I recently received a delivery from Juiced Co. containing a few smoothies, juices and soups to try. Fresh juices are super healthy and I often have them for breakfast. Lunches however, are a daily struggle. Finding a meal that is quick and easy but more importantly healthy, can be tricky! The Juiced Co. Soup’d range sounded like the perfect solution. [Read more…]

Fruit Pack
Today I am reviewing a great product for kids called Fruit Pack. As moms it can be a struggle to always have a healthy snack on hand where ever you go and Fruit Pack provides a solution to this dilemma. Fruit Pack is a new healthy fruit snack for children on-the-go, conveniently packaged in a fun, easy-to-use squeezable and resealable pouch. Made from 100% natural fruit with no added sugar, Fruit Pack contains no colourants, no flavourants and no preservatives.
Whether you’re travelling or at home, Fruit Pack’s healthy and delicious flavours can be enjoyed anywhere and make it easier for us parents to feed our kids better food when we’re out and about. Pouches are strong enough to be tossed into a handbag and compact enough to fit inside a pocket or lunchbox. Just twist off the cap and squeeze!
The packs are suitable for kids from the age of 10 months and there are three flavours to choose from. Each flavour has it very own personalised animal character, so not only are the packs nutritious but they are also fun. The flavours are Awesome Apple {Gina the Giraffe}, Strawberry & Banana {Mani the Monkey} and Apple & Pear {Eli the Elephant}.
So if you are looking for a convenient healthy alternative snack to pack in your bag for the little ones, for those unexpected moments or something extra to add to your kids lunch box, Fruit Pack is definitely something you should try. A great suggestion was to place the packs in the freezer, especially in summer so the contents will remain chilled and be a great refreshing alternative to Ice Lollies {less messy too} or fruit juice. Or my husbands idea was to use them when he goes on long cycles to replace electrolytes! Who said you needed to be a kid to enjoy Fruit Pack!
Artjamming
A few weeks ago we celebrated my eldest daughter’s 11th Birthday. Luckily being a January baby we have always been blessed with good weather, so a pool party or the like has been the theme. This year however we decided to change it up a bit and book a party at Artjamming, in Cavendish Square in Claremont. Both my girls love art so this seemed like the perfect venue!
What an amazing place, run by a wonderful young lady, Megan, who was both enthusiastic and hugely talented. After the girls were shown the ropes, they went about selecting their choice of paint colours – they all marvelled at just how vast the choice was! They were then let loose to do whatever their creative spirit dictated. Most of them thought that a more abstract approach was the order of the day and we ended up with quite a few Jackson Pollack inspired pieces!
All in all it was a fun-filled, creative way to spend an afternoon and celebrate a special person’s birthday. If you are looking for a party venue for your kids or just a fun family outing have a look at their website, Artjamming, it is well worth a visit!
