Being their Mother is the greatest job I will ever Being their Mother is the greatest job I will ever have. I love them beyond belief and am so privileged to watch them grow. Wishing all the mum’s out there a day filled with love 💕
The weather has cooled and that means it’s time The weather has cooled and that means it’s time for one pot meals! I’m off to @aldiaustralia this Autumn, my go-to destination for everything that I need to create fresh and delicious meals for my family. 

We’re straight into one of my favourites, baked chicken in coriander and lime sauce, which is such a burst of flavour for the taste buds, but also wraps you up in a warm hug. 

Aldi never fails me for excellent quality at affordable prices, meaning I can create delicious meals for less. I particularly love one pot meals for their comforting flavour and warmth, and the ability to feed the family without all the dishes!

For this recipe, we start by browning off the chicken and set aside, make the sauce, then throw it all in the pot together and pop it in the oven to finish off. Serve with pasta or your carb of choice and I guarantee everyone will be licking the plate clean! This autumn, choose ALDI for your fresh and seasonal products.

Ingredients:

2-4 chicken breasts, depending on how many you’re serving

1 cup chicken stock

1tbsp lime juicd

½ chopped onion

1tbsp chopped coriander

3 tsp paprika

3 tbsp cream

2 tbsp butter

Steps:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius

Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook in your pot til browned. Set to side.

In your pot, add chicken stock, lime juice, onion, coriander and paprika. Bring to boil and reduce liquid to around ¼ cup.

Reduce the heat and add cream and butter, stir til melted.

Add the chicken back in, add in any veggies (I used broccolini) and pop in the oven for 15 minutes.

Add more cream to the sauce if needed before serving.

The mum taxi certainly gets a work out these days The mum taxi certainly gets a work out these days – school, sport, library, weekend adventures – and when we’re all spending so much time getting in and out of the car, it’s only natural that the stuff starts to pile up! Shoes, hats, socks, sticks – so many sticks. 

Things were starting to get a bit out of hand and it was time to call in the big guns. Noah from @goldcoastmobiledetailing came direct to my driveway with every tool needed to clean out the dirt, sand, grime and STICKS, giving this mum taxi the full scrub down to return her to her former glory. 

If you’re like me and the car situation is getting a bit out of hand, why not treat yourself to a little glow up? It’s been 4 years since I had my car deep cleaned, and boy do I wish I did this sooner. You would not BELIEVE how much sand came out of those floor mats! Now, another day on the road doesn’t seem so bad!

@goldcoastmobiledetailing is offering @mrslardeedah followers 10% off services for a limited time. So if you're looking for a last minute Mother's Day present, or want to treat yourself, be sure to book in now and mention @mrslardeedah to grab your discount!

The @kalbarsunflowers Festival is an annual 3-day The @kalbarsunflowers Festival is an annual 3-day festival held around April/May, and this hugely popular event always sells out! We've been lucky to go a few times, and each year, the Festival somehow is even better than the last!

Family-friendly, the main sunflower field has a maze of sorts cut into it, allowing you to  walk through and discover creative and fun photo opportunities and props. You can pick your own sunflowers, book a mini shoot with  a photographer, or simply wander and explore! The fairy garden and sensory garden are also hugely popular.

The Festival also features a wide variety of food trucks, a huge market with beautiful and unique artisan products, live music, and the Kids Hub. Here there are craft stations, gardening activities and a petting zoo. The kids will also love all the photo props around! 

Given how many people come through this Festival, it is exceptionally well organised and run. Parking is smooth and easy, plenty of shaded seating and toilets. Kids are free, and the adult entry fee is well spent!

If you're keen to head along next year, be sure to sign up to @kalbarsunflowers newsletter so you get first word of when ticket sales go live - they sell out on release day every year!!
