[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!

Breakfast from Around the World
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.

Deddy Bears – Halloween Teddies
[Ad- gifted product] Robin, like most children her age, is a fan of two things; plush toys and blind bags! The idea of possibly getting a rare and the hype of getting a mystery is something she very much enjoys. So, when we got these Deddy Bears – a new spooky toy range of soft, cuddly toys that are themed around spooky characters, she was super excited for them!
A Day Out at Waffles & More
Waffles & More have opened up a branch in Harlow, and Dann really wanted to go there for his birthday! Not for the waffles and sweet treats, but for the “more”. You see, Waffles & More have a big sign outside about their upstairs arcade. On the first day they opened, Dann went up there and had a little sneak peak, and since has been trying to get someone, anyone to have a birthday party in their arcade.
Midweek Meal Inspo; Sausage Pasta, Fish Tacos, Cursed Lasagna & more
Now that we are back from our holidays, it’s time to get back to cooking dinner! This week has been really lovely when it comes to cooking dinner. When school was in session, Kai was really interested in cooking dinner, but it sounded like that was due to his cooking class at school. During the holiday, he hadn’t shown much interest but there had also not been time for us to really cook together while on holiday, as we mostly ate out. This week, he looked at the menu board in the kitchen, and stated he wanted to cook specific dishes, so that he could learn them. This is great to see. Amelia and Robin have also been asking to cook, so it’s been all hands on in the kitchen.
