It only seems like a few weeks ago I was buying everything from Athena’s uniform list for starting primary school, and suddenly here we are a just over a year later (because I am not half as organised this year as last!) checking what fits and re-purchasing things she’s outgrown. The list of things that need replacing is long… her trousers (though she’s told me she doesn’t want to wear these this year and stick…
It’s finally bluebell season! Last Saturday we took a late afternoon stroll around the bluebells in Angmering Park estate. It’s always an a stunning sight to behold, and each year they never fail to amaze me with their colours, and Athena has a new dress and necklace that she was more than happy to show off! Her dress is from La Coqueta, a Spanish company who make children’s clothes up to age ten, in…
When Athena started preschool I was quite pleased to find out that things like World Book Day, where you have to come dressed as a character from your favourite book wasn’t really a big thing however now she’s started at school I’m feeling the pressure slightly! Next week on Thursday the 1st of March the school have asked all the children to come in dressed up as a character from their favourite book. It is optional…
The time has come, I need to start thinking about school uniform for my little school starter! I don’t want to leave it till the last minute and risk not being able to find what we need and I also want to give Athena time to practise getting dressed and undressed herself to make sure she can manage! I’ve been browsing online for a few weeks now to find some nice uniform that is both…
Arlo is at the height where a lot of his 18-24 month clothes are too small, but his age 2-3 sized things swamp him. It’s so frustrating that brands can’t just match sizing across the board as some things in 2-3 are okay and other brands he’s still got lots of life left in the 18-24 sized! Anyway, I have been enjoying sorting out his new wardrobe, I bought a lot of it from Zara…
I love choosing shoes for my kids, although actually Athena chooses most of her shoes now as she’s suddenly got very into choosing what she wears and what she likes the look of. Bobux is a brand that I am quietly confident that I will like anything she chooses from their ranges! Unlike high-street shoe shops full of sparkles and character and often not made to withstand active kids wearing them Bobux shoes are designed…
Athena loves shoes, and wellies even more so. Those of you who have followed me on instagram might remember her sporting a fetching pair of yellow wellies last year, but sadly due to the ever-growing nature of toddler feet they’re far too small now! But don’t worry, they fit Arlo now! Crocs sprung to the rescue though and sent her a brand new pair so they could match! What I love about the crocs wellies…
Frugi, known for their organic cotton kids clothes and bedding have branched out recently into cuddly toys, cleverly named Frooglies! as part of the #FrugiFamily Arlo was sent his very own Frooglie and a pair of snowman print parsnip pants! They arrived in a gorgeous presentation bag, so no extra wrapping required! The Frooglie range consists of cuddly toys and comforters, soft and snuggly and perfect for little ones. The larger toys have lots of different textures,…
