Shopping for a toddler boy
Wilkie, who turns two next week !!, is officially potty-trained. Hooray! It gives me such pleasure knowing I will never have to do that again! Five babies down.... no more to go...! Haha. (Of course there are plenty more parenting challenges to face, but potty-training thankfully isn't one of them.) Anyway, I had forgotten what ...

Teen Breathe - a new magazine for teenagers
One of my favourite things to do on a plane or train is to pick up a magazine at the newsagents. I sit down and take my time looking at pictures, reading articles and seeing what is up and what's new. I get anything from fashion, interior design to current affairs. The great thing in ...

At what age do you leave your kids home alone at night?
I had a revelation the other day when my youngest daughter told me that she had spent the evening entertaining the guest. The guest in this case was the 19-year-old babysitter whom I was paying good money to! This is when I realized that my kids were probably fine at staying home alone and very ...

Brilliantly Designed Board Books for Toddlers from Quarto Kids
The excitement of new books never goes away in our home. Whether it is a trip to the library or a new book for a birthday gift, we always get excited for a new book. But I must say quite honestly, that as a mama of three kids, board books don't often spark joy any ...

Le Petit Germain, comfortable and stylish children's fashion from Paris
Le Petit Germain is a beautiful brand from Paris, with a history of mother and grandmothers knitting under the magnolia tree of their family home. They watched little ones play, run, stumble and get up, entranced in their own world. And they created soft and comfortable clothes which were respectful of delicate, young skin and ...

Canopea Swimwear -- truly our family's favourite
I've been a longtime fan of this swimwear brand, since the very first collection from five years ago. In fact, we have some of the much-loved 5-year-old rash shirts still going strong! And living near the beach, my kids wear their rash shirts practically more than they wear shoes, so this alone is a testament ...

Our Sunday constitutional
We have a routine in our house, which, until now, I hadn't even identified as as routine. On Sunday I drag everyone out of the house for a Sunday constitutional, as I like to call it: a Sunday stroll. We do this in most weather conditions and it is one of my favourite moments of ...

Indi Kids -- come find them at the ShopUp in NYC!
On first glance, the beautiful indigo-dyed clothing featured above looks like it could come from a local label here in Byron Bay. There is a natural, bohemian vibe to these pretty pieces that looks right at home on the beach, paired with bare feet and happy smiles. Indi Kids is, however, a Brooklyn-based brand of clothing founded ...

Mrs Wordsmith
I find teaching kids how to read and expanding their vocabulary such an interesting subject. There are so many different theories and there are so many different methods out there, which makes it hard to figure out what works. Children are also so very different. One of my kids picked up a book at age ...

Stay and Bird, organic sweatshirts with sweet illustrations
As I'm writing this, I hear the wind howling outside and the rain is coming down in buckets from the sky. It seems that autumn is upon us here in Amsterdam! Even though I love summer (I find it by far the easiest season), I also like the specific characteristics of the other seasons. (Even ...

Summer is arriving and we did not even see it coming! One day it is cold and grey and then next the sun is everywhere and people are walking in the streets with a big smile on their face! I do love this time of year. Summer also means digging out all the summer clothes ...
