We're truly concerned about the health and wellbeing of Australian children
Superfoods for Kidz' is the newest range of products from Nutra Organics, an Australian family run business helping women and their families lead healthy, energetic and fulfilling lives.

ow nutritionally bankrupt most of Australia's children are!
8% of Australian children are obese1
17% of Australian children are overweight2
1/3 of Australian children consume little or no fruit or vegetables3
78% of Australian children don't meet the dietary guidelines for daily veggie intake4
39% of Australian children don't meet the guidelines for daily fruit intake5
There is a general decline in fruit consumption in Australian children between 2 - 11 years of age6
32% of Australian mums find it difficult to get their kids to eat fruit in their school lunches7
Almost all parents have struggled with fussy eaters or busy lifestyles that make it hard to get all the recommended serves of fruits and vegetables into their kids, every single day
Australian children aren't getting all the nutrients they needs from fresh, raw, wholesome and ESSENTIAL fruits and vegetables. What they ARE getting is fat and unhealthy...from processed foods, sugary drinks, fast foods and busy lifestyles that promote eating whatever's around on the run. We want to help parents help their kids
We know how tough it is to ensure our kids eat all the recommended serves of fruits and veggies - every day. We've been through the nagging, and pleading, and bribing to get out kids to eat enough of the foods that are good for them. And we know what the long term and short term mental and physical health risks are for children who don't eat enough fruits and veggies. Superfoods for Kidz' can help! Whether your kids are fussy eaters, or it's just hard to ensure they get all the goodness of a variety of fresh fruits and veggies every single day, Superfoods for Kidz' can help!

Because when the creative edge strikes💗
2016 has been an adventure and the adventure has led us here.....the kids and I have put our minds and hands together and this is what happened. We made a few sparkly sticks and hanging lights and friends asked if they could buy them. The hanging light sheds a beautiful magical light over the ceiling and walls and the sticks set a beautiful calm tone to the room or hanging over a bed. We can make to order, love working with the kids on this. Each one is different to the next so no two will look the same 💜
So far we've been offered;
$15 for a small stick
$20 for the larger sticks
$30 for the hanging light
Happy to take offers 😊
A beautiful unique gift for yourself or present at this time of year. Home and handmade with love ❤️

The kids want doughnuts instead of muffins. No need for a doughnut tin, just punch a hole with an apple corer and keep the secret. Dust them in a vanilla sugar if you fancy and you get to eat all the "doughnut holes"😉

A few months ago, as the ink still dried on his new WSOF contract, John Howard stumbled headfirst into a conversation he never expected to have. The stroll down memory lane ended up being more than small talk.

Who doesn't love to throw😉 a great way to work out those things that might have been bothering you during the day, gets you moving, and that splash is always satisfying. Try throwing with your non dominant hand, feels all kinds of weird but a good challenge for the brain/body😉 enjoy.

So after the success with the sweet potato chips on the flat bed toaster(5 mins) I decided to try the precut carrots sticks from Just Veg. 6 mins and we had carrot chips, perfect for a busy night of sports and swimming. Let me know if you give it a try 😉

It's the simple things, like getting some smoothie ingredients together the night before a busy morning, that can make the difference between having something worthy over something convenient and empty of goodness. I am ready for you Friday, almost, after a good sleep, take your time 😉

"I was 13-years-old, trying to teach my 6-year-old sister how to dive into a swimming pool from the side of the pool. It was taking quite a while as my sister was really nervous about it. We were at a big, public pool, and nearby there was a woman, about 75-years old, slowly swimming laps. Occasionally she would stop and watch us. Finally she swam over to us just when I was really putting the pressure on, trying to get my sister to try the dive, and my sister was shouting, 'but I'm afraid!! I'm so afraid!!' The old woman looked at my sister, raised her fist defiantly in the air and said, 'So be afraid! And then do it anyway!'
That was 35 years ago and I have never forgotten it. It was a revelation -- it's not about being unafraid. It's about being afraid and doing it anyway."

Ten mins of hula hooping in the direction that feels least comfortable for me, fun, free workout. #hulahoopsarecheap:) photos please???:):):))
You know those days when those delightfuls of ours can mess up your plans to do a 15 min workout, here's a job for them, let them become your weight:)
Not as easy as the kids made it like look:):))
Superbars teaching dexterity.... Ahhh the milestones are sweet:):):) On one had this will mean she's taken a small job upon herself but also means I now have how to look for an even higher shelf to keep them on:):):)
Don't lose hope, they will do it in their own time. This little man has low muscle tone, proprioception and vestibular challenges and today he got on his little sisters bike and he rode it for the first time ever:) There has been a lot of physical therapy here engaging his trunk, lots of crawling patterns, hula hooping and lots of brain gym exercises and movements, so so so worth it to see his face and hear his surprise when it all came together. Xx kicking goals mate. ###
Go Flynn:):):) He's been working on this for ages and anyone else with a child with low muscle tone and poor co-ordination will know he is working hard here. Setting us up for the next step, taking the training wheels off the bike!!! Very proud of you little man. ###
Just as important as what goes in is making sure they reach their movement requirements, model good behaviours and they will follow. ###
