Milo Kids Party Bags
Aussie Parents urge their kids to get more active!

The majority of Australian children (78%) are getting less than the recommended daily amount of exercise, with one in four (28%) getting less than half, according to new research. 

To encourage youngsters to get active, MILO has launched the MILO Champions Band, a new health, fitness and activity tracker designed for kids. The band syncs to an app where parents can check on their child's activity progress, and in turn help them monitor the balance between energy input and output.

With so many images coming up in my social media newsfeeds of kids plastic drink bottles riddled with mould is enough to make me throw all of my kids drink bottles out. I have decided to rid our bottom drawer of all bottomless lids and lidless bottoms of plastic bottles. How on earth did we accumulate so many!

Now as a mum who is fiercely protective of my kids and wanting to ensure I give them the best, I did better research than the FBI on what's the best, hygienic options out there for water bottles.  After all my research ecococoon was who I went with, read the full review below.

Bounce Fit

I stand out the front of Bounce at Tingalpa ready to walk in for a session with my friend.

The only "bouncing" I have done since having two children are brief stints on our trampoline and going to the rescue at kids' bounding world.
 
I have a multitude of panicked thoughts going through my head! How on earth will I do this for 45 minutes? How will my bladder cope? (TMI?) How much will my bits wobble? No way can I do what the people on the instructional video do!  Read the full review below.
