Walkers Mighty Lights – Crisps For The Whole Family #review

“Would you like some free crisps?”

Who is going to say no to that? Walkers sent us some of their new Mighty Lights crisps to trial and I have to say we liked them.

Walkers Might LightsThe kids were suitably impressed with the three flavours we were send (ready salted, roast chicken and lightly salted) and tested them rigorously. Roast chicken came out on top as best flavour with cheese and onion not far behind.

These have been enjoyed not only at home with lunch but as part of school packed lunches and while crisps in general are considered not the healthiest snack by some lunch box critics no-one can complain about these.

Mighty Lights are made with 30% less saturated fat, no artificial colours or flavourings and are as tasty as they are healthy for an occasional snack.

The husband takes a packed lunch each day to work and also took these, he found them less oily than some crisps I’ve sent him with and apparently the flavour reminds him of proper roast chicken, not the roast chicken flavouring he is used to. I would call that a success.

I was happy to let the fellas test these out on my behalf as I am on Slimming World however was thrilled when opening my latest SW magazine to find this:

It turns out that not only are Mighty Lights great for Roy and the boys; I can enjoy them too without the guilty feeling that comes with eating crisps when on a healthy eating plan. (And I have tested them and they are brilliant! They have quite a crunch to them although are fine for my 2yr old and I love ridged crisps anyway).

You can find more about these new crisps at http://www.walkersmightylights.co.uk/ and our rating is a whopping 10/10. We’ve bought several packs since and they look set to be firm favourites.

For a snack that is great for all the family these definitely get the thumbs up.

Organic Baby Shopping

As I may have mentioned once or twice my sister is having her first baby soon and I am ridiculously excited about this. This is not just the first baby from one of my sisters; this is my first niece on my side of the family.

I thoroughly enjoyed shopping for my two boys however when buying for your own soon-to-arrive babies you find yourself enjoying it slightly less than buying for others as you get bogged down in the practical rather than the fun and the pretty. Buying for someone else’s baby, that is a whole new experience.

Another site I have discovered on my travels is Little Green Sheep and this site appeals to me not just because of the reasonably priced goods but also the wealth of healthy and organic items. When buying for Taylor (three in November – where does the time go?), I opted for more organic-type clothing, bedding etc and am glad I did as it turns out he has sensitive skin, very sensitive when he was a baby although better now and I had to be very careful what touched his skin, what I used to do washing etc.

This site seems to be the one-stop shop for all things organic and natural and I do wish I’d found it when my two were babies. These baby sheepskins for example are delightful and are on my list of “could buy for Lady D” (Lady D is the name my sister and her husband have given her little one so we have something to call her as they won’t give in and tell us the name yet!).

We are very lucky now to have such a great choice of websites and stores when it comes to buying for babies and children, I’m certainly having fun browsing them 🙂
