Hold them close
It’s easy to want to do it all over again…. yes, i mean have another baby, if you can look this good holding them close to you.
The newly released Betty sling is incredibly vintage and makes the perfect accessory for your summer outfit. Beep Beep slings come in a number of prints this season, and my other favorites have got to be the bright Sunny and the refreshing Sprig. Fully reversible for those wanting to sport a plain color, these slings are small enough to fit into your handbag or shopping bag!
Other designs also available – Retromelon & Ballet
It’s all in the name!

It’s interesting to see how the choices of baby names have evolved over the last few generations.
The most favoured name in the last five years, Jack, has now been replaced by William as NSW’s top name for newborn boys in 2009. And top girl’s name – Isabella, replacing Mia.
Some interesting stats to note. 660 Williams registered with the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages last year, exactly the same number of Williams as in 2008, when it finished second. Jack dropped from 665 listings in 2008 to 585 in 2009.
Isabella jumped two places from third in 2008 to claim the girls’ title last year, with 538 listings, ahead of Chloe (521) and Charlotte (501), with Mia falling to the fourth spot.
Two new boys names – Noah and Ethan – entered the top 10, knocking out James and Benjamin.
Only one girl’s name – Ava – gave up its place in the top 10, replaced by Amelia, which was 11th in 2008.
Jeff Gilling, director of research at McCrindle Research, said names were ”all about individuality”. ”You want your child to almost be a brand. If you don’t come up with a unique name, then you come up with a unique spelling. Last year there were 14 different ways people had spelt Amelia. Parents are creating something unique.”
What are your top 5 pick of boys’ and girls’ name for 2010?

Back to School
These little kid backpacks are so cute, don’t be surprised if your kids are rearing to go back to school all geared up this summer! Another great design from SKIP HOP, the zoo packs arrived mid December just in time for Christmas. This is truly where “fun meets function”. With cute whimsical details, the zoo packs are made of durable materials and are perfect for kids on-the-go!
I must admit I was very impressed with the design and the thought process that went into creating these delightful bags. Suitable for kids age 3 and above, it’s BPA-Free, Phthalate-free and PVC Free, and has a roomy main compartment. More space for that play toy, change of clothing, reading or drawing book. There is also an insulated pouch for snacks, adjustable mesh bottle pocket, and an inner pocket for organising important drawing and coloring stationery!
The straps are padded, light and adjustable, making it easy and comfortable for little kid wearing. And no chance of losing your bag, it comes with a write-on nametag inside.
Available in four (4) designs – dog, mouse, monkey and penguin at
