Gather your foodie friends, young and old, because all the delectable, delights of Adelaide’s Eastern Suburbs are coming under one roof this April!  If you are a local, you’ll know that there is a deliciously diverse array of cuisines to be found in Adelaide’s east and if you’re not it’s time to discover! The City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters has decided to bring them together to celebrate everything the area has to offer!  Featuring a market of authentic produce, fresh ingredients and pantry staples that can be found within the local area, Food Secrets at the Green brings together an eclectic mix of fare and flavours created by food and beverage manufacturers located within the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters. Part of the inaugural Adelaide Food Fringe program, the free event will also feature cooking demonstrations, live music, wine and gin tastings and kids’ cooking classes, run by Scoffed Cooking School. City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters Mayor, Robert Bria, said: “We’re lucky to have such a vast selection of high quality food and drink manufacturers in our suburbs.

Busy Mum Life-Hack Alert We all know the benefits of incorporating fitness into our lives, but is that always enough motivation to juggle your schedules and get you to the gym? Studio Pilates is a state-of-the-art, scientifically-based way of transforming your entire body in the quickest time possible, making it perfect for busy mums and business women. Instructor designed classes also mean you’re saved the mental hassle of designing your own work-out or choosing what machine to go on next. Norwood instructor, and owner, Joanne Thiele tailors forty minute Pilates reformer classes that are fast paced and intense, delivering incredible total body sculpting workouts. Studio Pilates is currently situated in Norwood, Adelaide, Henley and soon-to-be Unley in 2020! We spoke to KIDDO publisher Charlotte and 3 other busy, local mums and business women about the benefits of Pilates: Name: Charlotte Chambers Occupation: Mumma and Publisher @ Kiddo Mag How long have you been doing SP? 2 years-ish How many times do you attend per week? 2 – 3 Why did you start? I have never been someone that has exercised regularly or really enjoyed exercising. I have always liked the thought of reformer Pilates, bouncing around with your feet in straps looked like fun… and it was. I started and haven’t stopped, the workout is fun, fast and incredibly challenging. I do the 6:30am classes which fit perfectly into my hectic life. The trainers are fantastic and welcome everyone of all ages, sizes and abilities. What results have you seen? Well.. I can lift 19 bags of shopping out of the car and into the house without breaking a sweat, wrestle a toddler off the playground with ease, it has also changed my body shape. There is something empowering about building muscle…you don’t realise how much you need it in your daily life. Name: Rebecca Morse Occupation: Newsreader / Radio host How long have you been doing SP? Since the start of 2019 How many times do you attend per week? 2-3. The Hit107 team does a session every Monday morning in the city and I sneak off to the Henley Beach studio every Sunday morning before the kids are up. I try to fit a third in whenever I can. Why did you start? I was worried when I started working in breakfast radio that my exercise routine would go out the window, so when I discovered Studio Pilates was across the road from Hit107 it was the perfect solution. The Henley Beach studio has become part of my weekend routine as well. What results have you seen? My core is stronger and more defined and that horrendous burn in the glutes has been worth it! I think my terrible posture has also improved. Name: Ally Aoukar Occupation: Director of Events & Socials @ Out In The Paddock How long have you been doing SP? I joined SP back in early March and have been doing it for 10 months. How many times do you attend per week? I try and attend 3 – 4 classes a week Why did you start? Since I was 23 I have always done some form of PT or gym routine. After my second baby I found it difficult to fit in a gym workout that gave me the results I wanted without feeling like I needed to punish my body. Turning 40 this year I had a realisation, I wanted to accept, nourish and honour my body. I had done Pilates previously at other studios but never felt it was for me. Trying Studio Pilates was the best thing I ever did. The instructors are welcoming, warm and encouraging. It’s the best way to start my day. It’s a quick workout that also allows you to be mindful of your body and to connect with it. The instructors push me beyond my limits while allowing me to listen to my body by giving it time to rest when it’s also needed. What results have you seen? It’s changed my body in shape, tone, strength and the mental change is for me by far the best thing. I want to continue to nourish my body and engage in activities that strengthen and benefit it for the rest of my life. I don’t want to feel like I have to punish my body to get results. It’s the best fit for me at this stage in my life. Name: Belinda Petersen Occupation: Director of BPPR, a results-driven public relations & strategic communications agency How long have you been doing SP? Since Jo opened the Norwood studio three years ago. I just hit over 300 classes – woohoo! How many times do you attend per week? I aim for 3 times per week. It’s the perfect start to the day – it clears my head ahead of a busy day full of meetings, non-stop emails, and the morning school rush! Why did you start? I have scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and visited the physio regularly. With two young boys (Jack 12, Hunter 7) and a job that requires a lot of computer work, I found that quite often (monthly!) I would be heading to the physio due to chronic neck and lower back pain. What results have you seen? Since starting Studio Pilates, my visits to the physio have been rare. In general, I am definitely stronger and leaner – there’s still a six pack under there waiting to come out though! As a non-stop mum who owns and runs a busy PR Agency, I find the 40-minute classes are the perfect length too.

