Even been on an aeroplane with a toddler on a long haul flight? Sydney to LA then New York is about as far as it gets. You wonder what to take to keep them occupied on the plane, what and how many snacks and fave toys will do the trick, and then wonder how you are going to carry it all, plus the nappy bag,
your carry-on bag, not to mention another infant and then eventually the toddler themself as they decide they don't want to walk any further just as you receive a last call to board the flight that is miles away in an adjoining terminal. Phew, it is exhausting thinking about it and enough to turn you off the experience. Enter
Trunki. The perfect carry-on bag for children that is big enough to hold said toys & snacks not to mention the best feature - the fact it turns into a little pull along cart that the toddler can sit on and be pulled along when they get tired. From first hand experience, as you can see in the picture, little Gigi had a ball being pulled along on her Trunki and the fact that is was pink, her favourite colour, was even better. Check out the website for
Trunki as they are launching a cute new unisex moo cow pattern that is just adorable. Gigi is also carrying a 2-in-1 Harness Buddy Poodle, available from
Amazon.com, which was very handy at Disneyland as it doubles as a back pack to hold a few little things (toddler sunnies and a toy mobile phone in our case) as well as allowing mum or dad to keep a firm hold on their little one when they try to take off.

What a fantastic and very cute idea to brighten up a plain wall in your little princess' room. Little Chipipi is an Australian owned and produced range of removable wall stickers that come in 4 different themes - 2 for boys and 2 for girls. They also sell fridge magnets & greeting cards - why not check out their website for stockists in your state. I am actually thinking the butterfly stickers would look great in my office....
While in the market for one of their cool, reversible nappy bags (that is for another post, another day), I met the Isoki girls at a baby expo last year and noticed they had these little slippers for sale. They are so cute and soft, and come beautifully presented in a little drawstring bag. A very sweet gift for any little girl who loves to wear slippers like mummy - just as my two do 
When you become parents you are forever taking photos of your kids but there is alot to be said about having some professional shots taken. It is always a dilemma to find a good photographer, one who gives you what you pay for as well as provides a great experience on the day. After all, if the kids are relaxed, then you will get some great images. The above photograph of my gorgeous girls speaks for itself. We chose Hawkins Photography because we liked the images on their website & wanted more casual, outdoor shots as apposed to studio portraits. We had a lovely morning on the beach in Sydney & this is just one of many photographs we had to choose from. A father himself, Lyndon had a lovely rapport with the kids and they had a lot of fun which came through in all the shots. I can safely say we are very happy customers. Christmas is just around the corner so if you are looking for a great present for the grandparents, contact Hawkins Photography through their website.
If you are looking for a gorgeous gift for a gorgeous little girl, you can't go past baby bling! I was looking for a unique gift for a christening present when I found this New Zealand based company who specialise in child sized, genuine, cultured freshwater pearl jewellery. Little Pearls for Little Girls are sold online through Little PJ's online nursery boutique and they are so beautiful, I actually bought a bracelet each for my little girls. The attention to detail is exceptional, from the sterling silver filigree clasp, to the lovely organza packaging and pink satin ribbon. Antonia and her team were an absolute pleasure to deal with. The bracelets come in 3 sizings, up to 10 years old, and the necklace in 2 sizings. They would also make a great present for a flowergirl, or as a holy communion gift - little girls love jewellery (I know mine definitely do!) and this kind of gift is a keepsake they can hold onto and pass on to their children one day. Little PJ's have several other nursery items in their boutique, so I would definitely recommend you have a look - http://www.littlepjs.com/
