LCMs - Legendary Cool Moms

Apparently, this is what you are if you serve these snacks to your kids...

So, I'm not because I don't. However...

In a bid to get more ideas, and to make sure that Little Miss M enjoys her school lunches, I asked her to look out for foods that her friends are eating that she might like to try. And she described this to me.

Don't get me wrong. I love my junk food. But if I can (and it's cost effective), I try to make our food and snacks. So, I came up with this...

See... I give my kids junk food. I just make it myself. And this is junk. Melted marshmallows and butter is the glue that holds this snack together. Yum!

Melted marshmallows and butter. Stir in Rice Bubbles until all is evenly coated and not too much glue to spare. Stuff it into a muffin tray, sprinkle with other toppings if you so desire, and leave it to harden a bit before taking out and storing in an air-tight container.

It's a "once-in-a-while" treat and definitely not a lunch box regular. Just often enough for this mom to maintain her cool factor. Hahaha!!

Monkey See; Monkey Do

I was just monkeying around the kitchen... I had some dough leftover from baking dinner rolls and cinnamon buns (yeah - it was alot of dough!) and I had seen this idea from the Pioneer Woman previously. Cinnamon, butter, sugar and a dash of sweetened condensed milk - yes please!!! Ok, so maybe, just maybe, I accidentally on purpose put some dough aside just so I could indulge in this .... well, indulgence. And what an indulgence - worse still, an easy indulgence as I already had the dough. Caramelised cinnamon sugar with a bit of bread covered with sweetened condensed milk. I don't think I really need to say more. And, in honour of Father's Day, we had special "WE heart DADDY" pancakes... ok ok - I ran out of time, energy and ideas this year. (Note to self - try harder next year!) Don't mock the banana - at $12.99/kg this is a real treat. Unfortunately Daddy was too slow and Little Miss M took it and ate it. It might be Fat...

My wardrobe - Limited, Capsuled, Altered, and Zyla'd

My wardrobe A while ago, I had simplified my wardrobe. Jeans, t-shirts, runners. Yep – simplified. And, as “young” mum, I was happy with this. “Young Mum” in her thirties, huh? So, let’s explain something first. For most of my thirties, I think I’ve been stuck in my twenties. Both in my mind and in how I look. What do I mean by this, really? Well, we all know how most twenty-year-olds dress. Body confidence is high (or ignorant!). Happy to be sloppy like a uni student; happy to dress up in a little black dress to party on; happy to don a sexy suit and glasses and face the corporate world. No problems over here. Except my body is no longer as pert as it was in twenties. Imagine that – carrying three babies to full term apparently does that do you! Also, this twenty year old used to think that life was one big role play. Throw on my corporate suit – and bam – I’m the corporat...
