We have a very busy week and sometimes I'm unable to bring home made food with us or there isnt the facilities to heat up the food, so I always carry a Rafferty's garden pouch in my bag. Its great to know my daughter can eat when shes hungry and that she's got a full, healthy tummy.

I have said it before and I will say it again these are so versatile.
We had a Family BBQ lunch for Australia Day with all the trimmings so as you could imagine we did not need a huge or heavy dinner. That's were Rafferty's GARDEN comes to the rescue. I whipped up a pancake batter added Rafferty's Garden Veggie range ...pumpkin, apple and sweet corn is wonderful also spinach, apple, broccoli and pea is also delightful and hey presto savoury pancakes or pikelets in a flash and they are great on the cash, easy, reasonably priced to whip up and any left over or extra made are super for the lunch boxes the next day. DELICIOUS .

I'm a mother of two beautiful girls under the age of 4 and expecting a 3rd child in april so I'm familiar with this product and my kids love it.
The packaging is super convenient, I am able to use them when I'm out about on a busy day and my kids can eat it straight out of the packaging without a fuss or mess.
oh and not to mention it's great natural healthy taste is definitely a big plus.
happy kids, happy mum

I have used Rafferty's garden for all 4 of my children. I love that's it's full of natural ingredients and started all my kids on this smooth range from five months. I love the variety and always recommend them. I find that he smooth range is fantastic as I start introducing solids and the purée range is great for six month plus. The sachets are great size and very convenient for busy mums like me.

Soon after we started my daughter on solids we started looking at introducing pouches to her because the on-the-go convenience was too good to pass up. I was drawn back to Rafferty's Garden over and over again because I knew it wouldn't contain lots of unnecessary ingredients and was going to be one of the best things I could give her.
My daughter loved that even from a young age she could hold them herself and took great pride in grabbing them from my hands to feed herself, although this wasn't always as clean as it could be it was great to be able to start building her independence.
I like that there is a broad range of flavours even from a young age and continue to buy them for her now even though she eats 3 solid meals a day. Raffery's Garden is something I will keep buying especially when my second child arrives as I'll be able to chuck a few of these in my bag and be able to provide pleasing snacks to both of them.

Raffertys garden offers a variety of baby food which my little man enjoys. It is the next best thing to me cooking his meals for him. He doesn't refuse to eat it he keeps coming back for me which is great as with some food he will not open his mouth. I am happy to continue with these products as I know it is something that won't get wasted. It is convenient for when we are heading out and always good to have in the cupboard. It is a healthy choice for my little man and he really loves it!

Raffertys garden has a great range and variety. I don't feel guilty feeding him these. I love the convenience of these products especially when we are out and about. I always ensure there are some in the cupboard. They are also great to add to cooking/baking when puree is needed. My baby will eat them all day if he could.

My son loves the raffertey's garden range. I tried him on the pouches before I started cooking his food to see how he goes and now I cook his vegetables for breakfast and lunch but he has the fruit in the pouches for breakfast and snacks. He was just shy of four months when we started and now at just over 5 months we have tried some other products but always come back to the raffertey's range

Week-end breakfasts are a little more creative here. This morning I whipped up a pancake/donut batter using Rafferty's Garden smooth apple, pear and cinnamon. I poured the mix into my mini donut machine and after a few minutes simply rolled them in cinnamon sugar. Oh my warm, sweet heavenly delights ..oh so good. The homemade batter was so much healthier than store bought and the addition of the Rafferty's added to a super nutritious mix and gave them a delicious taste and texture. Rafferty's is so versatile and it is one of my pantry staples.

I was one of those mums who thought I'd only ever feed my bubs homemade veggies and never use packaged food. Then I actually encountered the reality of having kids! It's good to know with this range that all you're giving your baby is the fruit and veggies and no nasties. It's such a lifesaver when travelling to be able to grab a pack when Bub is hungry.
My youngest is too old now so lucky I mind my baby niece, so I still get to have a little taste of the Apple cinamon one sometimes - yum!

Doing regular drives of at least an hour it was so convenient to be able to feed him something fruitfilled and easy for him to consume. Highly recommend them. I never really used the ones with veg but kept a steady supply of the fruit ones in my cupboard, ready to grab on the go.

Our daughter has just turned 4 months and is going through her bottles every 2 hours. We decided to add a meal each lunch time to help her feel more full.
Enter Rafferty's!
She absolutely demolished it! She did really well with the smooth texture and was happy to eat her food and shove her hands in, I think to make sure she didn't spill any!
I recommend using Rafferty's Garden as it is important to me that my daughter enjoys her foods and there are no hidden nasties in her food

My daughter absolutely loved Rafferty's Garden products. The pear and superberries was her 'anytime of the day' snack and she just love, love, loved sweet potato, carrot and apple. The range available was great, the packaging allowed her to become more independent with feeding herself. Plus it is very convenient to carry with you wherever you go.

These are excellent, just the ticket. We buy in bulk from Chemist Warehouse to ensure we are always stocked up, Little Miss 2 refuses most fresh fruit, so this has been the best way to encourage fruit eating, The 'nothing else' is also very important and the convenience is great. I always add a few to the nappy bag before we venture out.

