We're staying in a lovely family run hotel (Hotel Al Plan in San Vigilio di Marebbe) and skiing every day. The children are in ski classes (meanwhile picking up some Italian!), and Tamar and I ...

Beautiful, practical merino wool basics from Luvmother
We recently spent the long holiday weekend with my family on our little island in the San Juans (off the coast of Washington State). 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 ...

New merino wool muslin products from Aden + Anais

What's cool about this new range is that it's not just an ordinary merino wool blanket or another merino wool sleeping bag, ...

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 ...

Organic merino wool clothing from MamaOwl
After a lovely and mild (warm even!) Autumn here in Europe, the big storm blew in earlier this week and the weather temps have suddenly dropped. 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 ...
