This is easily my favourite time of year… Summer + Christmas = happiness. I am a Christmas tragic, so I love carols (Drummer Boy is my fav), making Christmas pudding in a cloth (thank you grandma Tilley), eating Christmas pudding (with ice-cream + brandy sauce), visiting the Christmas Tree Farm, reading Christmas books to the kids and drinking Egg Nog (or Christmas milk, as the kids call it). This issue we chat to the wonderfully talented Tiff Manuell, whose art embodies this magical time of year, with bright colours and a truly happy summery vibe, we also get the low down from Rebecca Morse on what it was like letting her eldest daughter Gracie out of her sight, travelling overseas solo for the first time, plus we get the perfect Christmas day ice cream cake recipe from the talented kitchen whiz, Annabel Bower. Enjoy your SUMMER school holidays and having the freedom to “not do anything” ! Be kind, be safe and enjoy this magical time of the year. X CC  READ HERE

The baby wearing dance with a Latino twist! Looking to change up your usual exercise routine or add in something new? Pivot Point Dance is thinking outside the square. Their Boot-Scootin Bambinos class is a baby wearing dance class designed for Mums/Dads to do while wearing their baby in a carrier. The style of dance is mainly latin and modern dancesport with basic jazz/pop style moves incorporated. Classes are designed to be suitable for all ability levels and are aimed at developing fitness whilst having fun and enjoying time with your bubba. Pivot Point Dance studio owner and choreographer Hannah Liteplo has been dancing and teaching dance for over 20 years. She specialises in various styles of Dancesport (competitive ballroom, Latin and New Vogue). She’s also a mum of three! Hannah says ‘it was important for me to create a class that was fun, nurturing and uplifting with a strong social aspect so parents could connect. Having 3 children under 6 I have learnt the value of baby wearing with each subsequent child. I believe keeping fit and healthy is really important in motherhood to help with the demands and physical strength required to look after children.’ The class is held at Go2Jo Fitness in Newton on a Tuesday morning at 9:30-10:30am. The gym also has a play area to ensure the older kiddo siblings are entertained! You can often catch Hannah and her dance class grabbing a post session coffee or going for a walk in Thornton Park, adjacent to the gym too! *Pivot Point is offering a FREE class pass to anyone who mentions KIDDO when booking in so you and bubba can get movin’ ’n’ groovin’. @pivotpointdance  Images – The Little Oak Studio

Guess what? We are 2… that’s right, 12 issues in!!! This only occurred to me the other day and my first thought was that’s amazing, and then my second was… why aren’t we having a party…? Well, the truth is… we are too busy organising our children’s birthdays and working on this issue to think about our own (insert small violin)… next year!!! This issue we grabbed a minute with one of our favourite SA women in media, Ali Clarke of ABC breakfast radio. She chats to us about the chaos that is their life (and how she wouldn’t change a thing) as well as the roles that her and her husband Matt Clarke (Crows AFLW Coach and Crows AFL ruck coach) play in raising their children. We also meet up with a group of unlikely mates in a heartwarming story about intergenerational play and the positive changes that it’s making to the lives of the young, and the young at heart! We also hear from Liv Williams, one of our very dear KIDDO writers, who heartbreakingly opens up about losing her mother last year, and the effects that it has had on her both mentally and physically. We head out to a modern day chicken shop, JOYBIRD for some fingerlicking chicken, and get to step inside the amazing new Variety Children’s Zoo with incredible inclusive facilities for every child. I hope you enjoy this issue and help us to metaphorically blow out the candles on our imaginary 2nd Birthday cake! HIP HIP HURRAY!!! X CC READ HERE

Christmas is so close, we can almost taste the pudding! A bunch of very lucky and excited KIDDOS made their way to Stardust Castle today, for the official unveiling of three brand new floats! Adelaide MP and Minister for Child Protection Rachel Sanderson said she was thrilled by the wonder and excitement from the big and little guests, as the three floats were presented for the very first time at this year’s Christmas Pageant event launch. “The National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant is the traditional start to the festive season in South Australia, and one that will see more than 320,000 young and old, happy faces lining the new pageant route,” said Minister Sanderson. “This year we welcome National Pharmacies to the Christmas Pageant family as naming rights sponsor, and over 600 of their National Pharmacies staff and members who will be taking part in the Pageant for the very first time. “The families that were at today’s launch, were mesmerized by the magical Cinderella float, delighted with the mermaid float, and very proud to welcome the new lead National Pharmacies float. Today also signals the start of one of the most anticipated countdowns on the social calendar for South Australians as we start to count our sleeps to this year’s National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant.” Brian Gilbertson, Pageant Director, National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant said, “this year’s theme, A World Full of Wonder, is to inspire everyone to share the power of wonder – wonder how? wonder why? wonder what’s possible? We want to encourage children to wonder about the world, and adults to take a moment to reflect and remember what it’s like to dream.” “The Pageant team is very proud to present our new floats, and I am sure they will be well received and loved by the thousands of Pageant fans.  We really cannot wait to see all the excited children with their big smiles on the day,” said Brian Gilbertson. National Pharmacies Chief Executive Officer Vito Borrello said, “National Pharmacies is incredibly honored and proud to play such a significant role in one of South Australia’s most traditional and beloved events. It is a wonderful celebration for children and families, and we are thrilled to be able to be part of bringing Christmas joy to South Australians. “National Pharmacies believes in community and giving back to our members and South Australian families.