NEW COLLECTION – FAMILY TIES/ AW20 GOLDIE + ACE ARE GOING BACK TO THE FUTURE… FOR THE FUTURE As children of the 80’s and 90’s, Goldie + Ace designers Alana Tiller and Chris Kontos know all too well the beauty of a well-loved hand-me-down. A time when many kids clothes were made to last, and designed for fun, when Kerplunk was life and Alf ruled the world. Goldie + Ace’s brand-new collection ‘Family Ties’ takes inspiration from retro fashion, family values, and growing up in Australia. You’ll find the coolest acid washed drop waist jeans (the Mini Mom Jean), soft corduroy overalls ( or dungarees as mum would say, colourful jersey skivvy’s (I mean, who didn’t rock a skivvy in the 80’s?!) and old school parkas (that even have zip-off sleeves). Ever since their launch in 2017, Goldie + Ace’s focus has been centered around creating quality garments that are in-line with their mantra of ‘buy less, wear it more, then pass it on’. Their aim has always been to create a shopping experience that leaves a minimal footprint on the planet. Director/Designer Tiller says, “We live in a time where every purchase should be considered. A time where we all need to take a more responsible and thoughtful approach to the consumption of fashion and our children’s wardrobes.” Their commitment to using only compostable or reusable packaging components (if planted in soil, their e-store thank you cards will actually grow daisies!) is a big step towards a better future. Director / Designer Kontos says, “Now is the time to act and think about the future of our planet. Brands can’t achieve 100% ethical and sustainable practises, but all the little things definitely help the movement.” Goldie + Ace is stocked exclusively in selected boutiques across Australia and internationally. Being wore by celebrity children including Bodhi, Forest and Poet (Children of actors Teresa Palmer & Mark Webber) Billie, Darcy and Tom Judd (Children of AFL royalty Bec and Chris Judd), Zion & Gia Clark (Children of Aussie model Nicole Trunfio & music mogul Gary Clark Jr), Goldie Ellis (Daughter of Lindy Klim. Goldie + Ace Family Ties Winter collection will be released on the 1st of March. \   SEE MORE OF THE COLLECTION: goldieandace.com

Emma. Film Review Written by Kasey Chambers Release Date: 13 February 2020 Rated PG – Mild Themes and Brief Nudity 125 minutes All that is old is new again as adaptations of Dr Doolittle, Little Women and The Secret Garden grace our screens again in 2020. It’s little wonder then that we should find ourselves at an advance screening for Emma., the fifth film adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic tale of the meddling matchmaker, Emma Woodhouse. Autumn de Wilde’s directorial debut is scattered with moments of light-hearted comedy, visual splendour and a swoon-worthy Mr Knightley (played by Johnny Flynn). Anya Taylor-Joy brings Emma’s headstrong haughtiness to light via a nuanced expression that reveals the intricacies of youthful overconfidence and the loneliness, anger and shame that at times lingers beneath the surface. Bill Nighy, Mia Goth and Miranda Hart are a superb supporting cast, balancing moments of brevity and raw humanity with aplomb. Jane Austen may have described Emma Woodhouse as her “heroine whom no one but myself will much like”, however it is hard to not like de Wilde’s playful romp around the English countryside. Whilst this latest retelling is hardly revolutionary (surely, nothing will ever top Clueless for a reinterpretation!) it will make for a lovely night out with friends, or a classic introduction for your kiddo to the world of Jane Austen.

