There are so many adorable baby moccasins out there at the moment. My favourite are from the British brand Amy & Ivor and they have a good range of limited edition styles out at the moment. Maybe it's because baby is on the way or deep down I wish they did these in adult sizes but I have become obsessed with these cute little slip ons, here is my edit of the best out there...

It's chilly out there as winter is really in full swing and we dream of having a snowy white Christmas. With a January baby due I've been looking at all the lovely cosy baby products out there. There are some fab independent brands offering high quality knitwear to wrap your small ones up in. Mama Owl, Petite Albion and This Little being our favourite websites to look at and buy from.

We recently heard about BKD, an award winning children's baking company, and loved the idea of their little baking kits as stocking fillers and Christmas presents. I strongly believe in getting kids involved in cooking as much and as early as possible to really understand food and where it comes from.

I am so happy to see another mama (and friend) set up a brilliant new business (please support independent and small businesses!) and even more happy that it's selling kids teepees!! Wildfire Teepees is the name and how fab is her branding - we love the feel of her 'new adventure with her little Indians'.

More Christmas preparation - this time stocking fillers! I feel this year will be the first time Finn will understand and get excited by a properly packed stocking filled with small wrapped gifts from Santa. There are some great ideas out there and I really want to support independent shops and websites this year so here is my unisex stocking filler edit.

We've just got back from a chilly and wet weekend in Suffolk where we stayed in an amazing Airbnb property that I have to tell you about! We want to make the most of the calm there is at the moment before baby 2 arrives in January so thought a fun weekend away just the 3 of us was just what the doctor ordered.

Yes it's that time of year to start thinking about a Christmas jumper for your little ones (if it's your kind of thing!). Do you go tacky and cheesy or subtle and tasteful with some fairisle knits? There are some great styles out there, my absolute favourite are the Tootsa MacGinty collaboration with the Conran Shop, all based on vintage 1950s designs, they have 4 to pick from but I can't decide which one!

Who doesn't love a bit of Charlie Brown and Snoopy?? Whilst most kids may not know who these vintage 50's comic strip then 80's TV characters are it definitely rings a bell with my childhood and feels very nostalgic. We were lucky enough to go along to the launch of the Gap Kids x Peanuts range yesterday at their flagship Bond Street store.

I try to buy a nice hat (normally more than £20) for Finn to wear on mama days and weekends and then a more basic budget hat (around a fiver) for him to have at nursery that I don't mind getting trashed or lost.

So I know we like to focus on the nice things in life here on Finlay Fox - shopping, cool clothes, gifts and treats for ourselves and kiddies - but the main reason for that is to make our lives a little bit happier each day as parenthood can be SO TOUGH! I know that when I had Finn I had NO IDEA how much my life would change and be all consumed by baby.

Little Goldie is a relatively new website set up by lovely local Stoke Newington mama Sonali. I've just been to her pop up shop in London Fields (at Fount Place, on until Sunday) and I think her stand out pieces are her beautifully curated selection of wooden toys.

We had a great afternoon last week at mega textile designer Donna Wilson's Snug and Pop up Shop in East London (unfortunately it's finished now). It was part of the London Design Festival and seemed to be the only real child friendly attraction around.
