Jucee Lunchbox Ideas

Are you worried that your children don’t get their 5 portions of fruits a day or maybe they have been consuming too many sugary drinks? Let me introduce you to Jucee. Jucee comes in three ranges: 100% pure juice, juice drinks and squash. All the ranges are 100% no added sugar.

Jucee re-introduced their 100% pure juice in 2011 as small lunchbox cartons with a straw. At the end of 2012, they launched their juice drinks in small bottles. So whatever your children’s preference, they can be enjoyed conveniently when they are out and about or at school.

DesignaFriend Post Twitter Party with fruit bowl

Yesterday, we all had such a great DesignaFriend party at home with our little guests. It was very manic and messy at times. We have received Florence and Madison for our little guests to play with. All of them saw the dolls and just wanted to play with them. I had to keep separating them away from the dolls otherwise we’d have never been able to do our activities!

Eden Project Baobab Fruit Review

Farmers from Africa joined the team at the Eden Project in Cornwall. A mutually beneficial scheme, it is designed to help farmers in Africa achieve a sustainable future, whilst educating people how to use the increasing demand for the baobab fruit to change lives for the better. The baobab fruit powder is available in the shop at the Eden Project and online.

It comes in a powder form and has more vitamin C than six oranges, more iron than spinach, more calcium than milk and gives you 50% of your RDA of dietary fibre. Due to the high levels of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants baobab is said to be a natural boost to health and may also aid the absorption of iron from food, which is really important for children when their bones are growing. It is also believed that it can ward off winter colds, combat fevers, stomach upsets and can help as a general pick me up.

Our Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs’s ‘Mr Pear’

Yesterday, we went to watch Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs and Mr K decided he would like to make a fabulous fruity creature for himself. This is his ‘Mr Pear’. We used a pear, two grapes, two strawberries, a banana’s top, 5 toothpicks and a permanent maker pen.

Pac Man and the Teething Pumpkin

Family Investments has asked ten bloggers to help their children to carve their best Halloween masterpiece. I was fortunately selected to take part in this blogger challenge to win a family day out.

Mr K is a very creative boy and I had asked him what would he like me to carve. So I let him design his pumpkin using a permanent maker. This is his crazy teething pumpkin which I used the pumpkin seeds as his teeth. As for the ears, I used the leftover pumpkin skin with toothpick to poke it into the pumpkin itself.

Our First #HealthySnackChat Round Up!

I’m overjoyed at how well our Twitter party went yesterday morning between 10.30 – 11.30 am. It was brilliant!

I have to thank Pippa @RedRoseMummy who came up with our #hashtag #HealthySnackChat.
