We didn’t relax, but we did survive. And sometimes that’s the win.

Take a break!

Even if you can't afford a vacation or are able to take the time off, you can do a mini vacay! Hit the beach or a lake or just lay out in the sun in your own backyard or patio. It's important to take some time to yourself and just relax. Life is too short to always be working or stressing. Even a short walk cheers me up. Make sure you are pampering yourself on a weekly basis and maybe smaller things on a daily basis. Examples of daily things might be a good book, a facial, a special dessert, or a phone call with a friend. Get creative!

Hello, it me

[tell-seb-i-love-him]

Took a week off from work and decided it's the perfect time to do some long-put-off Reno on my house. The weather outside is shit anyway

Thought I'd do a little 'Caravan food content' because why not! Caravan holidays have their own rhythm - a mix of sea air, sandy shoes and plates that tell the story of the day. Last week’s table was a little bit of everything: hearty breakfasts to set us up for adventures, quick picnic-style spreads between beach walks and those cosy, end-of-day dinners that are little comfort blankets!

We had protein-packed starts with eggs, bacon, fruit and fresh juice; delicious sweet pancakes, colourful plates of fajitas & pasta; chicken and veg loaded with gravy; and snack boards that balance fresh veg and hummus with the comfort of crisps, biscuits & chocolate. There was plenty of 'holiday fuel' too - donuts dusted in sugar, carrot cake and a stash of sweets for movie nights in the caravan.

It’s not about perfect eating, it’s about shared moments - kids tucking into their favourites, adults getting a bit of everything and the joy of having it all on one table. Healthy, indulgent, familiar, new… Every plate a little postcard from our week away.

There's so many easy ideas you can do - from cooking in the caravan to batch cooking up some easy healthy meals beforehand so you don't need to worry as much:

Breakfasts

- Pre-made pancakes with yoghurt and fruit (we had pistachio cream!)

- Yogurt pots with granola & a drizzle of honey

- Toasted crumpets with butter and jam (or peanut butter + banana slices)

- Bacon and eggs butty with beans

- Smoothie pouches

- Cereal and milk

Lunches

- Wrap station: ham, cheese, cucumber, hummus, grated carrot -let the kids build their own

- Jacket potato (any topping)

- Mini ploughman’s: cheese cubes, apple slices, crackers, ham, tomatoes

- Tuna mayo rolls with lettuce and crisps on the side

- Leftover remix: use last night’s chilli or hot dog buns or salad bits

Teas (Dinners)

- Sausage traybake: sausages, chopped, onion - roast all together

- DIY burgers: grill burgers, serve in buns with cucumber coins and ketchup

- Beans on toast with grated cheese

- Pre-made spag bol (pasta traybake)

- Pre-made (at home) fajita mix just use wraps & cheese

- My kids fave is cheese stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon with tinned veg, potato & gravy!
