  • Loved it

    I was gifted my medela swing flex when I was having trouble juggling feeding and toddlers. It turned out to be the most useful gift! Its now doing the rounds between friends who have also needed it. The price is high but I found it to definitely be worth it. All the parts are replaceable which is fantastic if you do end up passing it on or using it for a while.
    The breast shield it came with was a bit too small for myself but I loved that I could just go pick up a different size shield at minimal cost. Its super easy to maintain and clean and the portability is fantastic. They are durable machines and in my opinion worth every penny. For ample breasted ladies like myself a double pump isn’t always quite possible so this option is fantastic.

  • Whilst baby sleeps MUMMA pumps.

    After using only hospital grade pumps, I was unsure how I would go using a less powerful pump, but wow I was truly surprised with how well the “MEDELA SWING FLEX” worked.
    I managed to pump a whole feed with such comfort and enjoyment. When I first used a pump I had extreme nipple discomfort, but using the MEDELA SWING FLEX pump for the first time, no discomfort at all.
    I am truly excited that I can transport this when we go away, as it will not take up my whole suitcase to tag along. I am so glad I started using it, and do definitely highly recommend it.
    It is truly my accessory clutch handbag – lifesaver on the go, able to pull out, pump effectively and hassle free. I am able to share the feeding with my husband and family, at the same time it gives me time to take a break (go to my beauty appointments)and catch up on needed sleep.
    Qualities I admire about this pump – the design and durability, ease of cleaning, comfort and ease of use, excellent product and highly effective.
    I really got a more personalised pumping experience as a first time Mum. Really a fantastic breast pump. Lots of milk extracted, certainly pain free and down in such a quick time.
    Very use to put together and to me “wanting the best” – it is the best quality breast pump around.
    Storing milk for flexibility puts a big smile on my face as well as my Princess Maya.
    It gets my tick ✅ of approval. Even my friends all agree.

  • A great improvement from the first time I used Medela...

    A great improvement from the first time I used Medela. I was first introduced to the brand when I was in hospital and they recommended me this brand of breast pump to express my milk. Initially I had trouble expressing as there was only one size for their breast shield and the model was quiet dated. Fast forward to 6 months, what a vast improvement the Swing Flex is!
    It does the job quickly and efficiently with the right size breast shield and it was much more portable and easy to clean compared to the one I had first used in the hospital.
    This is my lil bubba with his favorite new bottle ^^

  • Makes my life so much easier!

    Ahhh the ease of producing milk fast!! My let down is huge and I can breastfeed and express a full bottle in one feed so fast! Easy to set up and clean and ready to go on the move ????
    Definitely a lifesaver for this mum and bub duo and my breasts approve!

  • Quick easy and reliable !

    I’m loving using my Medela swing flex, it makes expressing a lot easier and quicker with a newborn. I will definitely be referring friends to Medela for any of their expressing needs. It was easy to put together and pull apart again to clean. I also love how comfortable the new and improved breast shields are.

  • Loving it so far ????

    I’ve started pumping as soon as I received it to store some colostrum for bubby as he is coming a little bit earlier and I wanted to make sure I had stores for him in case he wasn’t able to latch on as yet.
    I’ve never used the Mandela Swing before and the experience was fantastic!! Light and compact I could move around or just sit on the couch watching t.v. but overall I’m really excited by it!! And I got a good amount of colostrum stored in the freezer for bub. Can’t wait to see how it goes after I have bub and my milk comes in ✌????

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!

  • 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.

    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!

  • 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
