Does it cost more to be additive free?

by Additive Free Kids | Feb 21, 2020 | 2020, Additive Free Tips, What to watch out for

I can’t tell you the amount of times I have heard Mums all over Australia say that it costs so much more to be additive free: “it is so expensive to eat healthy!’ Parents tell me all the time that they want to move to additive free but have a belief...

Wish me luck!! Luckily we can hop straight back in Wish me luck!! Luckily we can hop straight back into the skills and routines that we developed on our road trip around Australia (the big lap). For the first few months we didn’t have a lot of structure or routine.... the boys floundered... they actually all do love school and learning... we found that when we brought back some routine and structure into their day they coped better and were happier. We would start our day off with a couple hours of school work (Learning) this took all different forms. It’s been a few years though... I feel that during this tumultuous time if we are able to keep some routine and structure to their day it is good for them. Everyone is different. Each family will need to work out what works for them. It may take time to develop and get it right. I am grateful we get to be isolated in our house... and not the tiny caravan now that they are all so much bigger! #homeschooling #mumoffive #mumofboys #wishmeluck #gratitude #makethebestofit #focusonnow #breathe
EveryMite is one of our beautiful small businesses EveryMite is one of our beautiful small businesses on the Additive Free Marketplace Directory. I think it is important to understand why the product is so amazing and get to know the people behind the brand. EveryMite was developed by Cinnamon for her son before she chose to share it with everyone else. Cinnamon chose only the best ingredients and made sure it was as clean as possible. Cinnamon made sure that the nutrients and the enzymes stay in tact as possible to ensure that it is as nutrient dense and value adding as possible. EveryMite has NO additives. For those that aren't aware...the ingredients in Vegemite can cause a lot of unwanted symptoms in our children. Check out our blog on our website regarding to find out more. Some tips on how to make the switch: 📌 Just put a small amount on their toast with their Vegemite then slowly change the ratio until its all EveryMite. 📌 Don't show your child the EveryMite jar (so it is obvious its not Vegemite) 📌Persistence - they may not like it at first as it is a different taste, however, they will get used to it, if that's their only option. What better time to make the switch when normal supplies aren't readily available? You can find the link to these amazing products in the bio (click through to find your local stockist or order from home and in bulk with others in your community.

I have always been passionate about connecting the I have always been passionate about connecting the AFK Community to manufacturers that are doing the right thing. This is even more important now... I created the Additive Free Marketplace to connect you with manufacturers that: ✅do the right thing ✅put your health first ✅use quality ingredients ✅are small scale and needing exposure to compete with the big buys I heard from the AFK Community saying: "Please tell us what to buy and where to buy it" please screen the products for us. That is exactly what I did for you...to save you time... The Additive Free Marketplace Directory was developed on the road when we were travelling around Australia in our caravan with our 5 boys. It was developed as a way to connect amazing artisan producers with a community searching for additive free products. I know that everyone is reeling from the changes that have been announced.... It would break my heart to see these producers go out of business when they are doing such amazing things and looking out for our health. Now....it is time to look out for them too (if you are able). Consider having a browse on the Additive Free Marketplace and supporting one of these producers. You can search by producer or by product. Their amazing goods can be delivered direct to your door. I recommend that you buy in larger quantities and split with others in your local community (they can come and collect from you). I will start showcasing these amazing producers in coming posts. Link to the Additive Free Marketplace is in the bio. #weareone #helpeachother #bekind #buylocal #supportlocal #additivefree #additivefreekids #additivefreemarketplace

It’s time to get back to basics.... Knowing wher It’s time to get back to basics.... Knowing where your food comes from. Leaving the additives in the highly processed food on the shelves. We know additive suppress our immune system. To boost our immune system we need to be buying lots of fresh fruit and veges. Perhaps we can take this extra time at home to: Teach our kids where our food comes from. Show them: Planting. Watering. Watching the miracle of food growing in our gardens. Harvesting. Preparing. Cooking. Back to basics like our grandparents before us. These skills are vital to share with our young. Let’s see pics of the abundant supplies of fruit and veg in our supermarkets rather than shelves bare of bread and pasta... #backtobasics #empowerourkids #additivefree #additivefreekids #reset

"IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE, YOU'LL "IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE, YOU'LL GET WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS GOT" Check out Jill's experiencing in trying something different. Jill and her family have only just begun their additive free journey but they are seeing amazing changes already: "We made the decision to become additive free because out of our family of 6 we have 4 very severe asthmatics and we were at our end. Frankie has been amazing! Her encouragement and support meant so much when we were super exhausted and overwhelmed with where to start. She has guided us through the journey to additive free and made it so much easier and clearer than it would have been. Being additive free has reduced our children from needing prednisone from 5 - 9 days to 3 days. We have also noticed when they have had additives a number of us have had asthma symptoms straight away that night. The food tastes so much better! Now when I eat additives, it actually doesn't taste as good as what I thought it did! Here is a picture of Leilani and I at an outdoor swimming carnival, something which would have been impossible 6 months ago!" JILL, MUM OF 4 Is it time for you to try something different? What have you got to lose? So much to gain! To find out how I can help your family, check out the details in the profile. The doors to the next intake are closing tomorrow!
