iWant.

My poor iPhone seems to take a battering; sticky toddler fingerprints, tea spills and most lately... Nailpolish splatters. With such regular use, it seems totally justifiable to pamper my most reliable necessity. I have been trawling Etsy for some new cases to beautify my little apple friend and have stumbled across some real treasures. Here are some of my favourites!








From top left:

1. By The Curious Case LLC
2.  By Galingale 
3. By SSC photography cases
4. By Decorative Designs WKS
5. By Fundak iPhone cases
6.  By Graphic Pals
7. And for a bit of fun! By Shop Zero Gravity


Does your iPhone need sprucing up a little? What's on your iWant list?

The Wish-list


winter love baby gear wishlist
*Drum-roll please*
Topping The Wish-List this week is...


Baby snuggler wrap by Window Friend Crafts. This wrap is not only beautifully patterned and in the most irresistible shade of mustard, but it is also micro-fleece lined; making it perfect for swaddling a winter baby. The velcro flaps make wrapping a wriggling newborn ready for bed just that little bit easier, not to mention that little bit more pretty!



Owl Leotard by Soft Gallery. Little girls in leotards doesn't have to be sickly sweet, it can be utterly fashionable and adorable. These owl leotards have serious style, I want one for all three of us girls in the house! (Good luck squeezing into that mama!)



The Phil and Teds Vibe. This is the stroller we have decided upon for carting around two busy beings. I love that it is super light and not large and bulky like some double strollers can be. The Vibe is easily transformed to accommodate a newborn and a toddler, two toddlers, or back to a single seat. It folds quickly and smoothly, and pushes like a dream. I've spent many minutes 'practicing' with this beauty in the store!




The Leander Cot. This cot is seriously dreamy, it is coming a close second with the Stokke on our ultimate cot wish-list. Again, it is multi-functional, meaning the need to purchase new furniture as the baby grows is diminished. The one bed is suitable from birth to older child and grows with them, creating a sense of security through childhood. I love the curved form and natural yet modern feel of the bed. Oh Leander, be mine!



The Breastmate. This breastfeeding timer is every mama's best mate. It displays and records the length and side of each feed and reminds you which side to start feeding on next. Perfect for a new mother in a sleepy, zombie state; it is a great way to keep track of your babies feeding patterns and demands, making the establishment of a routine (which we all are dying to achieve) just that little bit easier. You can hook your breastmate up to your computer and even track your babies feeding habits with a spreadsheet with graphs to highlight feeding patterns, this sounds like something this OCD mama would be totally in to. Added features include a room thermometer, alarm and clock. The only thing this little device doesn't do, is feed your baby for you!



Looking forward to sharing more drool-worthy gear for babes with you next week! If you are on Pinterest, you can also follow my 'Gear for Babes' board, pinning all things baby!

These are my favourite Babushka finds from around the Internet at the moment,
Enjoy!

Red; the colour of love


Red; the colour of Valentines Day and the colour of love. Red is also my very favourite colour. Instead of a cutesy lovey-dovey collection of pretty things for Valentines Day I thought I'd create and share with you a collection of all things the colour deep, passionate, love-filled red. As Valentines isn't just reserved for couples, but families and children too these goodies cover all bases. 


Plenty of love,

Ombre Obsessed.

Ombre is simply a french way of saying 'shaded'. Usually with colours graduating from light to dark or dark to light. Trending would be an understatement for Ombre in the world of hairdressing, however now Ombre love is expanding into fashion, homewares, jewellery and wedding decor.

I am a little Ombre obsessed at the moment, probably a little slow to the bandwagon, but nevertheless I'm jumping aboard. Here are some super pretty Ombre finds for you to enjoy...

* Ombre felt wreath in sage, mustard and hunter green by Burlap and Blue 


* Ombre blush feather headband by Mignonne Handmade 


* Sky's clearing dress by Modcloth 


* How-To for an Ombre manicure



And probably my favourite Ombre trend; Ombre cakes!

 Lately, I have been in love with all things prettily peachy coloured; Peach, Apricot and Coral. I have collected quite the supply of peachy dresses, nail polish, earrings and children's clothes over the past few months and my appetite still isn't satiated. Mama wants more peach!

I have put together a little online wish list of the prettiest shades for you to enjoy...Now you can get your fix too!

Gift guide for little musicians.

Stella has become more and more intrigued with music. She will move and groove to any kind of tune that plays and strums Nicks guitar whilst singing a little tune. She really does have ryhthm! More recently we have started getting out the big keyboard for her to accompany Mr K on the keys. We can spend a whole afternoon playing the instruments, singing songs and having a dance. Its one of my favourite things to do as a family and I just adore seeing my little musical bunny enjoy herself so.

I've put together a quick gift guide for little musicians you may know this Christmas and in the process had some ideas for Stella myself.

...enjoy...

* Jingle feet by Robot Holidays

*  Natural wooden zylophone by smiling tree toys.

 

*  Antique wooden childrens grand piano from Simply Chi.



*  Lullaby renditions of Christmas rock classics by Rockabye Baby

 * Musical Baby App for iPhone.

 * Baby's musical hands App for iPad.




Happy musical Christmas days!
