My children love to carry around 'things' -- a pretty stone, a coin, a tiny drawing, a minuscule toy, anything special. These gorgeous little bags are just perfect for that! xxx ...

Smock dresses for special occasions, by Charlotte Sy Dimby
Remember when we were kids and had a special outfit for special occasions? Maybe it's a European thing, but kids over here hardly seem to dress up anymore! I love being casual and relaxed, but part of me misses the excitement of dressing up and making an effort. Even I don't have a special outfit ...

Le Petit Germain, comfortable and stylish children's fashion from Paris
Le Petit Germain is a beautiful brand from Paris, with a history of mother and grandmothers knitting under the magnolia tree of their family home. They watched little ones play, run, stumble and get up, entranced in their own world. And they created soft and comfortable clothes which were respectful of delicate, young skin and ...

We've known Gray Label since their very first collection. Emily, the owner and designer, is from Amsterdam and it's been so fun to follow her succes.

We spent an afternoon exploring the Williamsburg neighbourhood of Brooklyn and luckily popped into Scosha to take a peek at all the pretty jewellery. By chance we got to meet the designer, ...

We drink hot chocolate, throw ...

Carmen Sandiego - finally a strong female cartoon lead
I will let you in on a secret -- we do watch TV ;). In fact, I really like watching television with the kids, especially now that they are older and we can enjoy shows together. (It goes without saying that this is of course in moderation). Some great content has been made lately, with ...

Summer Dotty Dungarees
I love dungarees on little children! They just look so sweet in them, trotting around with their little bellies sticking out in that bubbly outfit. Plus -- I like the convenience. They don't sag and one can get a lot of wear out of them thanks to the adjustable shoulder straps. OK, after potty training ...
