Just a fun little outfit from Arlo for this ‘what the kids wore’ and a complete accident that both items happen to be from Zara and have faces on them!
I’ve said before that I am giving Athena a lot more choice in what she wears, from picking her clothes as we buy them to getting dressed in the mornings. I think children should be given independence from an early age within safe limits, and there is nothing quite like being given the independence to choose your own look! House of Fraser asked us if we’d like to get involved with their ‘Kids dress Kids’…
Well the weather picked up just in time for our latest delivery from Frugi! It looks like we’ll be spending a lot of time at the local splash pad and then when the sea warms up a little on the beach itself! Athena has always been a water baby and would happily spend all day in water given half the chance.
After realising that poor Arlo didn’t have a pair of shorts to his name and being on the brink of a heatwave I headed to H&M to get him some. I came out £45 lighter than I went in but got both kids some lovely things. I didn’t even look at the adult clothes, such is life…
Athena’s feet seem to grow at a rate of knots, so none of her sandals from last year fit her and I don’t want to keep enclosing her feet in shoes and trainers on really hot days because I know how restricting it can feel! Thankfully Brantano got in touch to see if she’d like to pick a style from their range of kids sandals to try out.
How do you really annoy someone in a supermarket checkout queue? Put your toddler in a jumper that squeaks. It works wonders! I’m not even remotely upset that I annoyed this guy either as he was unloading his stuff onto the conveyor belt before my trolley was even empty, I was going as fast as I could with a baby in a carrier on my front and (squeaky!) toddler to entertain too! Oh the joys…
Rockin’ Baby are one of my favourite kids clothing brands, fun patterns, a great range and a a really ethical company too, you can read more about that in this post but they match what they sell item for item and send the clothes out to kids in over 30 countries in partnership with ChildFund International. When we were offered a sneak peek at the new S/S16 collection I definitely wasn’t going to say no! With…
A few weeks ago I was over the moon to be asked to join the Frugi Family! Frugi is a brand I know and love already, and to be able to work with them and help to shout about their fantastic clothes is an honour! Athena was able to pick a dress from their new S/S16 range, and with a little nudging from me she went for the Zennor dress in the pretty ‘Anchors Away’…
