How did you decide upon baby names?
Was it a straightforward process? Tense?
Did you looked deep into their eyes straight after birth and the name came to you, right there and then?
With less than 10 weeks until we welcome Baby #3 Earthside, we’re in the complicated depths of the Name Game.
We don’t want anything too common. Nor too wacky. As a teacher, approximately 55% of all names are ruled out because they remind me of a kid I once taught.
Here are our 12 fail-safe steps to finding the perfect baby name.
(N.B You probably don’t want to follow our steps because WE STILL DON’T HAVE A NAME.)
Did you have a pen pal as a kid? I did (several!) and I loved the process of selecting the perfect stationery, penning my thoughts and sending those letters off to seemingly far-flung places.
Today I’m excited to welcome lovely Katie to the blog!
She’ll be sharing with you ways to set up a letter exchange for your kids. Katie also shares some fabulous books to bring the world into the hands of your littles.
C.S. Lewis once wrote that “the sight of the huge world put mad ideas into me, as if I could wander away, wander forever, see strange and beautiful things, one after the other.”
Shannon and I are excited to share a super fun way to fill your kiddo with those mad ideas about strange and beautiful things, without ever leaving your home.
Think of Tash from Gift Grapevine as your Fairy Godmother of Gift Ideas.
She’s the lady to visit when you’re wondering “What do I buy an X year old?”
She blogs about gorgeous gift ideas for babies and toddlers.
Apart from that, she is fun, witty and just plain lovely. And has an awesome taste in music. You need to read more about Tash’s first ever concert experience (it’s a bit cute.)
Today she’s rocking out on my blog and it’s awesome to have her here.
Introducing Tash.
Welcome to the Week of the Bunny!
How is Easter celebrated at your place?
Easter is my favourite of all the celebrations.
It just doesn’t have the “pressure” associated with Christmas. I find it a much more laid back affair.
Plus, chocolate.
Here are some of my Easter-y faves from around the Web.
I have professed my love for Instagram on numerous occasions.
And I’m going to do it again.
Without sounding all gushy, I really love Insty for it’s ability to connect people.
The whole attracting your tribe thing.
Rewind 2 years ago and I never would have imagined that there existed a whole group of people, scattered to all corners of the Earth, who also loved my weird mish-mash of interests to the same degree: picture books, craft, bright colours, sarcasm…. Or that this whole group of people were just. so. nice.
Um, I’m sorry. Wasn’t it just Christmas?
How exactly do we find ourselves in February?
(Incidentally, today I finished the very last of the “Christmas chocolates.” Hurrah!)
January was a whirlwind.
Here are the perfectly imperfect creative adventures that happened here in the first month of 2016.
