A long while ago I brought you these adorable space-saving desks perfect for adults or kids. Those desks were by Torafu Architects, a Japanese design house, who have 2 new designs that I’m loving and think you will too. The first is this colourful toy storage trolley and the second is that cute folding table. Both are practical, space-saving and beautiful.
Torafu Architects are great at transforming everyday furniture in to something special. I am very much a believer that everyday stuff should also look beautiful because it is so much a part of your daily life.
Confetti is one of those things that makes you feel cheerful the second you see it. Whether it’s on the walls, on clothes or on the table, confetti just seems to have that ‘happy’ effect. I love confetti and not just for a party so I went looking around for some happy confetti to get inspired and here’s what I found:
I wanted to start the week by sharing this effortlessly simple and stylish collection of linen dresses. Linen is such a beautiful fabric both in look and feel and so perfect for Summer. These dresses by Le Vestiaire de Jeane are easy to wear, loose fitting for comfort and great for dressing up or down. The collection also includes similar dresses for women and I can’t help but think they would be so cool and comfy to wear during a Summer pregnancy and beyond.
Today I’ve been interviewed by the lovely Ana of pink nounou. I talk to her about playing with Anya and all that this involves. In my interview I chat about how, more than anything else, Anya loves to play outdoors and just spend time outside. Now that Spring is finally here (yay!) I look forward to spending a lot more time outside as a family. Not just in our local parks but visiting some of London’s fabulous outdoor spaces for a picnic (Holland Park is my favourite) or outdoor markets or the zoo. Anywhere that offers some family fun and is outside. I leave you with a few pictures of some memorable moments from our Spring last year.
The word ‘blush’ is such a pretty way to describe this beautiful pale peachy-pink colour which I’m loving for Spring. So soft and feminine, this is a colour I want to see more of in my home and wardrobe. So I went looking for blush things for mamas and kids and here are my favourtie finds:
If I could, I would buy nearly every kids book that is published. But since that isn’t possible, I have to pick and choose the ones that I think will be the most engaging, educational, funny, entertaining or just a sweet story. Right now these 7 books are in my Amazon wish list so I thought I would share them here. I’m very tempted by the exclamation book because it sounds like a fun and engaging way to teach Anya about punctuation especially since she is learning it at school too. Have you bought any of these books? I would love to hear what you thought of them? These are the books I’m currently wishing for:
Recently Anya’s had loads of birthday party invites; there has practically been a party every weekend for a few weeks now. I’m a big fan of giving books to kids when I don’t know them well enough to know their interests so that has been my gift of choice. But I’m always looking for different ways to wrap these gifts so when I came across these plywood elephants I thought they would make really cute gift tags.
Called ‘Nostalgia’ , this new Spring Summer 2014 collection by Soft Gallery is cool and unique. I see a lot of kids clothing lines and after a while many of them start to look a bit samey. But Soft Gallery is different and stands out from the crowd. Their illustrations are created by artists especially for their clothes and their styles are comfy and cool. In addition to the illustrations, there are some striking prints in the collection too. I’m loving that relaxed ice-cream dress as well as that quirky roller skating bear body.
This week we have had loads of sunshine in London. This makes us happy, very happy. I love all the change of seasons but this is by far the best one for me. You start to see a lot more colour appear on the streets because people start swapping their Winter greys for Spring colours, the parks are full of kids playing again and all the bright and beautiful flowers are starting to bloom. It’s been a colourful week here and I’ve got colour on the mind so I wanted to wish you all a colourful weekend! Enjoy x
I can’t believe apps have only been around for about 5 years but for most of us, we probably only really started using them about 3 years ago. And now, I can’t imagine life without some of my favourites that make life easier and more organised. Of course I love the fun ones too but it’s the ones that save me time and angst that I like the most. One app I wish I had when Anya was a baby is WowMom. WowMom is all about helping you easily find child friendly places (called WowSpots) for baby changing, for eating, for playing, for having a coffee and everything else you do with babies and kids in tow. So whether you’re looking for a gym with a creche or a playground to entertain your toddler, Wowmom has you covered.
Wowmom not only points you in the direction of kid friendly places based on your need of the moment but also details the facilities available at each place. So you’ll know if the place has a kids menu for instance or what age group it’s suitable for, if it’s paid or free or even if the venue provides crayons or toys to keep kids occupied. Handy. Apart from the useful side, I love the colourful and cute illustrations too making for a good looking app which always gets my vote. Right now Wowmom has the most WowSpots in London though there are many in other UK cities but they’re growing everyday with plans to include US cities too and if you want to find out more visit their campaign page. And did I mention, the app is free?
