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 ...

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. ...

La Fee Clochette
My 4-year-old has taken to introducing herself as Sleeping Beauty, whilst her little sister is apparently not called Violette anymore, but Tinkerbell -- in French "La Fée Clochette" (sounds so much lovelier in French, doesn't it?). So it is fitting that her favourite item of clothing at the moment is a beautiful little bikini by ...

Turn an old shirt into a girl's tunic
To celebrate our 'Simple Life' theme week I have put together a tutorial on how to make a girl's tunic out of an old shirt. Here is the thing: shirts fray first at the collar and at the cuffs though the rest of the shirt is still in perfect condition. The material shirts are made ...

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 ...

Mudpuppy magnets
My daughter has gone through all the typically girly phases between 3 and 4 years old-- first ballerina, then princess, and now mermaid obsessions. 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 ...

Today Courtney shares Michael’s granola recipe. Not only is it delicious and nutritious but it is much cheaper than store bought granola! Good, organic food is often expensive (especially when you’re buying for a family of seven) so make your own. 🥣 Recipe link in stories. @courtneyadamo #babyccinoeats #babyccinokids

When both of my kids broke out in uncontrollable laughter as I read Eletelephony by Laura E. Richards, I knew we had a winner! Do your children love poems and can they recite any by heart? Today on our blog @slcorlis shares an interesting New York Times article on the value of memorizing poetry, which historically was very common (before the invention of writing, it was the only way to possess a poem) but has mostly fallen out of favor in more recent times (why bother memorizing something when you can simply call it up on your phone at a moment’s notice?). It speaks about the value of diligent work and the benefits that come from challenging ourselves, and also of the way the repetition involved in memorizing draws you closer to words and their meaning, and to the broader world of literature and human experience. What about you? Do you remember reciting poems from memory as a child? And finally, do share any poetry collections you’ve loved reading as a family. ️ #babyccinokids #babyccinoreads

LOLA Art Boxes are the most wonderful way to introduce creativity in your family. Every month, the talented @lotsoflovelyart team assembles everything you need to create three artist-inspired projects, including an introduction to the artist, recommendations on books or artworks to discover and galleries to visit, plus of course ALL the high quality materials you need to make a true masterpiece. Ava loved this craft project so much, and a subscription to LOLA art boxes is the number one thing she is asking for Christmas! You can buy the one-off boxes, but also choose to get one delivered to you every month (or two months). There are boxes for children aged 6 plus, but also ones that are perfect for smaller children (3+). The craft ideas are always original and clever, the materials are of great quality, and every detail is thought of and included. These boxes are a great gift! If you are in London for the ShopUp in two weeks, you can meet the LOLA team personally and check out their amazing boxes in person. They will be there both days!! @theshopup @estherbabyccino #sponsored #art #artforkids #makeart #babyccinocrafts

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!