My son loves Raffertys smooth, especially the banana, pear and mango flavour. Although he is almost 10 months old he still prefers smoother purees than lumpier foods so its is great that Raffertys has such a large range of flavours to keep him happy. I love that they are made in Australia.

“My Floor Has Never Been So Clean”: The Mop That’s Winning Over Mums
Mopping isn’t exactly the chore most of us look forward to, but like most mums, for Katrina Macilroy, it’s unavoidable.
With three teenagers, a husband, a dog, two cats and timber flooring throughout most of her home, there’s plenty to keep her mop busy.
“I thought the toddler stage was hard, but teenagers take it to a whole other level,” Katrina told Mouths of Mums.
She describes herself as a ‘full-time Uber driver’ for her three kids, but when she’s home, she may as well be a full-time cleaner.
Her husband is a concreter, the family has plenty of sand coming inside and, with teenagers touching everything, the floors quickly show the evidence of a full family life.
“I have to mop like every second day because the floor gets marks,” she said.
So when Katrina was given the chance to try the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, she was keen to see whether it could actually make one of her least favourite cleaning tasks any easier.
“I didn’t have high hopes for it to start with, because I’ve used spin mops before and I’d been disappointed,” she admitted.
But it didn’t take long for her to change her mind. One of the first things Katrina noticed was just how easy the mop was to use.
The foot pedal made wringing the mop quick and simple, without having to stop and fiddle with anything.
“It was so easy to spin it,” she says. “It wasn’t like you’re spinning it for hours or anything.”
She was also impressed by how quickly the mop itself could be put together, and the simple button that releases the mop head for washing.
“That simple press notion, everyone can do that. So I love that.”
It’s The Little Things That Add Up
For Katrina, who regularly finds herself cleaning up after a busy family, these little details made a surprisingly big difference. She also loved the triangular mop head, particularly when it came to getting into the corners and edges that her previous mop struggled with.
“The triangle design makes it easy to get into all the little corners,” she says.
But ultimately, the big question was whether it actually cleaned her floors. Katrina’s answer was an enthusiastic yes.
“My floor has never been so clean,” she says.
Katrina was also surprised by how light and manoeuvrable the mop felt, because at just 4’11”, she says mopping can sometimes be an uncomfortable job.
“I’m not a tall person, so trying to mop is always just a horrible experience.”
But she found the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set easy to move around and able to go in different directions without feeling heavy or awkward.
And it wasn’t just the mop itself that won Katrina over. She says the bucket design solved one of her biggest mopping frustrations: accidentally tipping the bucket over.
With timber floors, getting too much water onto the floor is something she tries hard to avoid. “The amount of mop buckets I’ve tipped over and just gone everywhere,” she says.
That can turn a simple cleaning job into another mess to deal with, particularly when you’re suddenly scrambling for towels and a dry mop head.
But Katrina says the Vileda bucket feels much more stable because of its design.
And for someone who mops as often as she does, she says that has saved her time. “This thing has saved me so much time, I can’t get over it.”
The Only Mop You’ll Need
Katrina also admits that she’d previously convinced herself she needed a steam mop. She even bought one, only to discover that plugging it in every time she wanted to clean wasn’t exactly appealing.
“You have to plug it in like a vacuum. Like, that’s not fun, I don’t want to do that.”
After trying the Vileda, she says she’s no longer convinced she needs one.
“Why do you need a steam mop when you can get this one?”
For Katrina, the combination of being lightweight, easy to wring, simple to manoeuvre and able to get into those awkward corners has made mopping feel much less frustrating. And despite going into the trial with low expectations, she’s now very happy to recommend it.
“I’m not trying to sell you a product, but I’m just saying that I’m very impressed with it. It’s really good.”
Her final verdict?
“It’s been really, really good. Recommend!”
This Real Story was provided as part of a paid sponsorship opportunity. Katrina was chosen to share her story because she was sent out and tried the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, and genuinely loved it! And Vileda is so confident they’ve made the best spin mop ever, they’re backing the new & improved Easy Wring & Clean TURBO with a 5 Year Guarantee.
This mop so good and the views all are positive so I just purchased one on milkrun through Woolworths and it come with 2 mop head refills. Can’t wait to use it.
Yes, I couldn’t agree more. The Vileda spin mop is by far my favourite mop for a good thorough clean at home. I even got the landlords to purchase one for the holiday house I clean to make cleaning a breeze and get the job done properly. I always grab a spare when they’re out for half price.
Ah, I received a ‘you’re a finalist’ email from MoM for this fantastic mop but didn’t receive anything beyond that. I was looking forward to giving this a try to compare the three existing options I have but alas. Looks good, fingers crossed I can try it in the near future!
Omg! Yes! With 4 dogs and 4 teens AND the guests they bring home with them LOL our timber floors and tiles don’t stand a chance! I would love to see them add some wheels to the bottom of the bucket so that you don’t have to carry the bucket around with you.
This sounds like an excellent mop that makes cleaning so easy! I love a product that not only is as effective as advertised but makes a job less grueling. I gotta say though, a steam mop that plugs in sounds like an awful idea. I have a tineco floor mop, which is cordless and charges at a base, and it’s incredible on my white tiles.
