I don’t know about you, but I find that sometimes with the all encompassing role of motherhood comes a feeling that sometimes you’re supermum, and sometimes you’re a failure.
Should it really be that hard to get out of the house with a newborn and not have vomit anywhere on your person? And why does heading to the shops with a toddler go hand in hand with supremo mega meltdown tantrum? Or indeed, waiting in line with a talkative kindy kid and turning red in the face when they say something hideously loud and inappropriate like “Pooohhhh mum! That man STINKS!!!”
But one thing we can count on is that even if our kids may not actually be angels, they will look super angelic and gorgeous in the new winter collection from Lillie Bee! Our fear of failure will be reduced to nothing when your little one steps out in this gorgeous range!
Armelia and Emilia are the clever mums behind Lillie Bee and this new collection sees a stunning range of kimonos, bubble dresses and pants, gorgeous t’s, plus beautiful baby onesies.
Aren’t the colour combinations just stunning and – even though ‘bubble skirts’ take me back to the rollerdrome in the 1980’s – they are just delicious and I can just imagine a little girl twirling around in one of these squealing delightedly!
And of course being the mum of a monster man, I couldn’t resist showing you my two personal faves of the winter collection – the dino and the seahorse – aren’t they just beautiful!
To keep up to date with all Lillie Bee’s news, we recommend you become a Facebook fan, plus sign up to their gorgeous newsletter and be the first to know about markets and special offers!
Thanks Lillie Bee – my fear of failure has abated!

Earlier this year during the Handmade Kids & Rudy & the Dodo Qld flood appeal auction, I was the very happy winning bidder of a gorgeous Pollykinz Designs nap mat.
I have been a fan of Pollykinz Designs beautiful handmade baby and children’s linen for a long time now and I’m so happy to now have a piece of my own! Georgi (of Pollykinz fame) took the “couldn’t do enough to help me” customer service role and I took the “indecisive customer” role. She kept in contact with me and offered helpful suggestions on picking colours for my wee man’s nap mat. It was a lovely experience!
Then my nap mat arrived in the mail; beautifully wrapped and with a personal note from Georgi – I was thrilled!
Here are some photos of the nap mat (the two on the left hand side are photos of the one that Georgi made for me) and you can have a look yourself here or on Pollykinz’s Facebook page.
I am loving Bluecaravan at the moment. So what is Bluecaravan I hear you ask?
Bluecaravan supports and promotes emerging and independent designers. They insist on ethical production both locally and overseas, and love fairtrade or sweat-free certification.
Blue Caravan is full of beautifully finished and creative items. Gorgeous one of designs, eco friendly wonders and so much more. It is a market place full of totally cool and exciting stuff and my new favourite place to browse.
Here are a few uber cool products that I am loving from Blue Caravan just for me (yup forget the kids, it is time for some mummy shopping).

Botanical Solid Perfume
M2matiz Light
Elm Design
Yogini Streetwear
As much as I love the whole sweet birds and owl thing as the next girl, it is refreshing to come across some items that have full on attitude. Our kids sometimes have attidue right? Or maybe that is just mine that feel the need to rebell against the man! It is not often we come across clothing for the kiddies that also rebels against the man.
For lots of us, hidden away deep down in our soul is a 80’s punk rocker just itching to get out, a decked out leather motorcycle mumma just looking for an excuse to cut loose. And for those of you who want something edgy for the kids, then check out below:
Lil’ Rocker Wrap
, Bohemian Babes, Baby Bones Clothing, The Alphabet Monkey Cushion.
And what good is any rock and roll star without their very own guitair. The softness of this one means it is perfect for slaming down on the stage in a milk fuelled frenzy in front of your adoring fans!
