If you are looking for fun experiences to do with the family this Autumn then check out this list. VIEW the POST

With each new year comes a renewed sense for many of us to look at ourselves and ask how we can be better. This can cover so many different aspects of our lives, from our performance at work to being a better friend. Another area where each year people continue to aim for improvements is their environmental impact. Making a difference with our environmental impact can take many forms. Doing simple things such as reducing the number of single-use plastics we purchase or swapping out the car for a bicycle or public transport when we can head back into the office. Buying eco-friendly baby and children products should definitely be at the top of your list.

American style SKIPPY® Peanut Butter is really popular in our house and I loved it when I was challenged me to make a super fun breakfast for the kiddies before school. Ensuring the kiddies go to school with a full tummy is important to me and getting healthy foods in is a great bonus. It’s always fun to get creative at mealtimes, especially breakfast which is always a rush in our house.  VIEW the POST
