Globber Scooters Review and WIN a Globber Scooter for Summer Holiday Fun! #SLHFeaturedThursdays

Summer means kids are home all over Australia for six great weeks of holiday fun. It's the time of year for leisurely days and plenty of active opportunities spent outdoors no matter what your children's ages. Kids will be everywhere the sun is shining this summer. Pray there's plenty of it!

With all that outdoor fun on bikes, scooters and go carts, it can be a bit of a battle keeping all the age ranges in this household happy. While the bigger kids in this home have bike riding skills and can zoom-off happily to the horizon, it's been a bit tricky until now, to keep the 'I want to keep up' toddler content with being left in the shadows!

The frustration in this age group is a stage all parents of multi-age siblings face with their youngest babes, but we've conquered it nicely with thanks to the newest addition to our home - a Globber scooter.

Making Kids' Lunches Healthy and Fast Plus WIN With Uncle Tobys!

The battle of the lunchbox - do you fight it at your home too?

 

Each weekday, like millions of other mamas across Australia, I am up at the crack of dawn preparing healthy lunchboxes for my kids prior to school. I carefully vary my additions every day and try keep it all simple and appealing. There's always a wholegrain sandwich filled with meat or cheese. Then there's a piece of fruit, either whole or chopped in a container to entice my not-so-very-adventurous eaters. Lastly, I pack something home-baked and wholesome; some yummy cookies or a slice of cake with 'added benefits.' (AKA fruit, vegetables or nuts.) Plus a muesli bar.

How DO You Sell a House?

*This post is brought to you in collaboration with RateMyAgent.

You all know we're planning on selling our home as I've been banging on about it here for some time now. A little longer than expected too. We're still getting there, bit by painfully-slow-bit. If my kids were a little tidier and more helpful, then perhaps we would be much closer to the next big step; the official enlisting of an agent to manage the sale.

Buying a home seemed way easier in hindsight, than the selling of one. We are rather shocked to have discovered this too. I guess we'd never thought about this next step, believing that this major purchase would be our dwelling for decades initially. It was not to be, however. It's just not for us this location.

Nestlé Healthy Active Kids Encouraging Little Chefs and WIN!...

Do you have little kitchen helpers in your home?

My kids are very familiar with our kitchen. When they're not in there browsing the pantry or fridge for snacks, they're hanging about while I cook, squawking at me with ceaseless requests for spoon-licking and dish-licking cleaning opportunities. While there are loads of distractions to myself, I have to say I enjoy their company!

It's great to have the kids hanging about when there's something fun being baked or prepared in the kitchen. Despite the noise and mess of young helpers, it's a fantastic educational experience, don't you think, to rope in the kids when you're preparing a meal or a treat - no matter how insignificant.

Memories are made during these precious everyday moments, for everyone.

Child.com.au Australia's Education Superstore Review

If you've ever walked into the bright happy space within the walls of any kindergarten, then you'll understand the simple joy the charm and appeal of educational toys can bring.

In years past I have loved dropping my kids off to kinder and not just because I'd be free of them for a few hours! More, the thrill of the opportunity to watch my preschool-aged child engage with the enticing educational playthings is what would motivate me to linger a bit longer before departing. Happy memories are made of this kind of thing for children and parents alike.
