Moments | Weekend

M wears: Hoodie by Witchery Kids, leggings by Molo, skirt by Molo, shoes by Native. D wears: Jacket by Geggamoja, pants by Rittenhouse, beanie by Mini Rodini, shoes by puma.

Gosh the weekend just disappeared! I know most weekends feel like they just go in a hurry but this one took the cake! It might have had something to do with the cold weather and the limited time you could spend outside before the chills got your bones. It is such a different cold Down Under compared to the Scandinavian cold that I am used to. The winter sort of sneaks up on you here, while in Sweden it just hits you and hard. You can still see Australian kids running around in t-shirts and shorts here, and sometimes not even with shoes on! It is like they have missed the memo that winter has arrived completely. Luckily my kids loves their beanies and the thinner ones are great here to cover small ears from chilly winds.

During the weekend I changed a few things on the blog. I personally like larger images on blogs so I fixed the width and some other small things so if some post look a bit strange just bare with me and I will fix it as I go along. I hope you like the new size.

Moments | Keeping Warm

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

M wears:
Jacket by Molo // grandpa shirt by BIG // whale longsleeve by Bobo Choses // jeans by Seed // beanie by Snow Drop // shoes by Natives. D wears: Sweatshirt by Munster // jeans by Zara // beanie by Mini Rodini. Mum: Purse by Polkka Jam

The cold weather continues down here. At least we didn't got rained on today (even though D insisted on wanting to walk with an umbrella). We rugged up and after a slow breakfast we went to get some fresh air. It was windy down by the waterfront so M got a chance to try out her new Molo soft shell jacket that we got from VixVax. Two thumbs up! Light enough to not get hard to move around in but since it is wind and water proof it also keeps the body warm. I think it must be the best sort of jacket for this country! After a quick lunch in the open, it was a bit of fun time and the kids kept taking turns to jump on poor Dad. He had a celebration last night with his work so I bet 2 heavy kids on top of you quickly make you realize a late night partying doesn't really add up with energetic kids the next morning..haha. We are hoping for a warmer sunnier day tomorrow. Why does weekends have to go so fast??

Marimekko

Photobucket
There are so much to love about Finnish Marimekko, but it wasn't until recently that I knew they had a children's range as well. Happy colours designed by Marimekko's talented design team can only lead to happy clothes right? Loving the stripes, dots and funky mixes. Be sure to check out the whole range on their website.

Cook-A-Doodle-Do!

It is incredible cold today! I know, I know... how cold could it be in Australia right? Well with no double glass windows or radiators inside it is actually very cold on a day like today. No end of the rain in sight the only place you can be is actually inside under a blanket. Even thought these sort of days are not my favorite it does give you a good excuse to just chill out and not do too much, but drink hot drinks and steal cuddles from your 2 year old. I had to show you this rooster (yep its a female rooster... there you go!) my daughter came home with yesterday. She made it in school in art class and I have to say I am impressed! Love the quirky eyes, neat fabric and pink awesomeness! I think this one is a keeper! Have a lovely weekend out there, and if you are in Europe I hope the early summer will treat you nice and if you are in OZ, keep warm and lets hope the sun will come out to say hello.. at least once!

H&M HOME for KIDS!

Photobucket Photobucket
Just as I was scratching my head for the 10th time to find some nice and more easy on the wallet alternative for bedlinen and home accessories for kids I stumble over the Swedish, Hus & Hem article about how H&M is starting a kids range in their HOME collection this Autumn! The above photos are from their new range and I have to say I am loving it! Happy colours and animal patterns can hardly go wrong now can it?? There will also be a baby section and both will be in organic cotton to boot. Keep an eye out this Autumn on their website.