The Linear Park trail takes in the beautiful, natural environment of Newenham, while providing a leisurely two-kilometre walk, ride or run into the retail and dining heart of Mount Barker. The kiddos will be able to discover the natural wonders surrounding them in an environment built to foster creativity and ignite imaginations, with the bio-diversity corridor, native vegetation, wetlands and a viewing platform creating an enchanting experience for the whole family to explore together. The future King’s Baptist Grammar School’s second campus will allow you to wave goodbye to the kids from your doorstep as they walk or pedal safely off to school. If you now find yourself dreaming about the bigger blocks; wide, landscaped streets; and enriched lifestyle that comes from living at Newenham, then look further. They have recently announced their second major land release – The Homestead Release – with magnificent allotments available ranging from 600-950sqm. There’s plenty of room for your family to grow, explore and live the life you’ve always dreamed of at Newenham. Our Story: Ben and Robyn The larger blocks and open spaces were important to us, with everything we need included in the masterplan. It’s relaxed, like country living should be, but still close to everything we need and the trail allows our whole family to safely access Mt Barker and the Laratinga Wetlands on the same path weaving through Newenham. With a lot of new families moving in, the community vibe is so valuable. The kids are regularly out playing together in the street, reminding us of when we were kids. They have already made close friendships with neighbouring families and we feel safe letting them walk to their houses. Personally, for us, we are so happy that Newenham has given our children plenty of room to run around and just be kids. We love it here.

#powertothepeople What a heavy time the Christmas break was…. The fires and the devastation of our country was, and is, really hard to comprehend. The loss of human life, the millions of animals, businesses and houses devastated… but the overwhelming goodwill and generosity of the people has given us hope in a very dark period. We must remember that this is a marathon of recovery not a sprint and to dig deep whenever and wherever we can… On a lighter note, this issue we are celebrating the FESTIVAL SEASON and all of the magic and wonder that comes with MAD MARCH. We delve into some of the top shows, attractions and events with a comprehensive guide to the Fringe, Adelaide Festival and WOMAD. We have information, competitions and interviews. We profile the enigma that is Evelyn Roth who is the creative mastermind and textile artist behind Nylon Zoo @ WOMAD. She is 80+ years young and creates a magical world for the young (and young at heart!) to experience, play and learn about our beautiful environment and ecosystem. We hope you enjoy this issue and continue to show kindness and generosity wherever you can to help rebuild our beautiful country. #powertothepeople Charlotte X  READ ISSUE 14 HERE 

Take a Look in the Book Nook Libraries are no longer places that you are told to be quiet, they are a community and a meeting place for all kinds of activities! Kiddos these days are even luckier than we were. As well as books, there are now magazines, toys, computers, performances, workshops and games all at their fingertips! Over 600,000 South Australians have an active one-library membership card, and between them they borrowed 15.2million items last year! From an eco perspective, libraries are a good place to reuse and recycle in a world where we over consume. They are also cost effective! Libraries offer free internet and computer access, lend out CDs and DVDs. Many also host JP services, and lend out toys, computer tablets, and sometimes even garden equipment! Libraries are magical places that facilitate discovery, creativity and imagination from a very young age. They’re often the first place that you fall down the rabbit hole, conquer the high seas, attend Wizard School or battle a pirate.They pave the way to a world of learning and often play an important role in shaping our entire perspective. We all fondly look back on the experiences derived from fairytales and stories as a kid. It’s almost even more fun when you have your own children to relive the enchantment all over again. Libraries have become one of our favourite places to meet, with many even incorporating cafes and meeting rooms, that are used by a huge variety of community groups. They are places for mother’s groups to relax and have a coffee or students to find a quiet place to study. They run programs that bring people from all walks of life together, including story time, summer reading clubs, English as a second language, online gaming, digital literacy courses and book discussion groups. State councils operate 100 libraries and co-fund another 40 school based, joint-use libraries in rural and remote areas. Combined, councils invested $127million in the provision of libraries and cultural services last financial year(supported by $18.5million of State Government funding). So next time you need a book-nook, study area, bit of fun or even some equipment, look no further than your local library.  For more information go to lga.sa.gov.au/part-of-your-everyday [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column] [/et_pb_row] [/et_pb_section]

