So simple to make and oh so tasty. Also quick & easy (as long as you prepare the night before 😉)
We love our chia pudding 💕Such a good breakfast option but also a favourite snack option in our household. It’s a good idea to make a big batch and then you can reach for it throughout the day.
Also super versatile, so you can add your fave flavours ie berry, cacao, peanut butter, banana etc. The options are endless 💕

I hope you enjoy them with loved ones on such a significant day tomorrow - it sure holds a special place in my heart 💓 as it does for many other kiwis 🌸

Lockdown means LOTS of outdoor time 😊 We’ve been going on lots of walks, bikes 🚲 on the scooter 🛴 and Nature scavenger hunts 🍁🌱 Any excuse to get outside really. We’re lucky enough to be in Taupo so lots to explore 💕
I find that it really helps with the kids. On the few days we’ve had rain ☔️ they have definitely been more irritable 😬
Hopefully you’re all managing to fill in the days with your kiddies and managing to get outside for lots of fresh air too 🌬🌲💕 xx

C is for “Carrot Cake” and “Cinderella” 💜
Today was all about the letter C. So Stella and I made carrot cake 🥕 with a little help from Freddie 😊 and I had to draw Cinderella for Stella to colour in. No printer in Taupo 😬 Although I’m actually enjoying drawing pictures for Stella - James actually asked me who was having more fun 🤣 I find it quite relaxing!
We also did a few more C related activities but these were by far the best ones 💜
Hope your “at home” entertainment is going well x
