Pants off at Woolworths... Oh and a great kindy quiche recipe!

 

I have been feeling a little out of my depth of late, no need to bore you with the details of my endless washing basket, my barking dog that is convinced he's a cat/ monkey, meal plans, lunches, groceries, unpacking ( yes still unpacking!) life is sprinting ahead of me and I'm just running out of breath trying to catch up... Dont you just wish you could pause life and go to a day spa and chill out for a while with no guilt and and no organising the coming week in your head? Or is it just me?!

Grocery shopping is a chore and the challenge is to come home with both my sanity and my list completed (and preferably a child that isn't bouncing off the walls from all the sugar bribery) Unfortunately, 6 weeks counting I've been failing miserably. Last week I came so close to my goal. As I walked out of Woolworth's I realized Dog biscuits!!! I Raced back so excited i hadn't forgotten anything and isaac was being an Angel, no bribery required today... As I scoped the specials ( this was my mistake) my child was happily playing with the doggy toys squeeking away I looked up at him - he looked back at me, the cutest little happy face.... His pants were off... Oh my god!

Apparently it's better to shop pant-less! After one tantrum, one pair of pants back in place, one kinder surprise and one packet of Advil we vacated the shopping centre at full speed, chocolatey child siting atop of groceries happily munching away and... Damn, I forgot the dog biscuits

I have a great recipe for you today, it's a real favourite in our house, I cut this quiche up into small cubes with some cherry tomatoes and send it off to kindy for Isaac's lunch he really enjoys it. (I wish I could say the same about kindy - more on that later I'm sure).
