We do spend a lot of time at the beach! As someone who grew up landlocked, I really just love the beach and the sounds of the ocean. As we have three children that all love swimming about and playing in water, they love going to the beach too. We have a local beach we really love going too, but with so many sunny days in a row, we wanted to check out somewhere new and found Herne Bay Pier!
This week, we have tried some new foods and some old favorites in our family. Kai was really interested in cooking a few of the recipes and even picked one out! Amelia and Robin had a lot of activities they were doing and felt less interested in cooking, which is always OK. It was also a week where we ate out for Dann’s birthday! Eating out from time to time is always a good break from making food.

[Ad- gifted product] Baby Shark is a sort of strange, viral song that everyone in the entire world knows, even if they don’t want too. I do not think Robin actually is the age of toddlers who know the baby shark song, but she does in fact know the song anyway, and is always excited to try out new video games! We’ve got quite a few rhythm based games that she enjoys playing as well, so we jumped on the chance. Baby Shark: Sing & Swim Party game is a console and PC game that has a lot of music!

[Ad- gifted product] We got mailed another Triyit Box to check out and test! If you are not familiar with Triyit Box, these are not subscription boxes. You will out a survey and then are set products that are new on the market or who have done redesigns, to provide feedback on those items. It’s a product discovery idea, where you are meant to find these new products, try them out, and possibly add one to your regular shop. We have previously received a few Tryit Boxes, and were excited to dive into this one!
When it comes to breakfast in our home, we always struggle. Dann and I do not really eat breakfast – I am intolerant to eggs and dairy. Neither of us enjoy bread or pastries, there just isn’t a lot of options left. When it comes to our children, Kai hates eggs unless they are in something, nobody is a huge fan of bread, and they cannot really agree on breakfasts that all three of them like. In an attempt to find better breakfasts and encourage trying new food, we spent the summer doing Breakfast Around the World. This meant I researched a bunch of breakfasts for specific countries and made them for the majority of the mornings this summer holiday, so we could all try new breakfasts!
We did have optional “back up” breakfasts – scrambled or fried eggs, or a choice of cereal. We didn’t force our kids to eat food they didn’t want to eat, though we did give each item a good bite to try and then discussed what we did or didn’t like about each food.
