Swifty Scooters -- a fun and safe way to explore and travel
In my ever continuing search to find the ideal transport to cross Paris easily and quickly -- I have come to the conclusion that travelling independently, i.e. with wheels or by foot, is the best way to get from A to B. First and foremost it lets us enjoy the beautiful city we live in. ...

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 ...

PLAY etc. -- fun clothes for playful girls!
Summer has started here in the southern hemisphere and we've already had our taste of hot, sunny days and balmy hard-to-sleep nights. So hot, it's hard not to want to spend all day in your swimsuit, or better yet, in the ocean. Thankfully, my friend Bronwyn has just launched a brand of girls' clothing perfect ...

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 ...

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 ...

A capsule collection with Nellie Quats!
When the lovely Elinor from Nellie Quats approached me last year about creating a capsule collection, I knew immediately this was a perfect opportunity to work with one of my favourite brands, learn a little about the design process, and (selfishly!) create the perfect pieces for my kids. Immediately I thought of Ivy, who is ...

Anyware Kids -- a unisex brand of children's clothing that grows with your child
A friend sent me an email a few weeks ago telling me about Anyware, a new UK-based children's brand, and I loved it the second I saw it! So much so, that I ordered a pair of the overalls for Wilkie and Marlow! They are so cute! The majority of the Anyware pieces are unisex, with ...

Get reading with Storytime Magazine!
The other day I was saying to my husband: we really should find some more gripping things to read for Fergus, our seven-year-old son. His sisters love reading and being read to, but our boy, well… he could use a little bit of encouragement. It must have been a sign -- Esther, the next day, ...

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 ...

Tips for curly hair
I have the most boring hair in the world -- straight and, especially since having children, super thin. So I am a wee bit jealous of my daughter Coco's lovely, mop of curly hair, ringlets and all. I am, however, not jealous of all the knots she gets in her hair. Many a tear has ...

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 ...
