When Barleycup challenged me and the boys to produce a recipe with their delicious gluten free and free from added sugars instant cereal drink I knew instantly that they would be the perfect addition to peanut butter and chocolate cookies. I first was introduced to peanut butter cookies by Cass from Diary of a Frugal Family and they are such a delicious cookie, but remarkably simple to make.
Earlier this year I worked with Highland Spring to bring you some tips on keeping your kids hydrated at school, easing the home to school transition and hel[ping kids cope at school. I have learned over the years that water and hydration plays a big part in my kids’ behaviour. Not only during school time, but also over the summer and how it helps them be #BraveByNature.
it seems that parents are firmly split down the middle when it comes to the summer holidays. They either love the lack of routine and early wake-up times or they hate them and find trying to cover all the bases intolerable. However, I think it is OK to have mixed feelings about the school holidays.
How gorgeous is this free Kokeshi colouring sampler from my friend the talented Tasha Goddard? As I get older I really do relish the chance to switch off and unwind and one of my favourite ways is to colour in.

I am passionate about getting kids in the kitchen and getting them cooking, and anything that makes that easier and simpler is great by me.
