30 incredible things for your November!

Yes! 30 incredible things I have for you. Things that have been waiting for you and that I am so happy to finally share.

This week I realised that the upcoming months may be not as easy and nonchalant as I hoped and wished they would be. Little Josephine will be home for an extra week because of a positive Covid case. And that really was the eye opener how quick things can change.

How quick we are housebound and have to change plans. And even so these plans were nothing spectacular seeing the circumstances, they still were something we were all looking forward to.

Now, lets keep the chin up and hope for the best and make the best out of every day. And pssst, I already included some gift ideas for the upcoming festive season. Enjoy!

With a little help, well 30 little helpers, right here:

Creative and colourful family apartment in Copenhagen. Such a fun kids room.

The most gorgeous candles! Hand painted!

Just the best beanies* for this winter.

Gift ideas: I should have given a full article to Katharina’s designs*. But I only realised that when I put together this list. And then I just really wanted to share this with you. Wall tapestry, beautiful name hoops embroidered with dried flowers or a sweet lion. Love it all!

Adorable doll clothes that are modern and chic

Sometimes I am sitting and dreaming and thinking what I would create if I would create. And I mean stuff. A product, not a service. And one of the things that my mind produced was modern doll clothes.

Very nice, pretty, modern, and chic dolls clothes. Basically the stuff that a cool mum would buy for her kids and that taste then transfers into the outfits for the dolls as well. Can you follow?

I hope you do, because if you are looking for something exactly like this… you are in for a treat today!

Elizabeth makes adorable clothes for dolls* that truly are fun, cute, and far from kitsch and too much the wrong shade of pink.

Think stripes, linen pants, and bloomers:

Note: All doll clothes are made to fit Minikane and Miniland dolls. Or dolls measuring approx 34 cm (±13.4 inches) in length.

My favourite must be, and it is not easy to choose, the multi stripe outfit* and the green floral summer set*.

These are cute aren’t they? And perfect for a trendy mini mama…

Oh, and of you are looking for the perfect doll to match the modern doll clothes – they are right here*.

17 cool things for your September!

Hi there! How are you?

Just before we are heading straight into September I have some cool stuff ready for you. This time on a Monday so you get a good start into a new week as well.

Here in London we had some ‘fresh’ days and got a glimpse into Autumn (way too early if you ask me!) and then we have one more week of summer break and I am really wondering how it will be once the kids go back to school.

Are you ready? 17 cool things for a great new week and an even better month of September:

If you want something special for your home, look no further than Tse & Tse.

100 years of baby fashion.

Want to swap the boring mask for something cute*? how about a koala or pug version?

Not vegan. Not tried. But if you are in for a very mean chocolate cookie, I think you should try this.

Fantastic lion head* for the nursery and kids room. Such a great decor item and beautifully made to order as well.

Whoa! Coolest backpacks* around for sure…

If this lounge wear would come in my size I would totally wear it…

Until then, I will find something pretty in this shop*.

That dress* had me at ‘Hello!’. I mean… that back…

Humans of New York. Always good!

A home full of life…

90s kids versus today’s kids! So fun!

I might be slightly jealous that this gorgeous jumper* is for kids! (but, of course, so so pretty!)

Pretty socks*!

Cute playmat*.

If your kids’ school stays closed or you decided to homeschhool for the time being, have a look at this kids workspace inspiration.

Hugs and kisses…

PS: This week I will also share our two weeks break in Kent! Stay tuned…

26 sizzling things for your August!

I have been a bad blogger over the last months but I guess you all know why. To make it up a tiny bit I managed to gather a Friday List so we can all start August in style.

And wherever you are, whatever you do… I really hope that you are OK and that things are more calm and manageable.

We are staying in this cute little cottage in Kent at the moment. And I can tell you, it is sooooo nice to be out of the city and see something else for a bit. I will share more about our stay and cottage very soon!

Here are your 26 sizzling things for a sunny month of August:

Great range of DIY Knitting, Crochet, Weaving and Macrame kits*.

If you are looking for something special for your home.

More DIY: From funky cushion cases to embroidered wall art, let your creativity take hold with these kits from Sozo DIY*.

Great interview with Simone Biles in Vogue. To add you should also watch the Netflix Documentary about the US Gymnastics Team system.

French inspired natural skincare. Which looks very glam and chic too. Just like the French… (And they make great gifts!)

Also DIY, but outdoors: Eco-friendly container gardening kits*!

For me please! Fantastic yellow maxi dress* that will always put a smile on your face whilst wearing it. (you should check this shop out in general by the way…)

On my recipe list: Raw Nutella Bars.

I am on a roll today, more DIY kits: These hand embroidery hoop patterns* are so gorgeous!

This print just screams summer.

What a house!

One of my favourite decor brands.

Adult drink with white peaches. I actually got a blender to crush ice (Ours broke just before our last move) recently and collect yummy summer drink recipes…

Remember: Colouring Pages to print out during rainy days!

Handmade baby and child bonnets*.

I made a very simple and yet delicious focaccia a few weeks back. Nothing compared to the very arty ones going through the net…

An old-fashioned favourite for little ones to easily transport their toy collections from room to room with this pull-along wagon cart*.

Hmmmmm…. roasted berry sorbet!

My youngest is really into makeup and hair. She basically begs me to put on lipstick (my already very minimalist approach to make up is literally nonexistent since Corona started) and to do my hair. It is her birthday in September and I think that I will get this Toy Make Up Bag*. No need to worry about make up on furniture or skin problems…

Another adult drink, with grapefruit. Something I re-discovered over the last weeks as well.

Very cool and minimal clothes for the whole family – dada, mama & mini!

Something pretty for us mums!

Time to get yourself a great gift that will make the extra time we spend in our homes even more worthwhile. In love with these throw blankets*….

More for the home: These rugs* are amazing, affordable and super fun!

Just wanted to give this to you!

Last one: If you are looking for a very special dress* for your child. Look no further!

Have a great month of August everyone. Stay Safe! Stay Healthy!

Open-ended wooden toys for creative children

Good Morning and are you just as delighted as I am that it is Friday today?

I know that a lot of people say that the days of the week are just a name but I can tell you that a break from home school is definitely worth a mini celebration for me.

So before we all head into our well deserved weekends, I wanted to introduce you to Babai Toys. It is a Ukrainian-based company that specialises in innovative, high-quality toys. And they are made entirely from wood combining tradition with modernity!

The people behind the brand value quality very dearly and strictly follow EU standards and manufacture their toys in an environmentally safe approach. Everything comes with a natural, non-varnished and unpainted finish. As well as smooth corners, making it totally child safe, with no points or sharp edges.

Open-ended wooden toys for creative children:

The wooden houses are amazing and so inviting for creative play. They are magnetic which means they are easy to build as well as to take down. Our amazing bow and arrow set is just the job for little adventurers!

And who does not like a good balancing game? Especially one that looks as cool as this one…

The sky is the limit when it comes to imagination at Babai Toys, children and parents alike will fall in love with the innovative creations…

More wooden toys? How about Wooden Story or science and art combined in cool wooden toys ?
