Teething -- with two sweet brands
We have a drooly, constantly sticking his hands (plural) in his mouth, six-month-old babe. He's been teething for half of his life now, and still no teeth! Poor bubba. The teething began one day after we flew overseas for the start of our summer holiday. (What timing!) But there was no denying it, teeth are on the way and we needed to comfort him ...

My four little monkeys... in Imps&Elfs
Imps&Elfs is by far my favourite Dutch jeans brand. I just love the way their trousers fit -- they're just so flattering, and so cool! My kids also find them the most comfortable ones to wear -- they pick them out of the clean laundry basket before they're even folded and on the shelf. Imps&Elfs recently designed ...

Bamboo perfection, from Panda and the Sparrow
Bamboo is an amazing recourse -- it is the fastest growing plant in the world (it can grow up to a metre per day without any fertilisers, pesticides or even much water!), and it completely regrows after harvesting -- without the need to replant. Bamboo fabrics have some amazing advantages as well. Not only is ...

Such a great find! I love those prints! (Maybe I should get a pair of leggings for Casper?) x
Oh you should! how cute would he be in those leggings.
It is so great to see my fabric pattern designs featured on Sweet Kiddo’s awesome leggings! Great shop! – Andrea Lauren
Oh Andrea! I LOVE your patterns, i think I might have to buy some of that fabric. They did a great job with it. 🙂
Andrea, the designs are genius! I LOVE them— the lion one reminds me of the vintage children’s book The Tiger Who Came to Tea. I love his cheeky expression in that book and yours also has a great face! I’d love to see more clothes made out of these. Who else is working with them?
