  • kushies review

    I wasnt sure about this brand of cloth nappy because ive only always used applecheeks and itti bitti. Quality was great. Theyre very simple to use and nice and absorbent for my heavy wetter. I would definitely purchse more cushies and recommend to other mamas looking into trying cloth nappies

    I love these nappies, i use them when in home not when going out as they don’t cause nappy rash or the cost of buying disposable ones, its inexpensive, but only down side is making sure you have enough for your baby. Otherwise best cloth nappy

  • Cheaper, no leakage and good for baby's skin

    We’ve used multi-fit mcns from the start with my son and Kushies are one of the brands we use. Multi-fits are so cheap in the long run, we spent less than $300 to see us through to toilet training. The nappies look cute, we never have a problem with nappy rash as the baby’s skin can breathe and washing is easy once you get the hang of it. Another benefit is that we have never had a pooh explosion or leak, whereas friends who use disposables seem to get that happen quite regularly. I’d definitely use Kushies again and recommend them!

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE

    I had never used anything but disposable nappies and thought they were far easier and much more convenient to use than cloth nappies, but was actually given one of these in a hamper at my baby shower, and one day used it on a whim.. and have never looked back, just as easy and convenient as a disposable, baby has never had any nappy rash (that is why I chose disposables originally)
    Plus they have super cute designs. Super absorbent and leak free!

  • We moved house lucky my mail was redirected!
    The nappy is a little bit tight on my 21month old daughter the next size up would have been perfect.
    Im loving the nappy and liners though, its good that these can be used in a dryer as i noticed that depending on the weather they take a little bit longer to dry due to the inbuilt liner which i think is awesome, i like the fact that it already has the waterproof cover and they are so soft on our little girls bum must be because they are organic!
    The nappy liners are great too but we live on a property and can not flush these into the septic tank which i really wanted to try so we went to a friend house in town just to see how they went being flushed..so much easier!
    I would purchase more of these nappies they are one of the best cloth nappies ive used so far and it came in handy when i ran out of disposables and living out of town it saved me from a huge mess while we went to buy some nappies!
    Kushies in the bush!!
    Highly reccommend these to any parent or mother to be..love it i need to buy a bigger size so my daughter can continue to wear these and be comfortable in her correct size,.
    I think Kushies are worth the mess of having to wash cloth nappies they really are great!

  • BRILLIANT INNOVATION

    My daughter is due early august and we have been looking around at so many brilliant ideas, but this is one I think is fantastic, especially when there is not much bin space,……a bin full of dirty nappies when it only gets emptied every two weeks……….40 degree summer days……..I need say no more….I do think it is brilliant though that something has come up to meet the problem of disposable nappies and the cost…..well done.

  • Great designs

    I love clothe nappies. These nappies are easy to use, don’t leak or smell and compact. Some nappies I find bulky and the baby looks like it can’t move properly. You just have to make sure you have enough of a supply while washing and drying. I found at the beginning I was concerned with the cost of buying a complete set. I now understand why as my nappies have lasted me through four children, buying new ones here and there was less expensive than buying disposables each week.
    I hear people say gosh how can you do it? But that’s how our mums did it and it worked well for them, so I can’t see the big deal about people doing it now. I would recommend people hire some and try them out because they really are great. Then invest in a starter pack and you will never look back!

    It’s so much cheaper that buying disposable nappies and if your baby is prone to nappy rash these are the way to go. The designs are supper cute and they are so easy to wash, you just need a few on hand to make life easy on yourself. Best modern cloth nappies I’ve used by far!

    Although I wasn’t chosen for this review I have bought 2 dozen of them for my granddaughter and I got to say my life would have been so much easier had I had these for my 4 children, my gosh what a fantastic product.
    Light weight yet ultra absorbent, completely machine washable and able to be tumbled dry, just awesome!

  • Why did we not have these years ago.

    I hate using disposable but did so for traveling. These have changed my mind as they can be washed and less bulk then nappies plus leak proof these have now replaced the other nappies for my two younger children. The fact I can use them on either sex is great too. Takes up less hanging space on the line the cloth nappies. My ten year can change her siblings without having to fold the nappy for use. Even have my older sons doing the changes.

  • Washable nappies are sooooo good

    I didn’t use non disposable with my first son but did with my second and was really surprised how easy and good they were to use, and I was saving the environment too! I didn’t use this brand (but wish I did, they are soooo cute!). No probs with nappy rash and they were so simple to use and wash. Would be great to see more non-disposable being used by mums

  • GREAT

    I used the same set of 20 Kushies nappies for all 3 of my kids – 2 boys and a girl and the nappies still have life in them! They are great from birth to toddler and the night nappies are a godsend. I would recommend these nappies to anyone looking for an all-in-one re-usable nappy as they really do work!! And they are comfortable :-)

  • Nice MCN

    I quite like the trim fit of this MCN. Most I currently use are quite bulky and cumbersome for a baby trying to roll and move about. I like the designs as well. The only gripe I have is that it doesn’t last us overnight. I use a bamboo lay in insert to correct this and al is good

  • Modern Mums need Modern Cloth Nappies

    I was first introduced to MCNs when my second was 8 months old. With 2 in nappies it was getting rather expensive. We now have 3 in nappies and all MCNs. I thought cloth was too hard but for a little bit of effort its a lot cheaper then feeding the rubbish bin 50 cent pieces (price of a huggies nappy) and its better for my childrens skin, no nappy rash, and better for the environment too.

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!

  • 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!

  • 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.
