  • Goats Milk for Toddler

    My LO absolutely loved Karicare Toddler Goat Milk. And was always asking for more after finishing her Milk Drink. I have previously not considered Goat Milk but after giving it to my LO it will be considered again in the future. Compared to other Milk Drinks this actually smells good. And as a parent knowing that it is full of vitamins and minerals to assist in her daily nutritional intake. And no added preservatives or artificial flavours.

    Thanks for the opportunity to test out this Karicare Goat Toddler Milk 12+ Months. We love the Karicare Toddler brand so were excited to try out their toddler milk.

  • Delicious Toddler Goat Milk

    My energetic toddler has absolutely devoured this Goat Milk from Karicare Toddler.
    We used as directed without watering down, and he’s enjoyed this every day before nap time this week.
    Doesn’t have an overpowering smell like some others can have which is great.
    Big winner in our house!

    It was our first time trying goat milk and my daughter seemed to love it.

  • Great milk drink that my toddler loves!

    The Karicare Toddler Goat Milk Drink has been fantastic for my 24 month old toddler, she is extremely fussy when it comes to food and drink although she will drink this without any dramas at all and thoroughly enjoys it. I feel good also knowing that she is getting essential omega 3, dha, prebiotics and 16 vitamins and minerals while drinking this drink also, particularly since she is such a fussy eater. So easy to prepare and I highly recommend this product to other mums and dads!

    My son enjoyed this milk drink, as he can have a sensitive stomach. It’s a great alternative to cows milk while still containing all the important vitamins and minerals he needs for growth. I would repurchase.

  • Best toddler milk for my kids

    When I first received the products, I was skeptical if my boys will like the milk. At first I slowly gave it to them in a mug and let them drink it. My youngest loves it straight away. The oldest one takes another sip and he said its yummy. I will definitely buy Karicare Toddler goat milk for both of them. Highly recommended.

  • Simple transition! No fuss, enjoyed thoroughly

    Having tried other goats milk in the past, I was expecting my daughter to turn her nose up at this one too, but I’m pleased to say she took to it with no issues!
    There is no icky farmlike odour that I’ve found with other brands.
    As her older brother picks up every single germ from school, I especially love that karicare goat toddler milk has Iron & Zinc for normal immune system function^ to keep those nasty bugs at bay!
    Overall I’m pleased to say she is certainly enjoying this milk and her tummy has had no issues with the transition.
    Will definitely purchase when this tin is used up!

  • Great milk

    The goat milk is good however my daughter does not like the taste of goat milk. I will try again slowly and hope she likes it later. The milk has all the essential nutrition for toddlers and it is a great alternative for those who have allergy for cow milk. The milk is also upgraded with DHA and prebiotic which are very important to develop good health for toddler.

  • Easy Transition

    I didn’t think the transition would be as easy as it was. No issues with her tiny tum, full bottles being drank which is a change from her normal milk drink. 100% recommend and will be using it moving forward.

  • Nutritious, Yummmy and Easy to use

    This Karicare Goat toddler milk drink was great. It was a big hit for my little boy which is great as he can sometimes get a little blocked up but this was very gentle on his tummy and didn’t do that. He said it was yummy and we will be purchasing it again. Highly recommend others to give it a go

  • A great nutritional drink

    My daughter loves her milky drinks and will often request for one or two throughout the day with a complimentary snack to go with! I was a little hesitant at first as I figured she may not like the taste. But thanks to the easy to follow transition steps, my daughter has very quickly gotten used to this drink and enjoys it with her morning fruit. I find it comforting to know she’s receiving nutrients she needs as enjoying her drink at the same time. It seems to be very gentle on her stomach which is also very reassuring. A great alternative drink option!

  • Great product

    My 17 month old son loves this milk and often wants more! It’s very gentle on his tummy and didn’t take any time for him to adjust to it. 2 slight inconveniences we found was the tab ribbed off when opening the tin which made it a bit more difficult to open, and the scoop was very far down amongst the powder. Apart from that, this is a great milk drink and my son loved it

  • Perfect Toddler Milk

    My son is 2yr old and he absolutely loved the Karicare Goat Toddler Milk. He is a fan of drinking milk atleast twice in a day it was so easy to transition him to goat milk and absolutely loved it. As a mum it helps to put my mum brain to rest as I know he is drinking milk which is filled with nutrition, Omega 3 DHA and prebiotics. The best part of Karicare Goat Toddler milk was how gentle it is on tummy for a kid who has sensitive stomach. I would definitely recommend other toddler mommies to give this a try and use this milk.

  • Toddler milk

    When I first tried this toddler milk out with my son I found he wasn’t really drinking it, I realised quickly that had more to do with the cup. Now he loves it and I have had to buy more. I love that it is gentle on his stomach and provides lots of vitamins that he needs. All in all would definitely recommend.

  • My daughter loves this toddler milk

    Thanks for the opportunity to test out this Karicare Goat Toddler Milk 12+ Months. We love the Karicare Toddler brand so were excited to try out their toddler milk.
    The verdict is in…my little girl loves it! She really seems to enjoy the taste. It was so easy to transition her on to this milk drink.
    It also puts my mind at ease knowing that my little one is consuming vitamins, minerals and prebiotics to help her grow and develop.
    I would happily recommend this toddler milk drink to other care givers.

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.

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

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!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • 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 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.
