Winter warmers..


I know i know, the last few days have been far from cold and autumey but whether we like it or not (i LOVE it..), it is coming so let's prepare out little monkies for it and keep their tootsies warm and toasty, perhaps with a pair of boots from Sorel... Now, i can speak from experiece as i bought a pair for my son last year and think they are worth every penny..altough they're quite chunky, they're still light and comfortable..Most of the boots are lined with a wool felt sock that you can take out for when it's not so cold...(or their little feet have grown ;) )

You can find their stuff on Sorel's website... www.sorel.com

Wet tootsies - Miserable monkies!






Just ordered new wellies for the little ones and have fallen for Tretorn's styles as they're fun, affordable and light.

Also found some veery nice mommy-wellies too - They're by Michael Kors and costs £80
Not typical playground footwear but definately worth a mention here :)

Keep your children warm..




I just got back from Norway and as always, i stock up on seasonal clothes for my children.
One thing we do know, is how to dress our children for all sorts of weather.
We have a saying in norway, 'There's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing' and that is true.

I always struggle to find winterboots that will keep little tootsies from getting wet and still warm, pure wool clothes to keep them warm and outfits to give the mud a challenge..

I thought i'd add a few brands to give you an example - makes my life sooo much easier and much more fun for the kids to be out - really, they don't mind playing in the rain :)

These websites specialises in wool and cotton base layers which are great for outdoor fun in rain and cold weather.
Their wool clothes aren't itchy or horrible to wear but very soft and comfortable. I hated wearing home knitted clothes when i was little and still itch just by the thought of it but today it's a different story...and their stuff is soooo cute
