  • Amazing and a must buy

    As a mum of 4, I have gone through so many sterilisers! And never once have I tried a product as thorough as this! I loved that the bottles were dry meaning I didn’t have to worry about that gross slime texture that builds up on other sterilisers! I highly recommend!

  • A handy addition to my baby bag!

    I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial and review the New Beginnings tPortable Mini UV Steriliser. It’s such a handy portable device, I honestly don’t know how I lived without it until now! Amazing for when you’re out and about! Gives you the peace of mind you need that anything you drop onto the ground etc can be quickly and easily sterilised and is safe again to use. What a great invention!

  • Portable, Quick and Easy

    I’m fortunate enough to get the opportunity to review New Beginnings 4-in-1 Mini Steriliser from MoM. It’s compact and small, easy to operate, no need to pop in the microwave or to add water, and everything is done in 3 minutes. With 8000 hour UV life, I can safely say that this steriliser will still working long after my baby doesn’t need it anymore.
    The small size makes it easy to carry it in the nappy bag when going out. It’s also easy to use, just open, pop the dummy inside, press the button, and wait. No hassle and fuss. The first time I was testing it, it was tough to open, need a little bit extra strength. But afterwards, it’s easy to twist it. It needs two AAA battery, which is convenient. No need to bring extra cable to charge it. It’s one of my must bring item when taking the kids out. I would definitely recommend this to all parents.

  • Extra protection

    The New Beginnings Portable Mini UV Steriliser is a nifty little device that’s light, compact and easy to use. With a touch of a button, it sterilises bubs dummy and teats in just minutes and kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria. The best part is it doesn’t require any water or steam, fully operated with a battery and is non-toxic, BPA free, UVA resistant and leaves no odours. I don’t have to worry about knowing when it finishes as the light will turn off once it’s complete.
    Safe to say, there’s no longer worry when my Bub drops her bottle, teether toy or dummy when out and about, which she does way too often. I only wish I had this sooner with my first born. No more running to the nearest tap or parents room or carrying clean spares. This product is so efficient, practical, time saving and quiet to use. I definitely recommend this!

  • Super handy when you’re out and about

    The portable steriliser has been great when we’re out and about. It’s small and compact and gives you piece of mind that you’ve got a clean pacifier especially when it hard to find somewhere to wash them. I typically always carry 2 pacifiers when out, as it takes a little while to sterilise this works perfectly. It’s also at a fairly accessible price point for peace of mind that things are clean. It only accommodates one pacifier at a time. I also imagine that it may not fit some pacifier shapes. I typically use advent pacifiers which fit perfectly.

  • UV steriliser all the way!

    Love love love this UV Steriliser! So easy to use and multiple settings which makes sterilising all your baby products super simple.
    Favourite feature is the ability to sterilise and dry in the same cycle. No more drying bottles after sterilising. Steriliser also has a storage feature to keep the items in a sterile environment for up to 72hrs
    Because it’s UV no water require which means no weekly descaling. Just a wipe after use and a filter change ever 6 months
    Recommending this to all my mum friends

  • PERFECT For Sensory Toys!

    Sensory bands and toys are something that has always concerned me when it comes to germs- they get dropped on the floor and end up straight in my little ones mouth! Not only this, but they are constantly being played with. Finally I feel like I have a device which comfortably fits all our fidget items and sterilises these beloved toys in just minutes- meaning that my son isn’t without them for long if needed! It’s just so easy to use and I recommend it to all parents with little one’s who are attached to sensory gadgets! One of my little ones in particular has really low immunity, which means that keeping his things germ free gives him a far greater chance of staying well and I absolutely LOVE the added peace of mind this brings me!

  • From Birth To Beyond!

    I currently have three little ones using bottles which makes the size of the ‘New Beginnings 2 in 1 UV Steriliser and Dryer’ an absolute DREAM to use! Although it looks incredibly sleek and compact I can fit multiple bottles inside with the greatest of ease. As a mum of eight I love being able to use it across all ages, from bottles to sippy cups to toothbrushes! It’s not a device that gets outgrown with age which makes it a really useful as well as practical item to invest in. Oh my goodness and the peace of mind when it comes to avoiding germs is priceless! I love the confidence I feel when using it and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to add a level of care for their family- I should also mention that it is unbelievably easy to use and whisper quiet whilst running too. It is beautifully designed, not just in terms of aesthetics, but I can tell that it has been built to last- which is really important to me as this is something that gets used everyday! I absolutely LOVE this product and am very grateful for the opportunity to review it, thank you so very much!

    The steriliser is a great addition to the nappy bag to have handy when out and about. The dummy always ends up on the floor and im not always near a tap especially when going for a walk so its great to have the steriliser handy.

  • A must have for the baby bag!

    Great little unit that is portable and efficient, I found cleaning bub’s dummies a breeze on the go. Due to the size there isn’t much else that can be sterilised other than teats etc but any bigger then it wouldn’t be as space friendly – just a thought that came to mind when I dropped my son’s spoon while out! At first impression it doesn’t look hard wearing but upon use I felt confident that it did the job. All in all a great product!

  • Amazing portable UV steriliser!

    This portable steriliser is amazing I wish I had one 2 babies ago! So glad I got to try it this time round! It’s super quiet and easy to use. So small which is perfect for the nappy bag! But big enough to fit a dummy or teat! Such a lifesaver when you are out and about! I now consider this item to be a must in every mums baby bag!

  • I don’t know how I’ve lived without this!

