Project outdoor play area

I am right into my Vege garden at the moment, it is tucked into a little spot around the side of our house.  Its such a nice place to hang out in the shade and play with Kahu. 

Since 1/2 the space is taken up with my gardens I thought it only far that the other 1/2 could be turned into a fun outdoor play area!

I am going to work on this for the next few weeks, but in the meantime I will share a few images that are inspiring me!

Nettle & Wolf Winter 2012

I cant tell you how much I adore Nettle & Wolf!  Rose the lovely lady behind Nettle & Wolf is mum to 2 beautiful children, and thinks up the clothing ranges with them in mind!

I love that the range is lovingly handmade.  The clothes are practical but super cute.  Ranges now available for pre order! xox

Friday Winners!!! x

Congrats to Shelly Howard & Rebecca Goad, thank you for submitting photos of our products in action! xxx



Catch & Kiss Underwear

I had  been dreading toilet training as I have a VERY strong willed child.  We tried a few times and it was just a nightmare.

To my surprise just before Christmas he just started going to the toilet.  We had a few accidents but by day 3 he pretty much had it under control!

So the fun part starts and we got to track down some super cool underwear (ie superhero pants).  Lucky for me and Naked Baby I know someone who has an underwear range... Yep Catch & Kiss are now online at our store!

Get creative, have some fun, we cant wait to see what you come up with!



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!
