Winner - Nestle Giveaway

Wow, I loved the food pictures you have all sent to me. I've been getting some really great ideas for dinner options for my fussy eaters. It was hard to pick but I chose the best pics/recipes that I could replicate at home. The winners of the Nestle Healthy Active Kids are Sophie, Michelle and Kou!!!

Above are Sophie's Spinach and Feta twists. They look amazing and so easy to make. I think my kids would love them too. A great lunch box filler or afternoon snack.

Here is her Kale and White Bean soup. Looks amazeballs!! Perfect for our Winter weather although my kids would smirk at the green stuff but we just have to keep trying don't we? I tell them they will just starve if they don't eat what I make for dinner.

I am loving this plate of snowpeas and broccoli. It would be something hubby and I would devour. My kids would only eat the peas inside but it's a start. I am liking the addition of sesame seeds and what is that yummy stuff in the back? Gyoza's? Yum.

This is how Michelle makes food exciting for her girls. She draws funny faces on the eggs! Awesome.
I've been doing that on the kids lunch packs. I think they enjoy it a lot more when food is fun. Good tip.

Michelle's Banana attack. Take that! Un-real banana peel.
There is nothing more healthy than taking your kids for a nature walk. Thanks Michelle for sending me those marvellous pictures of your healthy, active family.

I am loving this lasagne Kou sent me. Now a full-time stay at home mum she enjoys spending more making delicious home made dinners and baked good. Looks great.


Also, getting really hungry looking at her Thai Chicken Curry. I love curries because they don't take long to cook so long as you have organised the ingredients you need. They are too spicy for the kids so I'd have to make a milder fish soup for the kids. I make this sweet and sour Tom Yum Soup on Fridays and it goes down really well with the kids. Also, a cheaper cut of fish like Ling fillet is budget friendly to use and I add a few vegies in there.


I made these Nutella scrolls the other day. I was given some dough from my sister in law who works at the church bakery so I smothered Nutella and cut the log out to make these scrolls which did not last very long once they were out of the oven!!!!

Nestle will be sending out these Prize Packs to you. I hope you continue to live Healthy Active lives and thanks so much for sharing.

Christmas Book Giveaway!

** Giveaway closed ** EDIT: I've linked this up to the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day !! Giveaway ends Friday December 13th! When I recieve this box from Scholastic it IS like Christmas Day over and over again! I get so much enjoyment knowing that I'll be recieving quality books that will change my life and my children's lives. I truly believe in their motto: Read Every Day. Lead a Better Life. So true. That's why I've decided to have a book giveaway because they have sent me quite a few and I have to, need to, share the book love. Above is My Merry Christmas by Rosie Smith and Bruce Whatley (sorry if it's blurry). It has lovely illustrations inside and tells a story about what the animals are getting up to during Christmas time.  Here is the book Blossum Possum and the Christmas Quacker by Gina Newton and beautifully illustrated by Christina Booth. Blossum and her friends are desperately trying to wake up Koala Claus and it's a lovely jour...

Invisible zipper foot - Birch

I thought I might shed some light on the invisible zipper foot. I bought a Birch model from Spotlight and it came in a little plastic bag with four blue shanks and a rolling foot. First I removed the standard foot from my Janome sewing machine (Sewist 521). I realised I still needed to remove the shank, which is the part that is screwed on, and holds the interchangeable feet. So with one hand holding the screwdriver and one hand holding my daughter, who just had to watch, it popped out disappeared somewhere. NO! I was about to kick myself but luckily I found it in the basket underneath my table. Phew. The Birch invisible zipper foot comes with one shank already in place so you know how it's suppose to fit. You have to select the correct shank that fits your machine and slide it onto the foot piece. I just tried each blue part on my machine and made sure it was wide enough to cover the metal leg bit and that I could fit the screw in it's side. Once you find the correct shank sl...
