The month of August, and the holiday booked way back in January has now arrived. Time to rest and enjoy your family, sun and sea air.

August's Newsletter is sponsored by Organix

Keeping your children's diet healthy and preferably organic during the school term is hard enough, but when they are at home your routine can go to pot.

We have teamed up with Organix to provide you with a 5-a-day chart that you can print off and stick to your fridge door. Parents are given a lot of advice about encouraging children to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. But what is a portion for a young child?

The chart is devised to help you see at a glance what sort of portion you need for your child in age ranges, 1-2 years, 3-5 years and 6 and upwards.

The pure fruit Goodies pots are equal to one portion of fruit as defined by part of the Governments recommended 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day". Fabulously fruity, Organix delicious recipes are an appealing and nutritious snack at any time of the day.
