Baby Teething Beach Jewels – MintyWendy

At the risk of sounding like my mum (sorry mum) I can’t believe how cool baby stuff is these days.  This necklace is from MintyWendy and it is a baby teething necklace – I have also adopted it as my new beach necklace which can be worn in the sea and out without getting ruined. I was not looking for teething necklaces, T-Rex is way past that point but I loved

Little Beach Bums – Beanie & Bear Kids Beachwear

I love it when I find really good beachwear for kids and the minute I found the Beanie & Bear website I knew I was going to love it.  Aside from the fact, Noya – Beanie and Bear’s creator – lives around the corner from me (see serendipity!) I love this swimwear for its bright colours, cool cuts and ASS – anti saggy swimwear – factor. Noya, who is also mum

My Beachwear From Coco Bay

If you haven’t yet discovered Coco Bay, it is a cool online holiday shop that sells an array of designer beachwear. It is a dangerous place for mums going on holiday as you can quickly and easily buy gorgeous kaftans, bikinis, swimsuits, beachbags (I could go on) all in one easy click.  I have long been a fan of Coco Bay but since having T-Rex, it has been one of my main go-to’s

The Packing List – Spain

If you are looking for a holier-than-thou list of ‘how to pack for kids’ I’m sorry but this is not it.  I literally have the biggest suitcase I could find (we are away for two months) and have (over) filled it with lots of cool (but probably useless) holiday things for both myself and T-Rex.  Ross has his own bag…which also has some of my and T-Rex’s things in, you see

Three Stylish Family Holidays In Europe

If you are looking for a family holiday in Europe, I’ve found a few places that still have availability and are, I think, affordably stylish. Europe is generally a good choice for family holidays because it is a short flight for kids and usually a good climate for everyone.  Personally I really like self-catering when travelling with T-Rex or if you can afford, a hotel style resort that has independent accommodation

8 Comfy Travel Trousers For Kids

  If you’re about to set off on a trip, here are some comfortable travel trousers for your toddler that can also be worn whilst on holiday. I love jeans but they are definitely not good for travelling in and whilst babygrows are necessary for newborns, I always found them annoying when it came to changing in a plane toilet.  I only bought these lightening bolt joggers for T-Rex recently

Little House of Hackney x La Coqueta Collaboration

If ever there was a summer shirt made for T-Rex, it is this one from the new Little House of Hackney x La Coqueta collaboration.  Described as a shirt for smart and stylish boys with a wild side and featuring the signature bold Palmeral print, this is, without a doubt, going to be the most coveted holiday shirt during our forthcoming trip to the Balearics. If you don’t know House of
