TinyMe produce some great items for kids- personalised labels, bags, lunchpacks, family planners and more. If you've used their products before, you will also know that, not only do their products look good, they are great quality. The labels don't peel or fade despite regular washing and I love being able to create a character for the labels that really looks like my child.

They also produce a range of free downloadables for your personal use. With ANZAC Day approaching, take a few moments to check out their downloads here.
You'll find a poppy design to download and create to wear or to decorate your table, this ANZAC Day. You can also make an ANZAC wreath with the poppy design.

A recipe card for ANZAC biscuits is included. Commemorate ANZAC Day with your family, this year, in a special way with these little highlights from TinyMe.

Sports practice, school concerts, end-of-year
events, appointments…keeping track of all the family’s commitments is always a
headache but at this time of year, it’s almost impossible. 
The award-winning Cozi is a FREE family organiser and mobile app that
  helps you organise your busy life- Family Life.. Simplified. It’s well worth
  checking out, especially as the mobile app is now available for Australian
  families.


FAMILY CALENDAR
 A calendar for the whole family is easy to set up along with reminders for everyone assigned (txt or email) and a weekly emailed list of the upcoming events for the week. Recurring events like school schedules can easily be included. And, it syncs with other calendars.

TO DO LISTS
 Use the To-Do feature and receive timely reminders.  Assign tasks for kids, too, and print off a chore list for each child. Use a premade planning check list for any upcoming event from the lists of household cleaning, party needs, birthday party checklists, pantry needs, school supplies and more.

 FAMILY MEALS
Plan meals with the drag and drop recipes feature to create your weekly dinner plan. Add recipes and ideas to the online recipe box and add ingredients to your shopping list. Your shopping list is available on your app or can be emailed so that it’s always available. 

FAMILY JOURNAL
 Easily add family memories and milestones to the family journal/blog and share family news via email, on a private family website or on Facebook. The Cozi homepage also includes regular, helpful family articles and ideas. Find Cozi HERE...

 Cozi wins awards year after year and you’ll find it invaluable as a family organiser. There are other apps available from Cozi, too, that you might like to check out: Cozi Password Vault and Cozi Kids Colouring.

 Check out the Cozi clip below for a comprehensive overview of the Cozi organiser- specially designed for busy families.

It doesn’t seem so long ago that we were searching for warming, winter soup recipes and now, the heat has hit and ice-cream is looking pretty good.  These Traffic Light iceblocks are a great idea for kids from Annabel Karmel. Annabel has produced some wonderful little recipe books for families with which you may be familiar. Not only do the healthy recipes cater for particular age groups of kids, they are also creatively presented. And these fruity ice creations are no exception. I’ve included the recipe below but you can check out her website for more wonderful meal ideas to tempt the most fussy of eaters. The website also includes videos of Annabel cooking some of these recipes and I’ve included one below.
Check out the website here…


Annabel Karmel also has an app- The Essential Guide to Feeding your baby and Toddler- filled with recipes, cooking tips and teaching videos. See below...

Traffic Light Ices
Prep time: 20 minutes plus freezing time Its easy to make fresh fruit lollies and you can use just one type of fruit if you prefer.

 Ingredients
250g strawberries
4 ½ tbsp honey
3 large ripe juicy peaches, peeled,
stoned and sliced or used tinned apricots in juice
5 large ripe kiwi fruit,
peeled and sliced

 Method
In a blender, puree the strawberries and then sieve the puree to get rid of the seeds. Stir one and a half tbsp of the honey into the strawberry puree.

Then pour the strawberry puree into each of the ice lolly moulds (or use empty yoghurt pots) until each mould is one third full and freeze until firm
(about 1 ½ hours).

Repeat the process with the peaches and 1 ½ tbsp of the honey (no need to sieve the peaches) and freeze until firm, then add the kiwi fruit mixed with the rest of the honey and insert the sticks
