Busy little bee

Bugaboo are synonymous with style when it comes to prams, and their newest addition to their range is no exception. This snazzy little number weighs only 7.7kg, making it easy to carry up steps or toss into your car or a taxi. The comfortable ergonomic and well padded seat of the Bee is reversible, so your child can face toward you or away. It also reclines to 4 different positions making it suitable from birth. The large underside basket gives you plenty of storage space, and the Bee’s narrow width (just 51cm) makes it easy to slide through even the tightest spaces. The best thing… the price tag is a lot easier to swallow than the Cameleon. Available at Baby Bunting.

Now how could I justify getting a second pram…. ?

Nip and Tuck

I am not making a statement about cosmetic surgery, but this book raises a lot of questions about what we are teaching the next generation. From what I understand the book is a tool for mums to explain to their kids that because they are “ugly” they need to have a tummy tuck and nose job to make them “beautiful”. Complete with pectorally enhanced Dr. Michael the plastic surgeon this book doesn’t seem to err on the side of acceptance and positive self image. And guess what… it is due for release on Mothers Day. So not sure what kind of message the mums will get if they receive this book from their kids without having had plans for plastic surgery of any kind! :o )

Who said baby bags can’t be stylish?

Angelina knows how to do “mum” with style! You would not know this hot bag from Hammitt was a baby bag. It is fully lined, with tons of storage, magnetic cargo pockets and extra long handles. Changing pad included. Yes please!

Cute as a puppy

This little puppy print baby romper from Peter Alexander is just adorable. And of course it just makes sense to combine shipping costs and get yourself some PJs while you are at it!

Cheeky Little Monsters!

We have taken to calling our daughter Tallulah the “Tully Monster” (among other nicknames). But if I had have had a son I would definitely be decking him out in gear from Munster Kids. Check out these great little pillows:

Scandinavians Do It Best!

I don’t know why Scandinavian design always seems to trump the rest of the world? Maybe because of all the cold they spend more time indoors dreaming up good looking furniture ideas! Many of you will have seen the Leander Cot… but it now also comes in white (original version is birch wood). This great looking cot transforms into a toddler bed with a number of stages along the way… but beware it is on the pricey side! Available from Kido Store.
