New Wines to Drink When You’re Not ‘Drinking’

17/11/2021

The festive season is upon us, but there are occasions when you want to enjoy the celebrations without the alcohol, hangovers or calories. Leading New Zealand Winery Giesen Group has answered the call, adding two new varieties to its popular alcohol-removed* range: a low-calorie, 0%-alcohol Pinot Gris and Rosé. These two wines join Giesen’s delicious alcohol-removed New Zealand 0% Sauvignon Blanc, which sold out when it made its world-first debut in 2020. “The sell-out launch of our Sauvignon Blanc showed us that wine lovers want choices within this emerging category,” says Giesen Group Chief Winemaker Duncan Shouler. “The Giesen 0%…

Elise Kiely, the owner and director of Dance Mode Studios in Vaucluse mentions, “in addition, it gives children a chance to express emotions, such as joy and excitement and is a valuable release of their energy,” noting that it gives children a chance to shake off bad moods and enjoy being imaginative and creative. Benefits of kids dance classes don’t just end there, Elise says through her 15 years as a dance teacher she has seen “children’s self-esteem and self-confidence build and feel more…

GET THE KIDS MOVING THIS SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

11/11/2021

One of the biggest challenges modern parents face is finding ways to tear kids away from devices, reducing seemingly endless exposure to social media, gaming, YouTube and Netflix.

Their one-day and two-day action packed Motiv8sports camps, run during school holidays at Maroubra’s Heffron Park, are designed to tickle the fancy of even the most dedicated couch-loving, technology-addicted, television-obsessed children.

5 Tips on how to become more resilient.

10/11/2021

When looking back at the past 18 months, there’s no doubt it’s been a tough time to be a parent. From job instability, to juggling work and homeschooling, to trying to explain to your kids why they can’t have their birthday party this year, it was hard for many of us to put on a brave face when nothing seemed certain. On the flip side, when you look back on these tough times in a positive light, chances are these experiences have already made you a better mother and a more resilient person than who you were in February…

Randwick welcome’s SUSHI YOOHEE

09/11/2021

Meet Yoohee Sushi Yoohee restaurant takes its name from its owner, chef and inspiration; Yoohee. On her return to Australia, Yoohee studied hard and received her Diploma in Early Childhood Care.

Where and how long have you lived in Sydney’s east? We have lived in Vaucluse for 6 years but before that we lived nearby in Bellevue Hill.
