Last year while in DC over the Christ­mas hol­i­days, we received a lot of com­ments on how warm and snug­gly Oliver looked in his stroller bag.  The stroller bag is a pretty com­mon thing in Ger­many and the rest of Europe, so I thought I’d intro­duce you to the com­pany that pro­duces the baby stroller […]

Pedipeds Shoes - Review and Giveaway!

October 28, 2008

Until he was get­ting around on his feet rather than his knees, my son only wore shoes on spe­cial occa­sions. In fact, he’s the only bare­foot raga­muf­fin in our big fam­ily photo from last Christ­mas. Appar­ently his cousins have more refined sar­to­r­ial tastes. But once he started cruis­ing, I saw why my friends sang the […]

September 28, 2008

After much research on my part, my hus­band and I set­tled on get­ting a Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair for Oliver.  It’s expen­sive, at 140 Euro for just the base chair, but we expect to get 1–2 decades of use out of it, mak­ing it more afford­able than a high chair that would only be […]

Books for kids: the Maisy series

I’m not sure how we dis­cov­ered the Maisy books by Lucy Cousins, I was prob­a­bly just brows­ing Amazon.co.uk, but some­how I ran across the Maisy mouse series of books and ordered one.  Oliver just loves them.  The lift-the-flap books are made of seem­ingly very light­weight card­board, but are sturdy enough to han­dle tod­dler abuse without […]

NordicKids.co.uk

September 2, 2008

I, for one, can’t get enough Scan­di­na­vian design. I love the clean lines of the fur­ni­ture and the col­or­ful children’s cloth­ing designs. If I could afford it, I’d have Oliver decked out in a Scan­di­na­vian wardrobe. Yep, that’s right, the stuff is also a lit­tle bit more expen­sive. Also, when com­par­ing to the cloth­ing my […]
