As a girl mum, it was natural that I was drawn towards dressing my little one in clips and bows. However, I realized when the little ones are younger, sometimes they don’t like the fuss. It was funny to see Saira happily take out her clips the moment I fixed it on. Now that she’s {Read More…}
Kalila Organics, Singapore: Comfortable style
Often when we buy clothing for kids, you are torn between style and comfort. Sometimes, kids just want to be relaxed and wear clothes that are easy-breezy to move around in.

Susse Linton, Sweden: Surface pattern designer

Her playful kid-friendly {Read More…}

Today, on the blog, I want to introduce Heather Rosas, an illustrator and surface pattern designer based in California, USA.

Seedling, Singapore
I came across Seedling while hunting for some do-it-yourself craft boxes for my daughter. I often swoon at the lovely craft ideas on Pinterest, but often find it cumbersome to put materials together. That’s why I like companies like Seedling that are geared towards young mums who want to engage their kids but often don’t {Read More…}
