• PREPARATION • Food prep isn’t just for the adults, I find that when I’ve prepped Byron’s snacks the night before my day is less stressful, rushed and there’s more time for the fun stuff. I am loving our @planetbox to help keep us organized. It’s design means no mixing of food, fits plenty of it and stays cool with the insulated carry bag. I definitely notice how it impacts my day when I haven’t organized anything for him. Now to just get better with my own! Featured in B’s lunchbox: •Celery & nut butter - takes a chunk of each, makes sure all the nut butter is gone (like his mum). •Boiled egg - he’ll eat the white and leave the ‘ball’. •Apple slices - gone. •Baby cucumber - he currently loves. •Vegemite & cheese on whole meal wrap -gone. •Cashews and sultanas (small container) - gone. I believe its all about giving our little ones the chance to try new foods but always including a classic fave. Who else is a night before prepper and are you keen to see more of what my little guy is eating? #planetbox #striveforbalance #balancefitnessnutrition #kidsinthekitchen #lunchbox #lunchboxideas #bento #bentobox
• BACK TO IT • Today this legend returns to work after a good few weeks off (which I’m sure he’s secretly pretty stoked about). Thanks for carrying me through these first few weeks and taking everything I say with a pinch of salt @philjt 😉. I am so grateful to have him by my side as we navigate our way through life and our little ones so lucky to have such an amazing Daddy. Back to the real world for both of us. Bring on knock off time! #backtoit #paternityleave #rock #growingfamily #igotthis #family #karratha @erinhardyphotography
• MONDAYS • Are you running into or away from the week? I’m a bit of both. Tomorrow we’re back to reality as Phil goes back to work, but at the same time I’m ready to tackle it and find my groove. Bring it on I say! #newweek #newopportunity #letsdothis #hebeatme #headon #balancefitnessnutrition #striveforbalance #beach #running @cadenshae @mountain_buggy
• DAY DREAMING • Of being out on the water, soaking up the sun in my ‘kinis... instead I’m sitting on the couch in my pajamas with a really really cute hot water bottle (currently 2pm when I’m posting this). #dontjudgeme #wepartiedallnight #andallday #notyouraverageparty #pjparty
• PRETTY IN PINK • When you get halfway through your smoothie and then decide to take a picture because it’s so pretty. A sprinkle of pink to brighten (and fill) up your arvo. •3 fresh strawberries @foodfanaticspilbara •1/4 cup frozen raspberries •1/2 banana •1 scoop @trueprotein vanilla •250ml water and ice Add to you blender and blitz away! #trueprotein #thenaturaledge #foodfanatics #smoothietime #pickmeup #smoothie #nutritionist #yum
• FOOD SHOPPING • Tomorrow’s pick up day for my fortnightly fruit / veg box from @foodfanaticspilbara . And perfect timing seeing we only just got back from a little getaway. Moving forward for all of our other shopping needs I’m thinking click and collect may be the go with two young ones? What works for you and your family, veg box, click and collect, or good ol’ grab a trolley and do it yourself? #foodshopping #fresh #fruitbox #vegetables #healthyeating #familyfriendly #foodfanatics #striveforbalance
