Sister duo Carla and Bekka of divine boutique Sisters Guild always have the most fun ideas in their Monday Makery series over on their blog. Their latest is for cloud dough (also known as moon-sand) which you only need flour and baby oil to make and there’s so much play possibilities. They’ve also provided plenty of inspiration for how to make the most of it and we’ll definitely be doing this over the half-term, especially if we don’t end up with sand pit weather….

Forever on the hunt for good maternity wear, particularly good vintage maternity wear, I was immediately interested when In Pig’s email dropped in to my mailbox talking about their vintage-inspired clothing.

The debut collection consists of four pieces – my favourites are the 60s and 70s short dresses plus there’s a 70s maxi dress and classic 80s dungarees. The smock dress is available in either a soft denim or a beautiful Liberty print needlecord.

In Pig – definitely one to watch!

Eggnogg has some great colouring-in products for all ages. There are cards, bunting, placevmats and tablecloths, but I’m really loving their colour in fancy dress wings, capes and knight outfits. Seems others agree as stockists include the likes of Fenwick, The National Trust and Blackwell’s. The outfits start at just £3.99 – making them great gifts.

The fairtrade, organic childrenswear company Little Green Radicals has launched its own organic baby skincare range, featuring four products, all made from 100% natural ingredients. There’s a Nappy Balm, containing shea butter, sunflower and lavender oils, £8.95, a Sleep Balm, mixing beeswax, lavender and valerian oils, £9.95, a Chest Rub, with eucalyptus and rosemary to help sniffly babies breathe more easily, £9.95, and a Petroleum-Free Jelly, made from shea butter, Vitamin E and beeswax for sensitive skins. They all come in pleasing packaging and currently have an introductory 25% off if you enter the code ‘welcomeskincare’.

Love, love, love this super-cute rainbow design playsuit from mail-order maestros Boden. It’s cotton jersey, comes in sizes from 1.5 to 12 years and costs from £16. Swoop!
