Last week I was sent a pack of cards called Mindful Monsters. I don’t usually talk about products but these interested me because they are all about helping our children to be mindful – to build resilience and kindness through being thoughtful. Practicing Mindful Monsters Every parent will agree that life gets so busy and whilst we might try and take time out ourselves to do some yoga or meditation, how
The lack of beach doesn’t stop us Londoners from donning our cossies. When it gets warm in the summer (it does eventually) we head to our local Lido for some good old fashioned outdoor swimming. Brockwell Lido is the nearest to us and is a grade II listed building – I personally love its 1930s fairly bland architecture and thought it would make a great backdrop to some of our bright retro
If you are planning a trip to London with the family but have no idea where to start with accommodation…then read on. Last week I got to have a little peek inside Europa House – a collection of one, two and three bedroom luxury apartments in the pretty canal area of Little Venice. The location is ten minutes from Paddington Station and walking distance to various undergrounds all just a few
As you know I am a big fan of high street and designer brands but what I really love is finding small unique labels that not many people know about. Most of my finds come as a result of me trawling through Instagram or the Internet or if I’m lucky through someone recommending something to me. It all takes a lot of time and whilst I enjoy the thrill of
Is that the sun? Quick get your swimsuits out! Here’s my current pick of this summer’s cutest and coolest swimwear for our littles. These are independent brands from both the UK and abroad because it’s always summer somewhere in the world. I love the different beach styles that come from UK, Scandinavia, France and Australia, a mix of cool kids, minimalist and boho. Beach Boys… Gardner And The Gang; Olive Loves Alfie;
If you’re ever in Sydney and looking for a quirky design hotel then I’d recommend staying at The Old Clare. It’s centrally located in Chippendale in the newly redeveloped Kensington Street precinct where there are cool boutiques, art galleries and places to eat including Spice Alley. Whilst The Old Clare is perfectly suitable for accommodating families (large loft style rooms and extra beds on request) Ross and I used it as
Rex has had a few new purchases recently which I thought I’d share with you. Three years old is a funny age to buy for, they still feel like your baby but when shopping, the clothes are very boyish. I still go into Zara’s baby boy section to see if there is anything I can squeeze him into but alas, those days are gone. Having said that I’ve been enjoying this
For those of you who have been following my blog from the beginning, you’ll know I’ve been lucky enough to work with Coco Bay Swimwear for a while now. It’s meant that many of my trips abroad have been illustrated with some amazing beachwear and bikinis from their collections. Last December they launched a new range of activewear and as activewear is the uniform of Bondi locals, I was more than happy
If you’re in Sydney with small children I recommend this day out. It’s enjoyable for both parents and kids which, in my opinion, makes the ideal type of family outing. Once you have exhausted all the tourist attractions and are looking for more entertainment I suggest taking the children to Nubo followed by lunch nearby at The Grounds. Hire a car and drive to Alexandria where you’ll find Nubo – a
If there was one look I had to choose this month, it would would incorporate gingham and ruffles. I saw this skirt in Asos and loved it. I paired it down with a t-shirt from Chaser which I got in the sale from a cool little shop in Sydney called For Artists Only. Chaser tees are great if you like to wear words and they do the cutest kid’s versions too. If
