teeth, exercise and perhaps the weirdest cupcakes ever.
So I have made it to Day 4 of my new training regime and I am still alive. Cardio has not gotten the better of me yet, plus my guns are bulging (I kid, I kid). I even made it to a second pilates class at the gym, and I must say, I don’t mind it.
Kerryn has given me a programme not only suited to my fitness level, but my lifestyle. Misty has decided he hates the creche at the gym, so every time we enter that terrible room, he throws himself on the floor and rolls about screaming. Seriously, he’s a born star… he even stands up and claps his hands after such a performance…. talk about a Hollywood. Taking Misty’s hatred of me being at the gym into consideration, she has given me some things I can do at home, Misty in tow – which is much appreciated.
Do you know something? Sometimes I just bung a whole lot of things in the food processor, whizz it up, put it in a bowl and call it “pudding.” Good for using up scraps…. this involved a beetroot/cacao cupcake… a banana…. protein powder…. chickpeas…some left over avocado/cacao pudding. Ha, yes I’m a weirdo. It was actually really tasty.
A bio toothbrush sounds like something a superhero would use, right?
More like a super grubby Misty.
This may seems like a weird thing to write about, but I am always on the look out for product recommendations, especially when it comes to kiddie-bits. Sometimes I feel like I am fumbling around in the dark when it comes to such things, and I always appreciate a push in the right direction by someone who has used and rated something.
Just to set things straight, I purchased these products with my own money, and have no affiliation with Jack ‘n Jill Kids.… I just love these products and want to share them with you guys.
The fact that they make organic toothpaste in flavours like banana, blueberry, raspberry and the likes is way too cool. Plus the toothbrushes are made of cornstarch and break down easily once disposed of. Win and win.
Oh and I just think they are really cute. That’s the joy of being the parent – you’re in charge, and I tend to indulge MY inner child while I still can.
If it gets Misty excited about tooth-brushing, then I’m in.
On the subject of teeth, Misty is working on a few new ones… and is not having much fun with it. Teething = 4am wake up calls, which, in turn = caffeine enhanced kitchen creativity. I’m still playing around with ideas for my wedding cake… let’s just say it’s going to be a “Lou-Style” kind of affair.
Can you guess the flavour?

Vegan. Stay at home Mum of Misty. Yoga teacher in training. Passionate about REAL food - creating it, eating it, sharing it. I can never stick to a recipe.
Ummm… pumpkin and blackbean with cocoa-y icing? Or sweet potato and blue potato with date-y goodness on top?
Very close! I will reveal tomorrow – your guess is the closest for sure
well your 4am projects are looking good! and i miss misty. although i never saw the fits. hehe
Oh yeah, you are missing out – the fits are pretty funny
Oh that toothbrush and toothpaste look great!! So cute and love the packaging… sadly I don’t think they are avail in Canada
. We use preserve toothbrushes and green beaver (a Canadian brand) toothpaste, both are also great… not as cute as your stuff though!
They are SO cute, right? I’m such a sucker for cutie cutie fun kiddo stuff! Ha, Green Beaver, that’s the best name for toothpaste
dude, misty is going to town on that toothbrush! he’s a tooth brushin’ rock star!
it’s cool that you’re going out of your comfort zone with these new exercises!
He loves to brush! I just have to say, ‘do you want to brush?’ and he runs of to the bathroom, and jumps on his stool next to the sink, ready and rearing to go!
what cool toothpaste! yay for Misty’s happy brushing:) and those experiments look delicious! Yum!
I know… I sneak bits of HIS toothpaste as it is SO yummy
I’m guess some black bean, blueberry carrot, and carob action are going on this the cupcakes? I’m intrigued and I’m sure I’d like it too…we are like taste bud twins lol
Super cool about that toothbrush and toothpaste! Awesome to find something so eco- and kid-friendly!
You’re onto it with the black bean…. the rest I will reveal tomorrow
I’m sure you would dig them – even Viper liked them – he usually complains when I sneak beans into stuff!
I have nooo idea for the cupcake (looks amazing though.. really. Shall I taste test?). Toddler tantrums are awesome. My niece is the master. Most memorable ever was the ‘no I won’t buy you more lollies’ tantrum, in a bus station, in Liechtenstein. Her screaming at me (in German) all sorts of things that I could not understand, including ‘you are NOT MY AUNTY’ (which I could pick out) and me trying to calm her down (in English) and wondering how many people thought I was trying to kidnap a child. Then she perceived she was being observed by.. everyone, got totally embarrassed, stuffed her head up my t-shirt and refused to come out until everybody stopped looking at her. I had to hustle her out of there under my shirt like a freaking rockstar. You know, shuffling along, small child with her head stuffed up the front of my shirt and screaming every time she nearly popped outa there.
That’s awesome. A small child screaming in German…. fantastic! You actually just have to laugh about tantrums…. if you get stressed, it makes the child get even more aggro. I appreciate the effort that goes in to such a performance though, it’s got to be tiring
It was completely mortifying and I’m saving that story to tell at her 21st (bwahaha)
Perfect! Pay back
I spy beans?
Why yes, you spy very well my dear
Umm I kind of want this tooth stuff for myself. It sounds suppper fabulous. I love your concoctions in the food processor, I swear this is your super hero tool. Make anything work is your super power.
I steal bits of Misty’s toothpaste as it is YUM! I want to eat it all the time.
Do I get a cape as a food processor superhero? I already have the tights
