Imagine it: warm sunshine, crystal blue water lapping at the white sand, a soft breeze, the perfect backdrop for lazy days of R&R. Unfortunately, with winter just around the corner that picture won’t be a reality for some long months yet (and Queenslanders, before you say anything, we get it. You have it great and we’re all jealous!)

Don’t give into the Winter doom and gloom just yet though! Thanks to the positive, guilt free and feel good nature of Kraft Livefree cheese you and a friend could be off to Thailand!

Kraft Livefree is Australia’s lowest fat tasty cheese. Made with only natural ingredients, Livefree products have 4 times less fat when compared to light tasty cheeses from Australia’s other leading light tasty cheese brands.

Win return flights from an Australian capital city for two to Phuket along with 7 nights twin share at the 4.5 star Best Western Premier in picturesque Khao Lak.

All you have to do for your chance to win this amazing ‘Livefree’ experience is:

1. Snap a photo of how you live free 

2. Upload the photo to Instagram with the hashtag #KraftLivefree

That’s it!

Nuffnang Bloggers and Families, get ready for an epic comedy adventure!

We are giving you and your family the chance to win passes to a special advanced screening of the MUST-SEE film for families this Easter. From the makers of Shrek and Madagascar comes the hilarious new comedy -THE CROODS! 

The Croods is a prehistoric comedy-adventure that follows the world’s first family as they embark on a journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always shielded them from danger is destroyed. Traveling across a spectacular landscape, the Croods discover an incredible new world filled with fantastic creatures — and their outlook is changed forever.

The film features the voice-talents of Emma Stone, Nicholas Cage, Ryan Reynolds, Catherine Keener and Cloris Leachman. It will be released to the general public Easter weekend in 3D, but YOU can see it first.

Thanks to 20th Century Fox, Nuffnang is hosting a private, advanced screening to share this hilarious adventure with you. You and your own wild family are invited to join us for advanced screenings in Sydney and Melbourne on March 24th, before the film hits screens on March 28.

2. Email a link or screen shot of your #NNCroods wild child response to competitions@nuffnang.com.au and let us know if you’d like tickets for Melbourne or Sydney. Get in quick! Entries close on March 18th. Winners will be notified via email on or before March 20.
