- Hi guys! Welcome back to my channel.
In today's video, I thought I would do an updated
what I feed the kids in a day.
I haven't done one for ages,
and it has been so highly requested.
And this video has been sponsored
by Mavericks Snacks I have them all over there ready to try.
So thank you so much to them
for working with me and my channel,
and I'm just gonna show you
everything the boys eat during the day.
I hope this gives you a little bit of inspiration,
I love watching videos like this.
They just give me ideas that I may not have thought to try.
Sorry, soon as I blog, Jackson
starts vlogging in the background.
But anyway, I shall start out with
what the boys had for breakfast, let's go!
So, I would say that breakfast
is probably the boys' favorite meal
and the one they probably eat the best at.
They normally start out with Cheerios,
and they still love these little straw bowls
so they can drink the milk up.
And then I always like to try and give them some fruit.
Today, they're having strawberry.
You may have seen in my last blog
that strawberries are Jackson's favorite fruit
he really really loves them and demands them most mornings.
He will also normally have a yogurt and Caleb will as well.
And then I always give them a multivitamin in the morning.
I think it's also really important to have
this time of year when there are
so many germs and colds going around.
And then the boys really love cheese toast,
if you've followed me for a while you probably know this.
They really like cheese toast and pancakes,
so we flip between the two quite a lot.
So all I do is make some toast,
put some cheese on it and then I put it under the grill
just until the cheese is melted.
You kinda have to leave the door open, and then that is it.
And one little mom hack that I do
is that I cut their cheese toast with a pizza cutter.
I just find it's really really easy to use it that way.
And yeah, that is pretty much all of the boys' breakfast.
I know it looks like a lot, but I try to fill them up
as much as I possibly can before they go off to school.
So, as I mentioned we've been working
with Mavericks Snacks this week.
Which is a really fun snack subscription box
that comes direct to your door.
All you have to do is go online,
choose the snacks that you want to receive
and what quantity you want to have.
So you can order seven snacks, 12 snacks or 30 snacks.
And they come in this really bright, colorful boxes.
And you can receive them weekly or monthly, and although
it is a subscription box, you can cancel at any time.
There are 15 different products to choose from,
and they're all vegetarian,
and 13 of those products are also vegan.
So today we ordered their popping corn
and bread kicks as well, but they also do products
like their smart cookies, and fruity products as well.
So I'll put all the info in the description down below.
It's nice to know that you have
healthy snacks at hand that have no junk in them.
These are free from GMOs, unnecessary allergens.
They're also controlled for fat, sugar, salt,
so that they're fit for kids.
So obviously all of that is really good for us parents,
but what's really cool for the kids
is that each box that the snacks come in
transforms into a game that they can play.
So one of the boxes transforms into a race track,
all you have to do is cut it out
and they can race their snacks down it or their cars.
One also transforms into like a little TV box
where they can create their own show.
And the biggest one turns into a boombox,
so I cannot wait to show the boys
as soon as they get in from school.
Each box also comes with a sticker sheet and a mission card,
and on the mission card there will be a fun activity or task
which will encourage our kids to do active play.
And they can even share that on Pop Jam.
So, if you wanna find to more,
I'll put the links down below a I said
and on the screen here as well.
And you can get your first seven pack box
for free with the code EMILYNORRIS.
And if you want to join the Maverick makers you can as well.
But obviously with all that said,
that is gonna be today's 10 AM snack.
Jackson is gonna try it, and I've also
put some in the boys' school bag.
So Fraser is going in today with a banana,
he really loves those, and then he's also
going to have the bread kicks from Mavericks snacks.
These are in the greenzilla so they're
literally like green breadsticks.
And then Caleb is going to have
two satsumas for snack, he really really loves them,
and then he is gonna try out the popping corn.
These ones are in the super strawb flavor
so that should be a really nice surprise for him.
For Jackson's lunch today he's having one of his favorites;
he is having a tuna sandwich, so I've just mixed up
a can of tuna with a little bit of mayonnaise,
nothing too exciting, and I have done a whole sandwich
because sometimes he'll just eat an entire
adult-sized sandwich or sometimes he'll just eat
a few bites out of each corner,
but he does have quite a big appetite now.
