As mums, anything we can do to encourage our children to start the day with a healthy breakfast is a good thing.

Which is why we’re excited to introduce the new BIX app from Weet-Bix … that’s going to have kids everywhere lining up for a healthy breakfast.

How does the Weet-bix BIX App work?

Bix are like a trade-able currency.  You collect Bix every day using your BIX app while you eat your breakfast by scanning the QR code on special Weet-Bix packs and use them to access unique experiences, instant vouchers,prizes and gifts.

To start collecting Bix you need the BIX app.

The Bix app can be downloaded from the App Store to use on your iPhone or go to weetbix.com.au/bix to sign up on your smartphone or computer.

Bix can even be used to gain access to exclusive content like videos of pro tips from teenage superstars – look for the ‘Your Turn’ stuff in the USE section of the app. Plus simply scanning the QR code every day also gives you entries into competitions.

Find out more about the new BIX app here.

In the Weet-Bix BIX App review, mums selected to be part of the Weet-Bix App review team will receive a 750g pack of Weet-Bix containing the QR codes your kids can start downloading.  We’ll be asking mums and their families to download the BIX app, start collecting Bix, getting involved as much as possible and then post their review and ratings on this page.  You might even like to get your kids to post a review for you!

  • Exciting, fun, easy, achievable prizes

    My son got home on Friday and was so excited about the BIX app and then when we went through the prizes that you can achieve by scanning every day he was over joyed. I’m sure I’ll get reminded tomorrow to scan. I have also taken some nice photos that I will upload tomorrow.

My children get up and the first thing they want to do is scan their weet bix- after they have finished of course! The prizes are great will be interesting to see what is available when we have accumulated enough bix! I will be telling my friends about this one! Thanks!

    This is a great app to download and very easy to use. My kids have loved the prizes and get very exited each morning to scan the weet bix box. I would recommend this to kids over the age of 10 because they are likely to value the prizes . Over all it is a great app.

  • Absolutely fantastic and exciting app to use

    This App was amazingly easy to download. My son was so excited when we had a box of Weet-Bix turn up on our door and we investigated how to use the App. So many exciting things to look forward to. The scanner is so easy to use for kids and adults alike. Basically just by scanning every day whilst enjoying our favourite breakfast cereal we get to become eligible for rewards and great prizes! I’ll keep everyone posted on any prizes we may win! Fingers crossed.

  • It was a great idea.

    When I seen this advertised on the larger weetbix box I thought why not get the bigger box for the try out of the app etc for my boy. Well it was a let down. The app isn’t that great and like usual the prizes aren’t glamerous. My son does not really use or interact with the app anymore. It was easy enough to download but not being used so have deleted it since. Maybe for others it might be great but not in this family. Will still be eating weetbix though!

  • Dissapointing

    My kids eat week bix every morning for breakfast, and have done for years. When this promotion first become available i was really excited. However from the very beginning the app too ages to down load, some days the credits would work and other days the would not. It took ages for points to add up and then when I finally had enough to redeem a gift the app would not work and I lost my points.

    We’ll they got rid of that suddenly!it was great to start out with and we received an awesome huge breakfast bowl but after that it was hard to get anything good.i also had to delete the app a couple of times.if they brought it back though I’d probably use it again

  • Ended disappointingly

    Well, I’ll be a little wary of future Weetbix promotions. This app turned out to be problematic in the long run – it kept hanging, so I had to delete it and download it again at least once or twice most weeks. And it didn’t always register a scan, but then would refuse to accept a second try… More importantly, they seemed to forget half way through that it was about kids. Prizes were often put up during school hours or late at night, so not accessible to my kids at least; and then the promotion ended fairly abruptly, with very few prizes available in the last couple of months, leaving us with hundreds of unredeemable points. My kids were disappointed, and this wasn’t at all what we thought we were promised when the promotion started. I won’t want to get my kids too excited about future Weetbix promotions in case they’re disappointed again.

  • Very hard to work up to anything

    I downloaded the app for my son who eats weetbix most days, but we struggle to get enough ‘bix’ to earn any prizes so it is disappointing for him. Not worth the time or effort…

    Weetbix are a healthy, oldie and with the new sugary cereals available i felt that having this extra incentive makes it better for kids to engage with the product range and we got a few extras too!

  • frustrating

    We downloaded this after seeing it on MOM but have to admit its been forgotten in the breakfast rush, it would be good if you were committed to doing it all the time and had older children. And i have so many apps on my phone did I really need another one. Life is so hectic and everyone wants their bit of you.

  • The prizes were always 'sold out'

    every time we checked there never seemed to be prizes available. they had some great prizes but we never were able to redeem them. Then i upgraded my phone and when i reinstalled the app on my new phone all the points were gone. a bit disheartened but should’ve thought of that beforehand i guess. great idea though and i will think ahead next time.

    I did not apply to review the Weet Bix App, but I did download it two or three weeks ago. its a great app with some fantastic rewards and it does encourage my kids to eat Weet Bix in the morning so they can scan the bar code. They scan it every morning. Its a great app to have

    Pig downloaded this all after reading all the reviews from here. Such a really great and fantastic idea. My daughter loves her weetbix. And even though she is three I get her to scan the codes. She’s finds it really fun and enjoyable. With a little help from me she knows how to use it while I watch her.

    I must say. This is a genius idea as its something you can get your kids involved in daily and get them to eat weetbix since they are already pulling it out to scan the barcode. My 5 year old loved trying this app and ive lost track of how many times he has done this.

  • Not the greatest app

    The app was easy to download to my Iphone, but really thats where it stopped. Only one of my kids like weatbix and she does not eat it every day. I thought the app might encourage them to eat more but they were not really interest and on the morning my daughter did eat them we usually forgot about the app.

  • Pointless

    I found it silly that a breakfast cereal became an app. My kids aren’t into phones, ipods etc with apps so it was on no use to us. They love weetbix but it just wasn’t something they connected with. I ended up deleting the app off my phone once I realised they didn’t care.

Article Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board 

Sandhurst article image

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • i buy this for family they love the brand and the taste of sandhurst and the different flavors and range to choose from and i find it great value for money, i re-use the jars when im done with for small items in the house.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

    Reply

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • This is timely and helpful, thanks – I aspire to entertain more and tips to make it less stressful are very welcome.

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

    Reply

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed
