Imagine, a formula that will save you not only money but time, energy, water and even blushes. You can’t can you? You get as far as a fuzzy image of a watch and a lightbulb and then it all goes kersploosh.
Thank Bob you have me, although part of me doesn’t want to reveal it until I have it patented, packaged and ready for my Dragons Den presentation. Lucky for you I can’t be harsed with all that so I bring to you this life changing idea with nothing expected in return except perhaps a smile and a small unicorn – I know someone who has one of those.
Ready?
Ok.
DA + SHC = TCTNLD
or
Daily Attire + Similarly Hued Comestibles = The child that never looks dirty
S’fabulous isn’t it?
Now all you have to do is come up with a daily menu for every colour on the planet. I’ve made a start for you below. Am I not lovely?
| Colour | Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner | Snacks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| White | Porridge | Soft cheese sandwiches | Chicken, cauliflower and mash | Nestles Milky Bar |
| Red | Bacon, sausage and ketchup | Red cabbage soup | Tomato, red pepper and red onion risotto | Red smarties and radishes |
| Blue | Erm, very cold shreddies | Blue cheese on mouldy bread | Blueberry goulash | Raspberry slush |
Any more menu submissions would be most welcome, and if you can come up with one for black I will give you a real live spoon.

It’s Genius! This isn’t just going to work on children though this is like a genius parent get ready in an instant tip. Only wear white clothes and those the colour of a chicken korma if you have a newborn… only wear brown as your child gets older (for the melted chocolate look) and then as you get older and end up in a nursing home wear pea green to go with the soup!

Oooh Pippa, we could become business partners. I think we’re onto a winner here.
May 4th, 2011 at 6:27 am
I think I love you
May 4th, 2011 at 10:20 am
Awwwww thanks. Blushing.

Black: Coffee (thats what I had for brekky), toast with vegemite.
Lunch: Vegemite sandwich if you are going to get fussy …on burnt toast.
Dinner: Black eyed peas, charcoal snags
Snack: Licorice (yum)
Now I could have just gone with vegemite on everything, apparently its very Australian to eat it like that. I however am more of a green food lover.

Oh my Bob the spoon is yours. Check your kitchen drawer and you’ll see it has magically appeared. It even matches all your others. Sighhhhh, no need to thank me. ;D

Haha, I always get the boys to wear red t-shirts if I know they’re going to be having ketchup or pizza……we have so many white t-shirts ruined by those things!
May 4th, 2011 at 10:23 am
YEp, ketchup, baked beans, chocolate ice cream – all evil, but now all you have to do is plan ahead, AND you can decide what to eat by your wardrobe, or what to wear by the contents of your fridge. Sigh, I have outdone myself.

If only it was this simple, Mini is just noise with muck on. No matter what he wears, I dont know how he does it
May 4th, 2011 at 10:24 am
Lovely Jen do not fret, simply dress him as we were dressed in the 70s and early 80s, ie lots of pattern and colour but with no real decipherable colour scheme. Et voila! x
May 4th, 2011 at 10:51 am
this sounds like the ultimate solution for Evan (Dan’s kid)
May 4th, 2011 at 11:31 am
Yup, I’ll send Dan my fee.
May 4th, 2011 at 11:12 am
Ugh I’m not loving blue day
May 4th, 2011 at 11:33 am
SOmetimes it’s best just to avoid certain colours in my experience… ;D

I have found that stripping them naked and feeding them in the tub works quite well too
May 4th, 2011 at 2:33 pm
It does, but they don’t like that by the time they get to 10. Tsk, blumming kids.
May 4th, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Brilliant! I’m sure if you google “Hallowe’en party foods”, you’ll come up with some ideas for black.
May 4th, 2011 at 2:34 pm
Ohhh yes. And it would also be useful if any priests or nuns come to visit. Wouldn’t want them soiling their cassocks.
May 4th, 2011 at 2:15 pm
lol! brilliant!
May 4th, 2011 at 2:34 pm
I am aren’t I? (Tee hee)
May 4th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Inspired! The Pickle goes on strike if she can’t wear pink so I guess we are looking forward to a diet of beetroot and strawberries maybe with a little Angel Delight thrown in. Hold on, I think I may vomit! Added incentive to get her out of her pink period.
May 4th, 2011 at 2:35 pm
You could always give her ham, salmon paste and those weird chewy shrimp sweets too…no, you’re right, get rid of the pink ;D

How on EARTH did I get through 13 years of parenting without working this out???? If only I had thought of it when I used to give my blonde haired, stupidly fair skinned daughter beans and wotsits all day!

Merry sometimes it’s the simple stuff that makes all the difference.
At least you now know that if you dress her in yellow and white too and feed her lemons, scrambled eggs and sherbert all will be well.
May 6th, 2011 at 9:14 am
Can you cure crusty gussets please?
May 7th, 2011 at 12:47 pm
Stop putting cobs in your pants woman…
May 10th, 2011 at 2:38 am
Sheer genius! I’m proud to know you x
May 10th, 2011 at 5:19 am
Isn’t this why white chocolate, and vanish was invented. A combination of both, keeps everything that little bit cleaner!
May 14th, 2011 at 3:20 am
This is GENIUS!
What about yellow? Breakfast: banana milkshake and banana custard. Lunch: omelette, Dinner: corn chowder followed by lemon sorbet. Treats: Quavers.
Love it.
