed at how easily they have grown in our garden and how many fruits we have !! It has been such a great experience for Flynn as well to not only watch them grow but also to help water/tend for them and then explaining to him when they are ready to be eaten.
We have planted a large fruit tree orchard in the backyard and hope next year to start seeing lots of fruits from these as well. And the vegie patch- well we want to get that done in the backyard as well- eventually, but for now we will just enjoy these sweet strawberries- lovingly grown by us. : )
