What is it about yummy food made out of potatoes that we just can’t say no to?! As Australia Day approaches, I’m planning some side dishes to have with our family BBQ at home and I’ll be making this ‘Creamy Potato Bake’ on the day. This No-Fail Creamy Potato Bake recipe is super simple and you won’t serve up hard, uncooked potatoes.

I just don’t know how else to describe these incredible Strawberries & Cream White Chocolate Truffle Balls made out of VoVo biscuits, besides amazeballs!!! The sweetness of the centre and the hard surface of the white chocolate on the outside, these truffle balls are simply to die for.

I created these ‘School Years’ File Boxes many years ago and made one for each of my three children. I keep all their old school book pages, report cards, certificates and school photos in them, which helps with keeping everything tidily organised with this school filing organising system.

Getting the kids ready for the new School year can be expensive, especially if you have more than one child. Luckily, I have some great savings available on my coupons page that will help you save money on back to school items and get your kids back to school ready with things like stationery, school bags, lunchboxes, labels and much much more.

Many parents find it difficult to keep up with busy school schedules, especially with more than one child to take care of. If you feel this way know, that you’re not alone. So many mum’s and dad’s silently struggle. I received a heartfelt message from one incredible mum, who has reached out to me for some help and advice, and I thought I would share her message with you in the hopes that it gives you comfort that you are just one mum of many who goes through the same thing on a daily basis.
