    You are so right. We started meal planning about a year ago. It has made a huge difference with me working full time. I don’t have to worry about what we can have for supper. I just look first thing in the morning and lay out what we need to use for supper. Sometimes we swap nights. But it is truly a life saver.

    Jen you will always get those people who think they can do better! Having watched your video it’s certainly obvious that everyone is well fed. And boy those meals looked so yummy!! It reminded me of when l lived with my auntie who also had a large family of about ten. The meals she served up were always yummy and I don’t ever remember having the same thing twice in a fortnight. And we thought it was awesome when we got ice cream for dessert! My uncle loved ice cream and he had it every night but we didn’t!! Thankyou for bringing us along to drool over your yummy meals. God bless. Big hugs!

    Well Done! I too get a lot of 'feedback' when I post about the food / meals we have in our family. I explain that my son has Autism and others have texture / sensory needs in the house so I feed them what they will eat , it can be frustrating at times and I know we don't owe anyone an explanation but I just feel I have to keep defending myself LOL

    Sorry you had negative feedback. You do what’s right for your family. Your meals look delicious. I have two with special needs so our meals are pretty plain and boring

    Bread roll chips and gravy best meal ever 🙂

    Looks yum! I love these types of videos, grocery hauls, and day in the life videos. 🙈

    I really like those blue and aqua plates. Please tell me they are a recent purchase and where from!

      Unfortunately no, I bought them a long time ago
      They were from Woolworths so always worth keeping an eye out for something similar
