The weather is always so changeable in England that you can’t guarantee sunshine every time you make plans for a day out or adventure. We’ve learnt over the years to make a plan, pack a lunch and just roll with whatever the weather throws at us.

This summer Yazoo have asked us to take part in their Stronger Bones Challenge. Yazoo know that exercise and calcium are the perfect ingredients for stronger bones and so they’re encouraging families to mix up their daily routine with exercise and extra activities over the summer holidays and beyond.

Our children have a really good balance where food is concerned. Like all children they love a sweet treat every now and again and so when we were introduced to the new Cadbury Dairy Milk Freddo Treasures I couldn’t wait to see what the children thought of them.

Black Tower have launched a new range of wine that is set to revolutionise the way people consume alcohol. There are so many times where I’ve chosen not to drink – when I’m in a fitness and healthy living mindset or when I have something happening the following day where I need to be on form. But what if instead of not drinking you could just enjoy the same number of drinks as usual but containing less alcohol?
Disclosure: We were sent the featured products for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own.
Over the last few months we’ve been working with Yazoo, showing how their No Added Sugar shakes can be enjoyed as part of day to day family life and taking them with us on adventures and weekends away. But, one side of things I haven’t shown yet is how they fit so well into our life at home too.

At this time of year it’s so important to keep the children hydrated and we are lucky that the children like to drink water but 65% of children don’t drink enough water through the day. Did you know that children need 1-1.5 litres of fluids every day? I know that even with children who enjoy drinking water we find it hard to inspire them to drink that much – and it’s even more of a worry over the warmer months too.

If there’s something our children have come to know and love it’s our weekly pizza nights. We’ll have dinner a little early, move into the lounge, put a movie on and have pizza on the sofa together.

I love soup and tend to eat it all year round. But, to make more of a meal out of it and to make it that little bit more filling I always like to team it with the perfect bread.

Like all children, LP and Little Man love sweets and they will have them as a treat on a Friday or at the weekends – and more often during school holidays. Through my life it has been ingrained in me that sweets aren’t great, they have no nutritional benefits and rot your teeth. But what if there were sweets that could actually be a positive lifestyle choice?