Sixth Annual Birthday for Babies event to be held in remembrance of babies lost to stillbirth Event Details: WHAT: Birthday For Babies WHEN: Wednesday 12 February 2020 TIME: 4pm – 7pm WHERE: Partridge House Gardens, 38 Partridge Street, Glenelg, SA TICKETS: Gold coin entry Australia’s only charity dedicated to raising awareness of stillbirth is hosting its sixth consecutive remembrance event in Adelaide this February. Still Aware is inviting all members of the community to attend their twilight market and live butterfly release. Held at Partridge House in Glenelg on Wednesday February 12, the event is an initiative by Still Aware to help support families who have experienced stillbirth. In Australia, 6 babies are stillborn every day. According to Still Aware Founder and CEO, Claire Foord, the event not only provides an opportunity for parents but also their families and friends who have supported them through one of the most difficult times in their lives. “When my daughter Alfie would have been celebrating her first birthday, I sought ways to celebrate her life, rather than commemorate her death and found that there wasn’t really anything out there. Birthday for Babies originated because of this, designed to celebrate and honour those babies that can’t be here with us. A birthday party for all in honour and remembrance of our children.” says Foord. “We wanted to create a birthday feel, with sensitivity, a few market stalls and most importantly a live butterfly release to symbolise their little lives flying over us”, explains Foord. “There is very little celebration when faced with such devastation, the event provides emotional support and safe space for families who have experienced stillbirth – or any infant loss.” The local community is encouraged to attend the event. Still Aware has continued to expand the event to accommodate the whole community, including a growing market area, a new healing space, food, music and a kid’s zone. Alex Warren experienced the devastation of delivering her son Alfie stillborn on 11th July 2017. Alex and her husband Scott have been attending the Birthday for Babies event every year since, and they describe the event as a safe and peaceful environment to celebrate their son along with other parents who have experienced loss. “To speak about our son with other bereaved families really helped me. I felt so alone and harboured so much guilt for what had happened before talking with other bereaved parents”, says Warren. “Now our friends, family and even the wider community are talking about stillbirth and remembering our son, and it means the world to us”, explains Warren. “It shows that despite Alfie’s life being so short, it meant something, and his death had an impact that will last a lifetime.” “Stillbirth is still birth and these little lives are never little losses. Many stillbirths are preventable, but sadly stillbirth remains the leading cause of infant death in Australia” says Foord. “So while we will continue to honour those babies no longer with us every February, ultimately our goal every year is to see more of the community rally and show support and celebrate these little lives.” About Stillbirth in Australia: • Every day in Australia, 6 babies are stillborn, a statistic that has not changed in 20 years. • Stillbirth is defined as the death of a baby beyond 20 weeks gestation • Up to 60% of stillbirths occur at term or in the third trimester [1] • Did you know? Mothers monitoring their babies movements daily in the third trimester resulted in a 30% reduction in stillbirth in Norway. [2] About Still Aware: • Still Aware is the first internationally recognised not-for-profit charity solely dedicated to ending preventable stillbirth, through awareness and education. • Still Aware advocates that stillbirth is a national crisis for Australia, with over 2,000 families every year suffering the loss of their baby in traumatising circumstances. Stillbirth is currently the leading cause of infant death in Australia. • The organisation seeks to challenge behaviours and help change habits to save lives. Through cross platform awareness and education initiatives, Still Aware promotes and provides information backed by research. • Still Aware offers FREE information for all, including FREE education programs for care providers and expectant families Australia wide. • Through national education and awareness programs, Still Aware works to encourage clinicians and expectant parents to communicate better during pregnancy. birthdayforbabies.com.au FACEBOOK EVENT
