Linen bedding from Byron-based brand Of The Sun

Of The Sun is a beautiful brand of linen bedding started by two local Byron mums and friends of mine. Their range includes bedding in all sizes, from king-size down to cot bed size, and comes in a range of the most gorgeous colours. My favourite pieces in their collection are the two-toned duvet sets, ...

BEAUTY & CARE

Spots & Stripes -- skincare for tweens

Helena is coming up on 11. How that has come around so quickly I do not know! But it was only the other day when it hit. I passed her our beautifully floral packaged, organic baby wash and she was appalled I was asking her to bathe in it. I also realised her skin was ...

The gift of a handwritten letter with Scribble and Daub

A couple of days ago, whilst on holiday from school, my youngest daughter heard the letterbox knock and ran to the door. She came through to me in the kitchen with a small handful of post. To my surprise there was an envelope, handwritten, which looked like a little note (and not a bill - ...

DECOR AND FURNITURE

Making a quilt from fabric remnants and old dresses

I finally started a project which I have been wanting to start for a long time. For years I have been gathering fabric remnants with the idea of making a quilt with them. There are all sorts of little pieces of fabric that I kept because I liked them. I inherited some from my mother ...

Our family bathroom -- renovation details and final photos

We've moved into our new home! After three months of renovations, we are in, mostly unpacked and feeling settled. It feels beyond wonderful to have our own home again and to be able to put our stamp on all the little nooks and corners. And there is something about this house that just feels so ...

HOME AND DÉCOR

My Worm Farm

I was brought up in Germany, so recycling is in my DNA. We had at least 4 different bins in front of our house, one for general trash, one for plastic and paper, one for glass and one for organics. It was a massive shock when I moved to Paris as recycling is way, way ...

HOME AND DÉCOR

A painted square as a backdrop for cards, photos, (kids) art...

A while ago we painted a very dark green square on our living room wall, with the idea to use it to display all sorts of pretty little things: drawings from the children, autumn leaves, our activity advent calendar, a collection of plates or framed art... Things we feel are meaningful and which we like ...

BEAUTY & CARE

Skincare and make-up products I like to use (and are quick to apply!)

I am by no means a make-up expert. I don't use a lot of it (in fact, I just spent six weeks in a campervan without ANY make-up!). My childhood was quite, well, childish, and I didn't use mascara until I was 18 and left the house to go and study in Delft. There, during ...

Our Home Renovation, part one

When I asked recently for blog post suggestions, I was so flattered to receive questions about our home renovation. It's centre of my mind at the moment, so it's quite an easy topic for me to write about. And while I find it completely overwhelming -- all the details and decisions to make -- I ...

5 Questions with Sara Giese Camre from Cam Cam Copenhagen

Lots of small businesses are created and run by solid teams of two. Often friends, sometimes family. Occasionally, even, partners in life! Surely the tightest of teams, business partners who also share parenting, and pretty much everything else in life, have a very special bond. We find this quite fascinating, we must admit! Cam Cam ...

BABY ESSENTIALS

The Nesta's Nest baby bed, handcrafted and all-natural

Our bedroom is a very calm place if you compare it to the rest of the house. It's on the top floor, above the kids bedrooms and the living rooms where all of the craziness takes place. Ascending the stairs to our bedroom means leaving behind the hectic life, and entering the quiet quarters. Bram ...

5 Questions with Constance from CANOPEA

Good swimwear is an absolute summer essential. With water play the key to happy children on any given hot day, having a sun-safe option is so important. As we all know, not all swimsuits are created equally. A few summers ago we were delighted to discover CANOPEA, a brand with a collection of stylish, sustainable ...
