Fab things found online…

How funky are these toiletry bags from Pottery Barn? (if only we had Pottery Barn in SA!)

I love old-fashioned things and love all crocheted stuff. My mom crocheted a beautiful yellow blanket for me when I was a baby, and I still have it along with another throw my Gran made. Here, I found some really cute crocheted toddler bags. So, if you know how to crochet, please try making them and I’ll buy one from you!

Anyone with a toddler knows that discipline is necessary, but if you are not a fan of smacking or bribing, and speaking firmly has stopped working, what do you do? Well, there is time out. The thing is, you are not supposed to send your child to her bedroom as it is supposed to make her associate her room with punishment and that will effect her sleeping etc, or she will just play and that defeats the purpose. But then one is not sure where the appropriate punishment spot actually is. Bathrooms and kitchens are dangerous, so what do you do? Well, here is the solution from timeoutspots.com, in the form of an actual time-out spot! Pretty cool solution. I wonder if it would work?

If you are having a baby, check out these beautiful Moses baskets as well as the beautiful cot, stunning quilt and funky wall decor for inspiration.

Definitely on my wish list…
These pendants engraved with your child’s name and shown here with the relevant birthstone are just stunning. Theses are from hotmamadesigns.com in the USA but I have seen similar here. I also love the ones where you can have a little thumbprint of your child done as well.
