Our top 5 horror movies as a café and snack brand 👻

Honestly, nothing scares us more than a broken coffee machine on a Friday morning at the park.

Which one would haunt you most? 👇

100% natural, 100% yum! Because everybody deserves to snack better!! 🤤❤️🧑🏻‍🍳

Things nobody tells you about starting a snack brand. Part 4 🚚

Today’s lesson: learning how to correctly wrap a pallet 😂🤯

Building a brand is basically one big “learn as you go” moment.

And now we can report, we are officially pallet-wrap qualified!!! 💪💪

FINAL DAY TO SAVE! 🍂

The weather is cooling down, and so is our LOWER AUTUMN PRICE 👀

Thank you for all your kindness and community support - ALWAYS! 🫶🏻Watching our cookies become a big part of so many family routines, means so much 🥹❤️

Autumn park mornings are officially our favourite! 🍂🤠

Cold fingers. Hot coffees. Kids with muddy knees.
Parents pretending they’re not counting down to bedtime already 😂

But honestly… this is the stuff we LOVE.

Fresh air, wild little humans, a snack break somewhere between the slide and the swings, and that feeling of being out in the world together.

Just happy kids, good snacks and a whole lot of park magic.

See you at the park!

Ever flipped over a kids’ snack pack and thought…

WAIT. WHAT EVEN IS THAT?! 😅

Same. So our Gingies skip the stuff we don’t think belongs in kids’ biscuits.

🚫 No artificial colours
🚫 No artificial flavours
🚫 No preservatives

Just simple, wholesome ingredients, a whole lot of YUM and that little bit of Cubbyhouse magic ✨🌈

Because happy kids deserve snacks made with a bit more care, a bit more fun and a lot less “wait… what is that ingredient?” energy.

Now that’s our kind of snack!!

PS - One more week to save on our Autumn low prices at woolies, hurry!!!

WE. ARE. OBSESSED! 🌈🛝🤩

And after 16 and a half years of encouraging families to get outside, put down the screens and spend quality time together….being ranged within brands that (also) genuinely promote HAPPY KIDS…just feels so right!!

Term 2 Lunchboxes are here - and the trio of Gingerbread are on HIGH rotation in our house 🍪🎒✨

We always try to balance our lunchboxes with:
🍎 3 things from Nature
🍪 2 high-quality Snacks (like our ‘100% natural, 100% yum!’ Gingies)
🥪 1 filling Savoury

With the cooler months creeping in, we’d LOVE to know…what HOT LUNCH options are your little crew loving at school right now? 🍝🌽🍜
-HOW are they travelling by lunchtime? 👀
-And HOW do you store/transport said HOT LUNCHES 💼

EASY HOT LUNCH INSPO NEEDED PLS…..💫🙌

As two sisters raised by an incredibly hardworking single mum…COMMUNITY was a big part of our upbringing. If Mum was at work - we’d be at the surf club or the football club or playing sport somewhere across the state.
It takes a village…and it really did for us 🌈💖

Growing up, we watched our mum work so hard to give us the best in life. There was always COMMUNITY around us - which is why creating one….has become so important to both of us now 🏡

Between raising Navy, growing Cubbyhouse Canteen into what is today - and then trying to juggle all the chaos that comes with both 😅….we’ve learnt just how much women carry, EVERY- SINGLE - DAY!!! 💪👑💗⚖️

So with Mother’s Day coming up, we wanted to ask OUR COMMUNITY to SHARE:

What is one thing your Mum did that helped shape the type of parent YOU are today??

We’d genuinely LOVE to hear your answers..

Some stories start in a boardroom…

Ours started in the park 🤍🌳

It’s still about the same thing it’s always been about…
community, connection, and creating something families genuinely love 💛

If you’ve ever visited us in the park, supported us along the way, or spotted Gingies on the shelves, thank YOU.

You’re a big part of this story! 🍪💖🛝

It all comes back to one word… play 💕

The messy, joy filled, run around the park kind.
The kind where imaginations run wild and snacks somehow end up everywhere 😂

It’s what we grew up on. It’s what shaped us.
And it’s the feeling we’ve always wanted Cubbyhouse to bring to families.

Because childhood should feel like this.
Free. Fun. A little bit chaotic (in the best way).

And if we can be even a small part of that, in lunchboxes, park hangs, school snacks or after-sport treats…
that’s everything to us 💛

Here’s to more play, every single day.

See you at the park! 👋

CUBBY CAM IS BACK 🎥

And Ruby (age 9) has entered the chat 😂

She came, she saw and she absolutely owned that microphone.

Just kids, good vibes - and real talk in the playground 💛

See you out the park! 👋

Hundreds of people turned up to Malvern Town Hall to protest for us.

Honestly? We didn’t fully understand the impact our business was having until that day.

That moment gave us goosebumps then…and it still does now!!! 🥹🥰

Our community showing up like that - was the spur we needed then and continues to be drawn on….to push through every obstacle since.

This is why you keep going. Thank YOU Armadale 🙌

Taking a quiet moment this morning to remember those who served and sacrificed.

Feeling really grateful for the little things, our families, our community, and the everyday moments we get to share ❤️

How lucky are we to call this beautiful patch of green home.

For those heading to the park today we are open normal trading hours.
