  • ***The coolest monitor of them all***

    Rylee age 13,
    I had a new monitor down on my birthday wish list so was extra excited when Mum surprised me with the Samsung Smart Monitor M7 to help review and test out.

    I lOVE to game, playing Fortnite mostly but also sometimes Minecraft and the 4K picture quality is insane in comparison to what I’ve used before.

    So sharp and responsive and I absolutely love the feature of the rotating screen.

    It can connect to a keyboard and I can run cloud gaming on it also which is cool.

    Sometimes I watch movies on the monitor and also have hooked it up to my school laptop when I need to do my homework.

  • The best all-in-one monitor ever!!!

    Aneeka age 11 – I have had a chance to try out the Samsung Smart Monitor M7 and I love SO much about it. I mainly use it to watch my favourite shows using the smart hub but I have also tested it out in other areas.

    My friends and I viewed photos and videos from my phone on it and we couldn’t believe how bright and detailed they were.

    I love the look of it too and it fits so neatly on my desk.

    My husband gives a big thumbs up to the Samsung Monitor M7.

  • Easy to set up

    I am so surprised and how easy it was to set up our new Samsung smart monitor. Within only a few minutes we were enjoying the monitor. We have found it really useful for many different scenarios. It is so easy to stream from a mobile device. It also comes ready for sign in to Netflix, Disney etc and you can also use Alexa! We also love the split screen function. It was really handy when we used the monitor in the kitchen for displaying a recipe and were also able to continue watching our fav tv series on the other side of the screen. Happy mum and happy kids!!! It is fairly light and easy to move around and we love the sleek design.

  • Love the screen size

    Our favourite part about the Samsung smart monitor is the screen size and easy manouverability of the monitor. It is easy to see from just about anywhere but is fairly light and easy to move around. It’s not too big so can be used for watching tv or movies, gaming, in the home office or for school work. We have also used it for displaying recipes while cooking in the kitchen. So many features and looks stylish too!

  • We didn’t know we needed it until we had it

    We are absolutely loving the Samsung Smart Monitor M7. It is such a clever piece of equipment and has so many uses. So far we have used it in the dance room for dance practice either with you tube, phone screen mirroring from camera roll or from our cloud hard drive. We have also used it in our outdoor living area where we had movie days/nights. Hubby has also used it in his exercise area to stream workouts. It has also been fab for homeschooling the kids. We have tried screen mirroring as it is much larger than a phone or iPad screen. We have also used it to play PowerPoint lessons and watch Netflix or Disney documentaries. The quality of the picture is impressive and it was super easy to set up. We love its sleek design and it is easy to move around to different locations. We also love the slit screen function. It’s a fantastic piece of technology that we have found very useful!

  • It’s so cool

    I just love the design of Samsung Smart Monitor M7. It sits at a level on my desk that provides me with the perfect viewing angle.
    I really love the colors they are extremely vivid and the picture quality is excellent.
    I enjoy the huge display and I can use up the whole space doing multitasking. I really like that
    Samsung screen is smarter and more versatile. Great monitor for design work and gamers too.
    The monitor can work with a universal samsung remote, can connect to the SmartThings and act as a SmartThings hub to control all my smart devices is just so cool. And since the TV supports playback of 4K content via the built-in apps (YouTube, Netflix and more), there is plenty of content to watch!
    I love the picture quality and works great with my regular tv shows, gaming and my work PC.
    A perfect screen for the home office, in other words.

    This is the perfect addition to my teenager’s room! He is really into gaming but also loves watching movies and can easily switch between both. The picture quality is exceptional. He can adjust the screen easily to the perfect height that he needs at the time which is a bonus. It’s also really handy for doing his homework as everything they do is online these days.

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!

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.

No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • 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.

  • 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
