A new contributor! Introducing Zainab

A conversation in which we would share parenting discoveries, tips and ideas, hoping to support each other and learn from each other, help each other ...

Weekly book reviews by Mo (she's back!)
Do you guys remember our friend, Mo, who used to be a contributor here? You might remember her stunning children's room with the dark walls, or the Cops 'n Robbers birthday party she threw for her son, or her lemon curd recipe, or, my favourite, her Christmas Book Advent Calendar idea?! We were so sad when she ...

Introducing Maria from Oviedo, Spain!
About a year ago, Maria emailed me to tell me about the stick horse she had made for her cute son Nico (remember this post?), and since then, I've been a great fan and regular (visual) follower of Maria's wonderful blog escarabajos bichos y mariposas.

Welcome to our newest #babyccinokidsboutiques on the block! Eco conscious clothing and decor for adventurous kids … Bella + Phoenix! Brand @bella_and_phoenix is created by Debbie Turrell a Sussex based graphic designer/illustrator and mum. From a young age both her children showed an avid interest in the natural world. From rock pooling to finding mini beasties in the back garden, everything would be inspected (not dissected!) and then avidly talked about. Next would come the barrage of questions! It inspired her to come up with the 'Tee of Knowledge’. The clothing is organized into cute themes and children will definitely feel inspired when they are dressed and ready for an afternoon spent amongst nature! Being passionate about ethical production, all the clothing is handprinted to order in Bella and Phoenix Sussex studio on organic cottons, using eco friendly inks. The packaging is recycled and 100% biodegradable too. We hope your little explorers will be inspired!

Wilkie has requested this as his bedtime story every night for the last few weeks, and it’s one of those books I never tire of reading. Arno and his Horse is a beautiful story, written with rhyming text and illustrated with beautiful, rich watercolour illustrations of an Australian country setting.

Today we had the very best sunny day in London town! We visited our amazing #babyccinoboutiques @vildhouseoflittle for a studio tour and sneak peek at their newest items! We enjoyed @somersethouse and the @londondesignbiennale including the inspiring free exhibit, Forest For Change, directed by @esdevlin. We then went to meet some beautiful elephants in @coventgardenldn at @petershamnurseries bringing attention to the @coexistencecampaign. Needless to say, it was a full day and @laraoflondon got the babe back in time for a nap. Now tell us, what new energy has the summer sun given you? #babyccinokids #babyccinotravels

This gym bag is such a fun and easy project, also for beginners this is a nice sewing project. Esther, Emilie and the kids had so much fun going to the market choosing all the supplies. The fabrics from Little Cube are the cutest!
