  • Parking has never been so easy!

    Whilst driving the Toyota kluger grande I have never found parking so easy. Whilst I have cameras in my current SUV the kluger grande’s camera has given me so much more confidence in reverse parking in small car parks… the birds eye view gives me an overall view of how much room I have around the whole car in one view. Absolute heaven… these bells and whistles actually make a huge difference #toyotaklugergrande #momreview #mouthsofmums #thebestsuv

  • Day 2 Kluger in the City

    Today I was very pleased to jump into my leather seat and head into work. I thought I would concentrate on how the Kluger drives today, especially on my journey to and from work. Overall, it’s a lovely smooth drive. The Kluger has plenty of power and a great turning circle for such a spacious car. The size didn’t seem to matter as I maneuvered through some of my “short cuts” (read narrow streets) as I made my way to work. I absolutely love the blind spot alarm safety feature that lights up on the side mirrors if a car is in your blind spot – genius! Today my parking was better – yay! I am getting better and using all the helpful tools – review mirror and front beep alerts – makes it seem easy. It’s also nice to be so high and see the road as you’re traveling. Another top day with the Kluger… how am I ever going to let her go? #toyotaklugergrande #momreview #mouthsofmums #thebestsuv

  • The safety features have really impressed me...!

    Whilst safety is a huge factor for us especially as we always have a bunch of kids in the car … I have never noticed so many helpful safety features in a car I have driven. The verbal warning when I entered a 40k ‘school zone’ was my favourite and I wish all cars had this! On long trips or using freeways when driving at a high speed the safety emergency stop when coming too close to another vehicle can be life saving. I am beyond impressed with the safety elements thought about in this vehicle. #toyotaklugergrande #momreview #mouthsofmums #thebestsuv

  • Shopping with a Klugar

    Today I went to do a shop (by myself) for the weekly groceries. It is such a nice car to drive. I love the versatility of the seating options. I have three boys (all with child seats). I can fold down two of the three seats in the back, so I can with the other two boys in the middle. This left me with HEAPS of room in the boot. The boot opens and closes with a nice automatic press of a button, and if you’re really piling in the shopping bags, there is a glass opening hatch so that the main door can be kept closed and you can keep filling it up! Oh, and yes, I did have the nicest car in the parking lot. Easy to see where I parked (I often forget where I parked #babybrain), and with parking assist, super easy to get in and out of those tight parking spots.

  • Day 1 - Testing the Kluger

    Day 1 TESTING THE KLUGER
    Excitement was in the air today and my kids and I were taking bets to see what colour Kluger we’d get to test drive. Hamish won – it was grey! The car arrived – very shiny and visually appealing and with that new car smell! My first task was to transfer the kids seats over. It proved easy. The back seats folded down like a dream and it was easy to click the seats. Then we thought it would be good to test the storage capacity so we loaded up the bike and scooter and headed to the park. It’s so easy to throw everything in and I love the automatic opening feature. We also stopped at the post office and picked up a delivery of large packages with no issue (this would have been tricky in my current car). The kids were very excited to try the DVD so we gave that a whirl – they loved it – the hard part will be convincing them that movies are only for long haul drives. To be honest, I was a little nervous as I turned down my street to enter our underground parking. It is tricky parking even with a small car… the parking spaces are small and there are poles everywhere! It took me a few attempts but I don’t think I would have managed it without the rear camera. It will be a test to see if it gets easier over the review period – I will let you know! Today I will base my stars on storage.

  • Spacious & perfect for an active family

    In addition to the interior space we found great value in the back glass boot door. It was perfect when picking kids up at various activities.. they were able to open back glass hatch load in their bags without me needing to hop out and open the boot.

  • Loved the spacious seating and boot space

    The interior of this car was super flexible and ideal for our family. We often have extra passengers especially giving extra children lifts after school going to activities. It was so easy to flip up extra seats and loads of space to fit scooters, soccer gear plus school bags and groceries. We never felt cramped. Loved the generous space and the flexibility of changing the seating configuration.

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!

  • 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

  • Charcuterie Boards and Antipasto boards are so good. I love them, i love the variety of foods you can put on them and they are so great for entertaining and enjoying with family or friends. It is something i like to make whenever i have friends over as you can enjoy and pick away while you are catching up. Great entertaining option.

  • I absolutely adore an antipasto spread. There’s nothing better than having a colourful plate of charcuterie and antipasto shared with loved ones. I grew up with my Mum making the most lush, long table of nibblies on celebrations and it’s something that my siblings and I carry on today. It brings us all together.
