This Modern Life

I’m not one to get down about the weather, after all we live in the UK; we’re professionals at bad weather. But I have to say, this lack of sun is now starting to wear thin even on me. Firstly Florence has an entire summer wardrobe yet to make use of, secondly I’m bored of packing sunglasses, umbrella, rain coat, sun cream, rain cover, sun hat; just make your mind up weather!!!

Looking on the bright side though, the grey clouds did inspire me for this blog post, there is soooo much cool stuff for kids whatever the weather, be it cloudy, sunshine or showers.

Here’s my edit of the best…Click on the image for details.

WE LOVE MAE

Aussies do Interiors well. It’s a fact. Luckily, we don’t have to travel to the other side of the world to get a piece of it either as uber-nice lifestyle brand Love Mae is now available here thanks to S-c Brands. Add some character to your child’s nursery with some of their easy to use wall decals, like their wigwam theme or flying birds.

The best thing about these is they instantly change the feel to a room without the need of a major paint job. The decals stick to any surface and can be easily removed, so ideal for ever-changing children’s tastes.

Love Mae also has a great range of children’s dining sets. The beautiful designs include safari, woodland and fruit themed as well as many more, they’re perfect for meal times at home or picnics in the park.

Molly & The Wolf

£30 FOX PRINT DAN WALTERS

£30 Fox Print

I stumbled across Molly & The Wolf when I was compiling a page of childrenswear for one of the Sunday supplements. I was pregnant at the time and didn’t know what I was having but found myself compelled to buy something…you know, as you do. I settled on the Fantastic Fox Jumper and to this day, I bring it out the wardrobe and try it on Florence only to find it’s still too big. Most days I find myself wishing she’d stop growing up so quickly, apart from this; I want her in that Fox jumper!

Molly & The Wolf have nailed the quirky, cool and individual market. Whether you’re a Mum, a Dad, Godparent, colleague or friend buying a present for a little person, there’s endless gifts to choose from. Some such as the Balsa Wood Plane  or Kaleidoscopes will send you on a trip down memory lane whereas the shark tail or Lobster bonnet & mittens are fun and unique in their own right.

Head over to the website now and grab a bargain in their amazing sale. Also you lucky MOTHERSHOP readers can enjoy a exclusive discount on all full priced items. Just enter ‘Mshop20’ at the checkout for 20% off. 

As for me, I’m off to try the Fox Jumper on Florence one more time…
