Monday Must Have: Boon spoon me
Bonjour! How awesome does this look?! Those brilliant boys and girls at Boon have invented the squirty spoon for the weaning mama-on-the-move and the weblog world is going mad for it. Fill the funky chunky handle with a puree or yoghurt, and then gently squeeze it onto the spoon for your little one to lap … Continue reading
unusual baby pictures – special or strange?
All mamas hope to capture the perfect picture of their newborn and there’s nothing wrong with injecting some personality into it, or signing up for some seriously cute stereotyping (fluffy rugs/towels and a little bare bottom etc). But I’m not so sure these shots have achieved that ‘ahhhhh’ factor. Granted, they showcase the incredible deep-sleep … Continue reading

kids clothes – getting it right and the gorgeous GRO collection
Have you ever wished you could trade in your wardrobe for it’s combined cost and start over? I’ve even day-dreamed about doing this to the boy’s overstuffed drawers – he seems to end up with heaps of high street stuff that mostly fits and sort of matches. It’s so easy to fall into the habit … Continue reading
Monday Must Have: fluttery wall art
These beautiful little 3D butterflies are super-now in nursery interiors. I first saw them on Ohdeedoh (the best site for kids room inspiration) and traced them down to a stateside Etsy seller called Almost Sunday. You can either choose retro text printed butterflies, or a mix of colours and patterns of your choosing. The seller … Continue reading
babies don’t keep
Oh, they grow so fast. The babe is blossoming, and I’m trying to make every moment into a memory. I love these images- wish I’d got my act together from month 1 but better late than never! Have got an adorable mini Poang armchair from Ikea I must start snapping her in, and will post … Continue reading
Monday Must Have: Trumpette
The babe is too cute with bows on her toes, courtsesy of Trumpette. We have the Lucy variety – 5 pairs of stretchy soft socks with matching satin bows stitched on the front in sophisticated shades of indigo, olive, raspberry, liquorish and jade. You could also opt for Mary-Janes or the awesome little dude version, … Continue reading
confessions, digressions and donkeys
OK so someone once told me that having kids is basically a relentless decent into monotony, with occasional elements of incomparable elation. Or something like that. That’s totally extreme but I guess I get the sentiment – lots, lots, LOTS of the same, and just when you’re just going stir-crazy, your toddler picks you a … Continue reading
Monday Must Have: Phil & Teds NEST
The Nest was sent to me to try out for this review, but the opinions are definatley mine & the mans!
Monday Must Have: Maya Sling Ring
What to do? Its rained and rained and rained and poured. And my umbrella was broken. So the boy turned it into a ‘rainedabout.’ Genius. Clever-clog blog shout-out also goes to my olive green Maya Wrap Ring Sling – which boy calls the kangaroo pouch. It’s so useful though and am using it heaps – … Continue reading
mark it on the map
There’s a bit of a traveler trapped inside me at the moment…maybe because my bro is off to Miami again this morning! I love my life and location, but can’t wait to hit the serious road again, to watch the kids experience new places and faces, to smile, to survive and to learn the value … Continue reading

itchy feet
I spent much of last night soothing squished, sleepy children as we made the journey south to see family. We’d planned for a leisurely day of travel and trips on Sunday, but suddenly decided to beat the heat-wave and headed off in haste last night. My truly wonderful sister came over to care for the … Continue reading
pass-on-pieces
When it comes to mini fashion, I’d rather buy something delicious & designer and wear it out, than fritter away funds on wear-once cheap & cheerful. Cost-per-wear calculations make the more expensive stuff better value in the long run. However, with a toddler boy and a teeny girl, I anticipate a strain on my spending … Continue reading
the name game
Here’s a slightly more serious than stylish post for the day, inspired by Cup Of Jo blogger Joanna Goddard, who posted on a fun way to assess names you like for your newborn. Imagine your friend has been set up on a blind date with someone of that name – what impression would you have … Continue reading

Just so you know – there’s major love for our new urban uptown inline wheels! More on the all new Phil & Teds Verve soon – busy being brilliantly out-and-about at the moment….
brown boxes
White will always win for me. Black becomes it’s best companion. And then I rate brown. Real, raw, boxy brown. Our Phil & Teds Verve arrived in possibly the most stylish of brown boxes I’ve ever have the privilege to take delivery of. Other browns I love – My Moleskine Cahier Plain pocket journals, a … Continue reading
be my brit baby
World-wide-wedding fever is starting to subside post royal nuptials – but riding high on the coat-tails of all that craziness is the fact that Britain is basically brilliant. Before you bung all that bunting in the bin, check out these cool ways for kids to fly the ‘Rule Britannia’ flag (and at bargain prices as … Continue reading
perfect baby present
Oh. I’m still pregnant. Whilst waiting, I’ve formed an attachment (irrational I admit) to this lovely little wooden tinkly bell rattle. It’s so stylish, so white, so sweet. Loving the fun coloured versions too, but this one wins my want-it for today. If you feel similarly smitten, you’ll find the best online price is from … Continue reading
