Off to a good start!

So Mr Naked Baby and I are on the let's try for baby no 2 bandwagon. We never really tried not to get pregnant after Kahu, so as his 3rd birthday looms, and no baby no. 2 is not here, I think we need to start getting serious.

I suffer from Polycystic ovary syndrome and Endometriosis, which means getting pregnant is not an easy task. After years of seeing specialists my stepmum found a hormone specialist who proscribed some progesterone cream and a diet (ah how I hate diets!)

Anyway 12 months later Kahu was under construction and 9 months later he made his grand appearance!

So as hubby reminded me the diet was essential I have bitten the bullet and am 3 weeks in! I feel more energetic and generally happier all round.

The diet consists of cutting all estrogen causing foods (as I produce WAY too much). So goodbye wheat, rice, potatoes, sugar, banana's, grapes.... Oh how I loved you all.

Breakfast had always been my downfall. I love nothing better than a slice of toast smothered in butter and honey. I have made myself a list of 3 easy breakfasts which I rotate and you know what I am loving it and not even missing the toast.

I am loving the fresh fruit ie blueberries, apples, pears etc with some yummy natural yoghurt, topped with pumpkin seeds and cinnamon!

Stay tuned as I share our journey with you!

Chalkboard & Stripes... 2 things I adore in 1 room!

Wow I just spotted this fabulous kids room on Pinterest! (I seriously love that website!).

I must confess that I am totally addicted to stripes and Chalkboard paint.  As I sit here typing I am secretly dreaming of running upstairs and re doing Kahu's room to look just like this.  (Remember the awesome bed my friends hubby built? Well I think it looks pretty similar to the bed pictured here!).

Rachel of New York nursery tales thought up this fabulous room for her son.  I personally cant wait to see what she dreams up next!

Felt Tip Pen Ink Art!

I am not sure about you but we always end up with a multitude of pens that have been unlovingly strewn across the room and left without their precious lids!

I just found this awesome idea on Mini Eco (I adore this blog!), I know you will love it too!

Just pop the unloved pens in a pottle of water like so overnight...

Hi ............

Kate has given me the task to post on this blog now I am an official 'Mrs Naked baby'.

So here I am .... Louise, wife, mum of two boys aged 1 and 2 (I know!!!what were we thinking!)and average stay at home mum. Everyone that knows me knows I spend most of my time chasing my boys, doing laundry (boys are filthy!!) or finding ideas on the Internet and setting my husband the 'project' of completing them for our house with a budget of approx $20!!!

You'll be hearing alot from me over the coming months and we will be using this blog alongside facebook to preview exciting new collections/designers/items that will be stocked in the store. Also to give you friends sneak peeks, discounts and numerous cool links to the fab things I find out there in cyber space.

Awesome New Boon Colours

We just adore Boon inc products here at Naked Baby!


I was so excited when I some some sneak previews of the new colours and packaging.  And now that they are here I just cant stop looking at them. 


They look fabulous on our studio shelves, and from the moment we popped them up on the website they started to fly out, so I know you love them as much as I do!
