Cosy Movies to Watch this Winter

The festive season is a perfect time to cosy up and hunker down on the sofa, in bed, in a nook or snug corner of your home with your loved ones and watch a documentary, new film or classic movie this Winter. I’ve pulled together a few family favourites, some for young ones, some for ...

BOOKS

Get reading with Storytime Magazine!

The other day I was saying to my husband: we really should find some more gripping things to read for Fergus, our seven-year-old son. His sisters love reading and being read to, but our boy, well… he could use a little bit of encouragement. It must have been a sign -- Esther, the next day, ...

Banana Boxers, the best boxer-shorts for all of the boys!

You know how we sometimes love the mummy-and-me styles? Well, it turns out that guys love daddy-and-me items equally so! Last Christmas, I got all of my boys matching Banana Boxers undershorts and they were the biggest hit. Pim and Casper (and Bram!) really embraced the fact that they got their own 'big boy underwear' ...

Simple "No Waste" Honey Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Last week we got 3 "pumpkin pie" pumpkins in our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) allotment, which meant we had a LOT of pumpkin seeds.

Fabulous fall fashion from The Simple Folk

Fall is here! Last week we enjoyed perhaps the last summery days in Amsterdam, but since then the autumn chill is definitely in the air.

Clothing allowance -- when, and how much to give?

A few months ago we started giving Sara a clothing allowance. She is now 15 years old, and it seemed appropriate to start giving her some financial independence and ownership of her choices concerning style and fashion. With the decision of giving her 'clothing money', as we say here in The Netherlands, came the immediate ...

Canopea Swimwear -- truly our family's favourite

I've been a longtime fan of this swimwear brand, since the very first collection from five years ago. In fact, we have some of the much-loved 5-year-old rash shirts still going strong!

Dinki Human, a gender-neutral, organic and entirely ethical collection

Many brands are working in a more eco-conscious way these days. They are thinking about the way they manufacture and finding out how they can improve their production. Small steps are taken, sometimes big ones, and it is necessary and good. But Ester, the founder of Dinki Human, goes one step further in ensuring her ...

A capsule collection with Nellie Quats!

When the lovely Elinor from Nellie Quats approached me last year about creating a capsule collection, I knew immediately this was a perfect opportunity to work with one of my favourite brands, learn a little about the design process, and (selfishly!) create the perfect pieces for my kids. Immediately I thought of Ivy, who is ...

The Climate Marches: a new generation takes on the old

Did you follow last week's climate marches all over the world? It actually made me weepy (and that does not happen very often) seeing kids all over the world stand up for themselves and their future. Of course they were having fun with their friends, of course they are still having long showers whilst protesting ...

My new morning routine, and a Kimono from Yellow Meadow

Next week I am embarking on an important new phase in my life: for the first time in 11 years and from now to forevermore, I will not have school drop-offs anymore. Both of my girls will be in middle school and school drop-off and big girls just do not mix! So finished are those ...

First walking shoes by Poconido, so perfectly sweet!

Bram is now trotting steadily along, happy with his ability to carry things along with him. (And, consequently, leaving a mess everywhere!) He's very cute with his penguin like walk and his determined little face, with those chubby cheeks and golden curls :). With walking come the first walking shoes, to protect the feet against ...

A friend sent me an email a few weeks ago telling me about Anyware, a new UK-based children's brand, and I loved it the second I saw it! So much so, that I ordered a pair of the overalls for Wilkie and Marlow! They are so cute! The majority of the Anyware pieces are unisex, with ...

Tips for curly hair

I have the most boring hair in the world -- straight and, especially since having children, super thin. So I am a wee bit jealous of my daughter Coco's lovely, mop of curly hair, ringlets and all. I am, however, not jealous of all the knots she gets in her hair. Many a tear has ...

Alice works with the softest, most beautiful and carefully ...
