Kids rooms are always so much fun to design, style and decorate. It has been a bit of an evolving process getting my kids rooms finished so I thought I'd share some pics of what they currently look like, otherwise it will never happen!
Read moreOlive Loves Alfie East
Olive Loves Alfie has always been our local kids' clothes store on Church Street in Stoke Newington, N16. It's been around for 9 years now and has stood the test of time, always stocking a cool edit of the best of British, Scandi and Spanish kids brands. I probably go in there once a week to have a look at all the beautiful clothes as they stock our favourites including Mini Rodini, Tootsa MacGinty and Saltwater Sandals.
Read moreLittle Cloud
Little Cloud is a children's decoration and accessories brand with all pieces handmade in England ('up North'). We love Little Cloud as they use our favourite classic Liberty prints and have also collaborated with children's illustrator Cassie Loizeaux on some musical cushions.
Read moreAvery Row Playmats
Avery Row make beautiful, luxury playmats. We have been using our Go Everywhere Mat since baby Violet was born and it has been super useful, this is what we love about it so far: It looks gorgeous - the soft print, colours and quality of the trims - we get lots of compliments on it. A pop of colour leather strap holds it all easily in place when you roll it up.
Read moreLittle House of Hackney
If you're a House of Hackney fan beware! They have just launched Little House of Hackney - interiors, home accessories and a beautiful capsule kids range in collaboration with La Coqueta (a London based children's brand). As you may or may not know House of Hackney is pretty expensive but if you're a sucker for the iconic palm print then check the collection out, it is amazing!!

Easter Bunnies
Happy Easter! Enjoy the hot cross buns, daffodils, easter egg hunts and chocolate mess... I love this time of year, especially if the sunshine chooses to show itself. I'm looking forward to some special time away with my little bunnies

Photo taken from OYOY website
There are some great rugs out there for kids rooms that wouldn't look out of place in a normal room too. We just bought this OYOY adventure one for the new babies room and it's brilliant - Finn has already been pushing his cars around on it...
Read moreNursery Shelves & Toy Storage
With less than (I've had to change this so many times it's taken me so long to write a new post!) 2 weeks until my due date I'm starting to think about the new babies room! Yes it's cutting it a bit fine, I guess I had better make it look like I'm getting ready to nest and feel a bit more in control of what's about to happen!
Read moreSleeeeep....Gro Clock review
Sleep is one of the most important things for your little ones, but more selfishly how important it is for us! Some are lucky and it's a breeze whilst for others it can be a rollercoaster of emotions and an ongoing battle.
Read moreNew cool brand: Wildfire Teepees!
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'.
Read moreShop Independent this Christmas! Kids Stocking Fillers edit
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.

Read moreBaby Christmas Ideas: Little Goldie website
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.
Read moreWe LOVE Donna Wilson
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.
Read moreHIGH FIVE!
We think these screen prints, all by graphic designer Chris James, are great. The High Five would look good in an older kids room and the Jungle and Cactus prints would work well in a nursery (how amazing as a set of 3!).
Read moreAugust High Street finds
I know a lot of the finds I write about can be quite pricey, especially when you're shopping on a tight budget. I love the Great British High Street for more affordable finds and bargains.
