Beautiful, practical merino wool basics from Luvmother

It is my favourite place in the whole world, a place where I spent my childhood summers and where my mother and grandmother (and great-grandmother!) spent theirs. It makes me so ...

The Bugaboo wool collection
Wool is known for its wonderful, temperature regulating properties. So this past summer, when it was hot and humid and sticky, I cut holes in a sheep skin and put it in my Bugaboo as a seat cover. Like this Casper was always on a soft, natural and breathable 'mattress', which kept him cool as ...

And just like that I'm searching around the house for all the wool layers, scarves & hats. It's November already! Winter is coming! I recently picked up some cosy organic ...

Blue Daisy
Last year around this time, my local art store closed. Bummer, I thought. Until I saw what replaced it... Blue Daisy -- a great children's store in Hampstead with everything one could possibly need for newborns up to pre-schoolers. They stock all my favorite and necessary items, like the Beaba Baby Cook and silicone spoons, ...

A child in sheep’s clothing
Aaagghhh! Winter. You all know it depresses me. It's dark, it's wet, and it's COLD!! And I have a husband who refuses to turn the heat on during the night- (doesn't want to waste energy, and also doesn't mind if his babies freeze)! Thank God for Mokopuna's merino wool range. They make the cutest ...