    Wow! I was so very excited to be able to review the New Beginnings 2-in-1 UV Steriliser & Dryer. I have never owned a steriliser before, even though I am on my second baby. I have always relied on the stovetop method which takes foreeeever and means I have to stay in the kitchen while the water boils (I’m so sleep deprived and have forgotten about it before and left the stove running!).

    This UV steriliser is not only a time saver and means I can tend to my children while it works its magic, but is quiet, easy to use and effective. I’m also not wasting water or gas everyday!

    I have a 3 month old so keeping his dummies, toys and bottles sterilised is of the upmost importance for me. I was pleased to find that although compact, the steriliser had enough room for my pumping equipment as well as dummies. It takes only 11 minutes to run a sterilise cycle, or if I want everything dry as well, only an extra 40 mins. I can then keep everything in there until I’m ready to use it again. Set and forget!

    The bonus with this type of sterilisation is that I can put things in there that I wouldn’t be able to with conventional methods, such as hard toys, cutlery and even my mobile phone! Especially considering the current covid situation as well as being winter time, the more germs I can get rid of, the better.

    The only con for me was finding bench space to keep it (although it’s quite compact so wasn’t too hard) and the only improvement I can think of is that the lights on the control panel are a little dim to see during daylight hours. But everything else about this product has been phenomenal! I truly don’t know how I’ve gone so long without one of these, and I will be recommending it to every new mum I can! At the current price point, I think it is well worth it for peace of mind and efficiency, especially considering I now use it daily. Thanks so much for letting me be part of this trial!

    I loved it, it was a breeze to use and I felt confident that it had done its job properly. It was nice and compact so could easily take anywhere. It also looks nice, it’s not heavy which is great when you already have heaps to lug around in the nappy bag anyway.

  • Simply the breast

    I would say that this tiny package really impressed this little lady. I opened and found the instructions easy to follow.
    I found myself not stressing as much about ensuring cleaning and sterilising so seamless,
    I had my bestie over and asked her if she had seen one like this on the market and she was converted. You always want the best for your children. I also am OCD when coming to cleanliness and the BPA Free guarantee. After all the technology at our fingertips – there had to be a way – and it was this fantastic product.
    I am so impressed and would recommend to any future, parent or guardian.
    So happy to review this lovely device :-)

  • Very handy steriliser!

    I got to try the 2 in 1 steriliser and dryer and I am VERY happy with it! The steriliser looks bulky but once you lift it you won’t believe how light it is! Can be moved around with only one hand – so handy!
    Super easy to use, it starts with just pushing a button, no complicated instructions, hence no waste of time!
    Buzz prompts when cycle has finished and the good thing is bottles can be kept sterile inside until next use.
    All areas are accessible for cleaning/wiping, again no waste of time cleaning tricky corners.
    Love that different items can be sterilised as the sterilisation process is with UV lamp, which also makes it easy to fit any brand or size of bottles within the specified heigh (170.2 mm).
    Happy with the UV lamp as it lasts for 18 months aprox and replacement can be found on different shops (I just had a quick look online). This model comes with two filters recommended to be replaced every 6 months – this is definitely a plus!
    I would recommend this product not only because of both the sterilising and dryer functionality, but also the time it saves specially when busy with the little one: every second counts!

    How cool is this, such an awesome device to carry with you for a quick sterilisation out and about with zero noise! It was so easy to use and understand, and I honestly am so in love with how little it is and the amazing options to use any baby accessory with it really.

  • Game changer!

    This UV steriliser is a complete game changer! I absolutely love that I can sterilise and dry my bottles and Sippy cups in one machine and it’s all done so fast! Just 11 minutes the sterilise! And I also love that I can do these two options separately too. This machine has literally halved the amount of time I spend sterilising and drying bottles.
    I also love how stylish this machine is. I have no issues with leaving this steriliser on my bench because it looks fantastic and matches my kitchen perfectly.
    The 72hr sterile storage is also so handy so I always have bottles ready to go.
    I cannot thank you enough, I wish I’d known about these machines earlier!

  • On the go sterilisation

    I love that I can take this anywhere with me especially with bub being at a age where she is throwing her dummy on the ground
    Just a quick wizz in the 4 in 1 steriliser and it’s good to go again

  • Genie in a box!

    Don’t we all just dread the sterilisation and drying part of the baby bottles, feeding accessories, Breast pumps and TOYS!!!!
    I am constantly worried about the germs and bacteria on the breast pump, teethers and toys etc.
    “The New Beginnings 2 in 1 UV steriliser and Dryer ” is such a life saviour for me and my partner. I feel it is a Must-have item for all parents from the ages birth and beyond. I feel so confident and reassured for the sterilisation part of my children’s feeders and teethers etc.
    I would cringe at the wet baby bottles and dread draining and emptying the steam water build up in the pacifier or straws of the sippy cups.
    Well, this wonderful steriliser is a Genie in a box!
    It is lightweight and stylish. Doesn’t look bulky or ugly on your kitchen counter. As it does not have any association of water or steam you could also place it in the nursery or your room at a safe space out of reach from the little ones.
    I love the fact that it works for multiple purposes apart from just the baby bottles and feeding accessories. Dries up the items and keeps them sterilised in the container for upto 72 hours!
    Just can’t appreciate it enough!

  • Great on the go tool

    New beginning steriliser is great for on the go when you need to quickly sterilise a dummy or pacifier that may have hit the ground on the travels. It saves having to do it later and have it easily forgotten (because mums are so busy anyway) and is small enough that it is easy to leave in the bottom of the pram or car.
    It takes 6-8 minutes to sterilise which is super fast and just needs 2c batteries so no mess, no water, no extra cleaning. It’s all done by UV light.

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.
