I want to share with you two of my favorite blog posts that I came across this week.
When I read through the post from Belle Amie, Mother of Three I smiled and nodded as she described me to a tea.
“So do you find yourself rummaging through the kids bags of recess in the pantry, you end up with a cup of tea and a packet of Tiny Teddy’s don’t you?”
Yes. Yes, I do. I welcomed the advice on How To Avoid The 3pm Crash And Crave, put down the Tiny Teddies and promised to make a 3PM Super Mum Smoothie every day last week. Ambitious for me. I managed to make my first on Friday at 3.45pm. A good start… 
3PM Super Mum Smoothie:
1 Cup of skim milk, (I am loving Almond Milk at the moment)
1 (old formula) scoop of vanilla protein powder
Frozen blue berries and/or a banana
Any kind of yoghurt (more details on Belle Amie – Mother of Three)
The next great post comes from Kylie at Octavia and Vicky. She shared a great phone photo app called After Focus. Of course, I downloaded it instantly for my iPhone and started manipulating my photos with it. It allows you to make your photos look sensational by letting you select and blur the background. It also has some great features. My favourites are, being able to make your background black and white while keeping your subjects coloured in the foreground (something that can take considerable time if you’ve tried it in Photoshop) and I also love the vignette feature which puts a soft shadowy border around your photo. There’s a lot more to explore on the app too. Her blog post explains it much better.
So, here is my 3pm Super Mum Smoothie taken and edited in After Focus. Thank you for sharing, ladies.
