Nothing beats a frozen treat on a hot Adelaide day and they don’t have to be full of sugar and hard to pronounce ingredients.

Our best flavour combos have always come from throwing in what’s left of the frozen fruit in the freezer, adding some yoghurt or coconut water, blending up in my Magimix, freeze and cross fingers. But if you’re a recipe following type of person, here are some other ideas to try.

We love our reuseable My Lil Pouch Ice Pops because they’re reusable, come in fun colours and they’re durable, no seams splitting in the freezer with these ones. Oh and you can get 20% off using the code KIA20 when you shop online which brings a 12 pop variety pack to under 30 bucks.

  • Barristers Block - a family friendly winery

    Barristers Block is officially my favourite winery to go with kids. I've been to a number of recommended wineries from the Barossa to McLaren Vale and this has gone straight to the top of the list! Situated in Woodside in the Adelaide Hills, I recently took my English relatives to Barristers Block for lunch during a day in the hills and it didn't miss a beat. Barristers Block is a lovely winery on the main street in Woodside, just out of the main shopping area. With a huge amount of grassy lawn in different areas, I love that there is plenty of space for everyone - people with no kids can enjoy their adult day out, while those with families can make the most of their visit without worrying about annoying others.

The lawn area here has some natural shade and is also able to accommodate picnic rugs for babies, plus the owners have plenty of rustic country style tables and chairs out here too. Right next to the giant sandpit (that used to be a…
