Baby moccasins from Sweden

I love finding new brands and products via my Instagram account. Let's be honest a baby moccasin isn't all that new anymore but I really like the Swedish MINI MOCKS ones. All handmade with environment-friendly, vegetable tanned leather  from Sweden. Wonder which veggies they use? The pink double fringe ones are called Flamingo (how suitable is that!) and these cute neutral ones are named Grandpa. If the double fringe would also be available in neutral I'd want them both for my baby.

Deeply, madly and heavenly in love

Is it because I still embrace the inner child or because I love a bit of humor in ones interior? I really have fallen for the prints by the Swedish ISA Form. The colors are spot on and I like the clean cut lines and finishing touches such as the rosy cheeks.

What inspired me on Instagram: G.Nancy

I was at a birthday party the other day explaining how I managed to find all this online inspiration while being a mother of 2 boys (one 21 months and one 8 weeks old). Where did I find the time? I find that more and more it just comes knocking on my doorstep. Through Instagram for instance. This is another great shop from New Zealand that just happened to find me on this platform. 

I love the robes by G.Nancy, specially this flamingo (is that because I am a boys mom...) and the elephant. But there's more. Cute organic pj's and a wide range of happy socks.  

What inspired me on Instagram: Pop Factory Shop

I absolutely LOVE Instagram. The most serious addiction I've ever had. Actually met some people in real life that I got to know through Instagram. And I keep finding these amazing nice products and inspirations. So I've decided to make a new regular blog category: What inspired me on Instagram.
Like this Bigcartel Pop Factory Shop. Found them through the Bridget Lee account. They have masks and capes for kids, these golden decals you see above (the Dream on Dream Lion would be great for Maas) and very sweet the Sun up till sun down print.

Can't wait to put my babies legs in these little leggings

When your kids are little I don't feel you should bother them with jeans. They should explore their little world in comfortable soft clothing. There are more and more nice brands coming out with great prints. And I was happy to spot these little cuties by House of Mia. Leggings available for both toddlers as well as older kids. 

Also fallen for the cute colorful little shoes. They're by Freshly Picked who recently got nominated for the Martha Stewart American Made award. 

A cute ETSY discovery: Pink Cheeks Studios

I absolutely melted when I spotted these creations by the Pink Cheeks Studios on Etsy. They are the little treasures by Nichol Brinkman from LA. With great imagination and skills she makes these original products. Highlights for me are most definately the family mobiles and these little paintings. Would love to get my hands on some of these items. Below some more eye candy. Make sure you visit her blog to see her latest creations and to see how her workspace looks.

Endless hours of fun and play with these XL coloring prints

How amazing are these supersized coloring pictures by KEK AMSTERDAM. Available in the prints To the stars, In the forest and In the city. Make sure the older kids don't have any homework that needs to be done first because once you get started there is no stopping to see the result grow and grow. A great idea to keep kids entertained without anything starting with an 'i'.
Another thing I love about these is the price. For only € 7,95 you don't have to break the bank to get your own.

The best and the worst

The best thing about 10IS (pronounced Ten-is) is their collection. They have a color and style for every ones. And I will find it hard to believe that you cannot pick a favorite one. At the same time the worst thing about 10IS is their collection. So much to choose from that it is making my eyes blurry. Do you go for jeans, or coral and maybe the green ones... Here's a list of retailers that stock their collection.

Dress me up in handmade

If you're a lover of something original for your little girls than Two Els is an online must visit. This brand founded in NYC only started this summer with their first collection. But how promising was it and is their new preview of the autumn/winter season. It's clothes that put a smile on my face and that will suit the cheeky little girls really well. I'm an all boys mom otherwise these would go straight to my wish list.

I can highly recommend lötiekids

Sometimes I get some products from a sponsor. I enjoy that because of course I love a present now and than and second because I get to test their products. And in all fairness... it's easier to recommend something if you've tried it yourself.
For lötiekids clothes from Barcelona my little boy was the one to do the testing. We've tried some shirts and shorts and I must say I really really love them. The material is really soft and holds well after washing, as well as the colors. And they've thought of little ones by putting buttons around the neckline making it easy to put on and off. What I personally like is the amazing prints. Beautiful detailed fishes, bikes, houses and now with the new collection sea stars and kangaroos.
Luckely I'm not the only one loving the lötiekids products. I've spotted some other (Dutch) users in my Instragram feed and they are also very fond of this brand. 

A kids play, learn, read area

We all know the old school tables and chairs for kids that are really cute. But the style doesn't fit in every interior anymore. I really enjoy looking at these colorful and straight lined designs by Small-Design from Denmark. You can choose your own color and combine the table with a little sofa or a bench. Great fun for kids and lovely design for the parents.

Goodnight sweetheart, sweet dreams...

After all the amazing Animal bedding by By Nord and the affordable look a likes by H&M home it's time to treat the kids to what they REALLY like. Sleeping like a true Astronaut or a Princess in a dream pink dress would be a huge treat for a kid. The Dutch brand SNURK has made this possible by expanding their 'for horizontal living' collection with these kids line.

A great campaign for a Kids Concept store

Photographer: Jan Bijl

I really like this campaign I spotted at WeWantWow. It's from BonBon on the Block a shop in Rotterdam, the city where I lived in The Netherlands. It shows dads that dress their kids photographed in their own home. Such a fun, everyday, normal, not overstyled way to do it.
Also like what Vincent has to say about his kids 'The kids confront us both with our short comings as talents as a parent'.  

An easy dose of adding some color

Such a cute decoration idea for adding a bit of color to a room or a party. A garland of colorful felt in circles and traingles. Available at the Land of Nod in every color you can think of. The Land of Nod is also one of the Instagram accounts that I really enjoy following. They are opening a few new shops in the US and show you in steps how they DIY decorate them.

The best toddler bed ever

After about 16 months of (not allways voluntarily) cosleeping we're considering getting our little boy a toddler bed. Looking online at the options I came across this amazing junior bed by Kalon Studios called Caravan Divan. Available in several detail colors that will suit your kidsroom decor. I love the legs, the little differences in wood color and the attention of detail. And yes, they can live up to their slogan.
