Stylish clothes for out-going Boys

As you may already know 2017 is the year that we as a family are striving to become far more conscious about what we purchase and bring into the home. We are leaning towards the rapidly popular minimalist movement and have set myself a minimalist challenge but there are still things you simply cannot go without and being the parents to two healthy growing young boys we know how important it is that when it comes to choosing clothes that are going to last an be worth the money we have to part with. As adults we at times sacrifice comfort for style but when it comes to children you simply can’t do that as comfort means they are more likely going to be happy with what they are wearing and if they uncomfortable it simply won’t work and being a parent of two very out-going kids I can vouch for that.

Homemade Goodness

So we love to eat good homemade food, I cook pretty much from scratch with all our meals and I try to use as much organic produce as I possibly can (and afford). We usually have an omelette at least once a week - with mushroom and spinach omelette being our favourite but this week I fancied a change and decided to try out making a filling Frittata for the family. I have to say it was nice not having to make three separate omelette and instead cook everything in one flan dish. So a Frittata is similar to a spanish omelette although this one is from Italy and contains vegetables, seasonings and cheese. Our very yummy Frittata Ingredients 200g New Potatoes, peeled and cubed 75g Red onion, chopped 1 clove of garlic 1/2 Red Pepper 1/2 Yellow Pepper 1 clove of garlic 1 tsp mixed herbs 100g Feta cheese, crumbled 5 free-range organic eggs 100ml Organic Milk/Soya Milk 1-2 tbsp olive oil Preheat oven to 190.C/375F/GasMark 5. Boil potatoes in saucepan for 10 minutes, then......