So that is for his lunch, and then
he's just gonna have some water with it.
For Jackson's pudding today he is having
a mug of warm milk with a spoon, don't ask me why
he just really likes this, and a plain hobnob as well.
As the two big boys are at school today,
they will have hot dinners at school
which is basically a hot lunch.
We're really lucky in the UK that
the kids can have that at school.
It's always something really nice.
Today, though, it is pepperoni pizza and salad,
so I know that they will completely love
what lunch is today, sometimes it's frozen dinner,
sausage and mash, all kinds of different things.
But yeah, today they're having pepperoni pizza at school.
Look, I'm Peppa Pig. Look, it turns the TV on.
(beeping noise)
Okay? Hi, I'm Santa. I'm Mommy Pig.
- Oh no, they came out of your life.
- Look, look, look, where's Peppa gone?
That's it, join them.
- [Man] : Ready? One, two, three.
- Oh my Gosh, Caleb won so much. Go on.
- I don't think it will...
- Okay, help Jackson.
- Caleb's one's a lot lighter, though.
- Penguins from Saturn.
- [Emily] : It's flossing. Can you floss, Caleb?
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
What did you think of your new snacks today?
- Good.
- [Emily] : Yeah? And what have you got now?
- The moon cheese ones.
- [Emily] : The moon cheese ones.
So, he's tested out all the popping corn
and he definitely likes the moon cheese the best.
And for Caleb's after school snack
he was having the rocket red bread kicks but with hummus.
So, it's dinner time now, and tonight for dinner
we are all having a fish pie, it's a really good recipe,
I definitely recommend you try it.
I think it's a Jamie Oliver one,
but I will put the link in the description
if you want to check it out, and you can kind of
change your recipe to whatever your family likes.
Like, we leave out chili because the kids are having it,
and we also leave out celery because
Matt really does not like celery.
But you kidd of like grate everything,
throw all the veggies and fish into a baking tray
and then top it with mash and eat it.
And it's really like lemony and delicious,
and you serve it with baked beans,
and there's lots of vegs in there as well.
You can put spinach in, you can put tomatoes in
or you can leave it out, we put carrots in as well.
So yes, so we're all having that tonight,
it's actually a really fishy day for Jacson
'cos he had tuna for lunch, so
I didn't really think about that one.
It's the kind of dish as well that you can make
while the kids are at school and then
when they get in from school, you can put it in the oven
'cos it does take forty minutes to cook in the oven.
For Jackson's dinner we have put loads of beans
on top of the pie so there is lots of fish
and everything underneath, but this way he will eat it
'cos he does really like beans.
For the big boys' pudding tonight they're having some sweets
that are leftover from a party bag
and they didn't forget about them, so I've kind of
split them into two bowls and they're gonna have that.
To avoid Jackson having any of the boys' sweets
we have taken him up and put him
in the bath already, Matt is up there with him.
We just aren't gonna give him any pudding tonight.
He did eat OK, mostly beans though.
But also, he just doesn't eat the sugar,
and being the third child, I already feel like
he always has a little bit too much.
'Cos we'll give him, like he really likes peaches
for pudding, like canned peaches, he loves those.
Or yogurt, or chocolate mousse, he loves that.
But tonight, we're just gonna take him
straight up to the bath and not let him see
what his brothers are eating.
Okay, so that is pretty much everything
that the kids will be eating today.
Only other thing is they each get
like a big cup of milk, and I try to get them
to drink as much as I can before they brush their teeth.
I don't know, ever since I was little,
my mom used to always give us
a big glass of milk at dinner and
try and get us to drink as much of it as we can,
and I think I just do the same thing.
But yeah, hope you liked this video,
please give it a big thumbs up if you did
and I will know to make more, and don't forget
to check out Mavericks Snacks, I will put them
in the description down below.
If you want to test them out and see if your kids like them.
Yeah, but thank you so much for watching
and I'll see you in my next one, bye guys!
