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!

Great gift ideas for a 4-year-old
It was Marlow's 4th birthday last week and we had a fun-filled day celebrating the birthday girl. We woke early (jet-lagged!) and celebrated with bunting, balloons and pancakes, and we ended the day with a Mexican fiesta joined by friends here in Byron Bay. She received a small selection of the most beautiful gifts, each one so treasured. ...

Penis envy?
My 20-month-old daughter and her 4-year-old brother have been taking baths together for over a year now, actually since she could sit at around 6 months. Obviously they take their baths naked but she has never payed attention to body differences. We are now at the seaside and yesterday they were (exceptionally) both playing naked in the sand ...

In a quest to come up with something other than more dress-up clothes for her birthday, I came across this: Mudpuppy Magnet Figures.  They are truly adorable -- great illustrations, tons ...

Boy or girl?
I have a boy and a girl and wanted to know the sex with both my pregnancies as soon as it was possible. Courtney didn't, and I admire her for this. It must be one of the biggest surprises ever... but I'm just too curious and could not resist. With my first pregnancy I wanted ...

The best way to avoid pre-bought Halloween costumes that aren’t environmentally friendly… make your own! But finding the time is another thing. So why don’t you make superhero leaf masks this year. Go for a walk. Collect leaves. Press them this weekend, and then decorate them in a week or so. What a great way to embrace Autumn and have fun! Totally free too. Your superpower, a creative & cool solution! 🦸‍️ 🦸‍️ 🦸‍️🦸‍️🦸‍️ Link in bio from @soloskates lovely post a few years ago!
