Hungry Animals

I love this clever design from Oscar Diaz.  The animal who ate the animal "hungry animals" is a stencil set and small puzzle.  Children can draw the animals, then re-arrange them to fit in to each other, genius!!

I love this DIY project from Project little smith.  Using a a wooden crate and some old skateboard wheels, this architect turned home-maker has created a versatile cubby.

H&M home collection for kids

I've always been a big fan of H&M's home collection so I was very excited to hear they are launching a collection for kids.  Hitting the stores in July.

That's Not Fair

UK born 'That's Not Fair London' is a brand new children's line set to launch their first collection this Autumn/Winter.  Launched by 2 working parents who grew tired of the limited and generic designs available for there young twin daughters.

The Label represent british heritage and are inspired by Savile Row tailoring and heavy knights from the highlands.  They introduce a collection of revised classics including trench coats and hand knitted pure wool jumpers that have been made with the same consideration to design and detail you would find in adult tailoring. 

In stores this August!

Easy Riders

UK company Kiddimoto have created a range of cool looking balance bikes.  Balance bikes, also known as ride-ons are pedal-less bikes so children can learn to balance and steer quickly.  Inspired by the Mod era and based on the motorbike classic they come in 4 different.

Fave DIY's

I am slightly obsessed with DIY projects.  I love the idea of turning something ugly into something beautiful and making something out of nothing.

Ambrosia girl is one of my fave DIY bloggers, her work is simple and stylish. 

Here's her most recent project CARD BOARD HOUSE

Little Angel

DIY'ers could make something similar with Angel wings cut out of MDF and attach it to this £4.99 Ikea Stool

Breastfeeding pillow bag

When I had my 2 boys breastfeeding seemed like the hardest job in the world!  I got through 4 months of it, but really wished I knew about this pillow.   It conveniently turns in to  a bag when done breastfeeding...... Highly portable it looks more like a fashionable bag than a cumbersome breastfeeding device and is designed to support your baby when breastfeeding or bottle feeding.

Bye bye Crocs

Thanks to US brand Native I think this is the year we can say goodbye to Crocs.  Native Shoes are just as practical but also have style (sorry crocs).  My kids will be wearing these this summer.

From £27 find more styles and colours at Alex and Alexa

Dream bedding

Australian company Bedtoppings have created these quirky and original bedcovers, prices start from $25.

Dreaming pencils is my favourite, but i'm pretty sure my boys would go for the sleepyhead chocolate.

Pink and Blue
