We have another teenager in the house! I love wat We have another teenager in the house! I love watching them grow... it just all happens so quickly! I will say that the teen years are definitely the most challenging when it comes to an additive free life. There is a lot of letting go required. Our teens need to make their own decisions and it hurts to see them suffer with the symptoms that we have kept at bay for over a decade. It’s all a process of helping them to connect the dots. Not feeling great? Got a sore tummy? Terrible moods? Not sleeping well? Headaches / migraines .... What was eaten in the last 24-48 hours that could have caused this? Is that food / product worth the symptoms you are experiencing? Over time they will determine the right balance for themselves. They know what it feels like to be healthy and well. They have the knowledge to return there if they need. It’s not easy! With the teenagers, it is time for me to take a back seat, and gently guide from the sidelines... What has your experience been with teenagers? #mumoffive #mumofboys #additivefree #additivefreekids #realfood #healthandwellness #knowledgeispower #teenageboys
ADDITIVE FREE TIP: Check the ice-cream in your fr ADDITIVE FREE TIP: Check the ice-cream in your freezer.... Does it contain Water? If it does, this means that your ice-cream will contain many additives. Water is used in place of more expensive ingredients such as milk and cream. To get the flavour, colour and texture of ice-cream, additives are needed to achieve a product that is similar to the real deal. If you are looking for an alternative ice-cream without so many additives, come and check out our latest ice-cream product review (over 30 different ice-creams were reviewed). These products are then ranked according to the AFK Community's ratings of: AVOID BETTER OK BEST No matter where you are at on your additive free journey, you are provided with the information to make informed decisions. The product reviews take a LOT of time to compile, review and rank. However, they are prepared for our Additive Free Advocates that are serious about their short and long term health and equipping themselves with the knowledge to provide better choices for their family (wherever they are at). All the hard work is done for you. All you need to do, is go and vote with your dollar! Voting with your dollar it the single greatest action you can take in sending a message back to manufacturers that you are tired of them putting profits above your family's health. Come and join us, you get immediate access to the latest product review and our past catalogue of reviews which includes: - Chocolate - Crackers - Bread - Wraps and many more!! (All product reviews have gluten free and dairy free alternatives too). You also get access to our supermarket shopping database, additive free recipes, Q&A's, private community for support. So much value! The next product review coming up for February is muesli bars - this will be an essential read as we head back to school! I invite you to check out the benefits of becoming an Additive Free Advocate....the link is in the bio. A small price to pay for the knowledge to make safe choices for your kids for 2021. #additivefreekids #additivefreeicecream #additivefreeproductreview #additivefreeblogger #withknowledgecomeschange #votewithyourdollar

What an amazing year it has been. Full of highs a What an amazing year it has been. Full of highs and lows. Our community has grown substantially, come together and supported each other through these difficult times. We have stood together as we have championed for better regulations to protect our kids, emulsifiers being added to our fresh fruit and veges and so much more. Together we vote with our dollar in the supermarkets. This year we have seen as a result of our product reviews, once highly popular products pulled from our supermarket shelves once consumers learned the truth behind the label. Together we stood side by side when manufacturers didn’t like the truths we shared. Our community voice is growing louder. We are creating change with our Additive Free Advocates as they ripple out into their communities. I look forward to continuing this important work with each and everyone of you in the new year. We are making a difference for our kids! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas tomorrow in whatever form that takes for you and family. Lots of love from my family to yours Frankie 😘 #additivefree #additivefreekids #noadditives #youradvocate #additivefreeadvocate #votewithyourdollar #healthbeforeprofits #protectourkids #mumlife #healthyfood #cleanfood #realfood #mumofboys #mumoffive #asthma #hyperactivity #headaches #gastrointestinalissues #hives #rashes #asthma #ditchtheadditives

Coming up in the Additive Free Advocates: ICE-CRE Coming up in the Additive Free Advocates: ICE-CREAM! Our Additive Free Advocates have been hard at work sending though their pics of their family's favourite ice-cream tubs (or the ones that grandparents or other well meaning family members share). I have been busy beavering away analysing and ranking all the ingredients...there are some essential insights that you need to know to avoid: - hyperactivty - meltdowns - tummy aches - behavioural issues from your ice-creams. Despite petitioning manufacturers, these ingredients are still in our ice-creams. The ice-cream review will be released to the Additive Free Advocates on the 1st January. If you haven't joined us yet, why don't you give yourself a gift of health and knowledge to equip you for the coming year with the essential knowledge you need to keep your family additive free. Being additive free, extends way past "just the numbers" that you will find in Chemical Maze, Additive Alert etc....Manufacturers know that you are becoming more and more educated every day. It can be very overwhelming trying to work out what ingredient is safe and which isn't. Often the information isn't declared on the label at all. It is a full time job keeping up with what manufacturers are doing to our food. To reduce the overwhelm - you can make small incremental changes on a monthly basis where I have done all the hard work for you. If you join the Additive Free Advocates (link in profile) today, you still can vote on what February's product review will be (at this stage, it is looking like muesli bars). You will also get access to our previous product review catalogues, our searchable supermarket shopping database, Q&A's, amazing community and more. Such amazing value.... Everything we do here at Additive Free Kids is about our kids. My kids, your kids, our kids. They are being taken advantage of! Their systems are so young and immature to cope with the onslaught of additives in our food. There isn't enough regulation to protect them. You and your family deserve this knowledge...your kids are worth it. #additivefree #additivefreekids #productreview #icecream #votewithyourdollar #protectourkids
In heaven... I hear so often from people - “you In heaven... I hear so often from people - “you are depriving your kids when you only give them additive free”. Hmmm... this doesn’t look like the face of a deprived child! Pure joy and content as the flavour combinations of real food hits his taste buds. Nothing tastes better than real food! When kids have only eaten real food and they try what all the other kids usually eat they can’t understand the fuss. I’ll often hear - but it doesn’t even taste good, you can taste the chemicals! So additive free kids aren’t deprived. Actually they enjoy the deepest, richest flavours that real food provide without all the nasty short and long term side effects. Have you heard this when you tell people you choose additive free? #additivefreekids #additivefree #nonasties #noadditives #mumoffive #mumofboys #realfood #realfoodtastesbetter #healthbeforeprofits #healthbeforewealth #peoplebeforeindustry #votewithyourdollar #additivefreeadvocates
