Fit for a (little) Queen

Not every little girl grows up to be a member of the royal family, but certainly every girl should be entitled to her own crown jewels. These wooden jewelry sets by Djeco contain a necklace, bracelet, ring and hair accessories and come in their own special box just for her.

Sadly, Prince Charming is not included.

BecoPotty Test Drive!

BecoPotty Pink

Before we go any further we should say that:

1) We never intend on reviewing a toilet training product again.
2) Toilet training is not fun.

Enter Miss T, who has been bottomless for four days. She’s been having all sorts of fun.

swinging (thanks neighbours!)

and testing out her pink eco-potty by BecoThings.

We’ve had lots of celebrations – and lots of accidents – but most importantly recognized our baby girl is growing up quickly. Why do we love this potty? It’s made of waste plant material, so when Miss T is ready to move on, we can plant it in our garden where it will biodegrade. It’s also ergonomically friendly, sized just right for her little bottom and a pretty shade of pink (contrary to this one that we chose for her brother because it resembled Darth Vader’s helmet).

We’ve still got a ways to go, but we’re making progress. May the force be with us.

The BecoPotty is available here in natural, blue and pink.

Easter weekend is here!

This little bunny is hunting for clover, nibbling strawberries, sipping water from streams and hopping into her burrow for an afternoon nap.

Spring Break Playthings: Top 5

Junior Gardening Set

We’re celebrating the arrival of spring and all that comes with it, yes, even the rain. How do we pass the time away when we’re not splashing in puddles? Here are our five favourite finds for fun indoors and out.

1. The Junior Gardening Set by Seedling will come in handy when it comes time to weed and plant bulbs.
2. Mudpuppy’s My School is perfect for hours of role play at home, especially if you have more than one little one.
3. Spring is Here by Taro Gomi is a must-read, especially at this time of year. We love the simple language and beautiful illustrations and it’s a great way to introduce the change of season.
4. The Recycling Truck by Green Toys is as fun inside as it is out – it’s perfect for loading up with sand, dirt and whatever treasures you might find, and we love teaching our children about recycling old into new.
5. Mary’s Softdough in Rainbow is really the best modeling dough we’ve ever played with. Ever. We’ve been making and baking gingerbread dough cookies and birthday cakes for the past few days since it’s arrived – even our Miss T is in on the fun.

Happy Spring!

We know what time it is.

There are very few things we love less than losing an hour of sleep. Yet, to celebrate the arrival of spring and the sunlight it will bring we’ve found a fun way to spring forward in this fairy clock tutorial.

Not that handy? We have these two adorable clocks that will teach your kids how to tell time.


As for teaching them not to wake before the little hand says says 9?

We’re still working on it.
