I've just ordered the classic Babycupcake - essentially a newborn outfit, blanket and socks rolled up to look like a pretty cake - for a friend. Still waiting for it to arrive but will report back soon with the outcome!

Little Kickers provides approved football training from 2 years till 5th birthday! How exciting - we love soccer and they've just started classes at Holly's childcare centre. As you can imagine we are signed up, and she wore the Man U shirt (No 7, Ronaldo) to her first lesson.

I turned up to have a peek, and although Holly ceased to participate in class from that point (her choosing, not mine or the teacher's), it looked like a lot of fun. I will make a mental note to stay out of it next week!

..Brisbane's newest kids boutique - owned and run by the lovely Tracy Eldon (Mum to Holly's friend, Bella). Pop in and see her awesome range soon - some great and exclusive stuff!

She has an online store coming soon too, so those not able to get to Brisbane can enjoy the fun too!

We like. You too?

This great idea from Hans im Gluck by Jan Dobmaier caught my eye this morning on swissmiss.

Carry your stuff down to the beach in the towel, lay it out, have your fun times and then bundle it all up to take home again. Life should be so good everyday!

Ros Davidson, founder of Brisbane Mums and Bubs knows her stuff and is worth a look if you need any advice re your little one......

I remember how ugly the family sleeping bag was when I was a kid.

I wouldn't have felt this way if Mum had shelled out on one of these beauties from Anorak!. Bring on the sleep overs!

I'm heading in a new career direction for all the right reasons!

Pilates is the most intelligent and sophisticated exercise method available and I am proud to join the ranks with Studio Pilates International.

Pilates is a safe and effective exercise for pregnant mums, up to the 3rd trimester. And it's great for reshaping your mid-section post baby.

I am so excited to combine my university degree, love of fitness and knowledge of pregnancy in such a meaningful way. I urge all Mums to give us a call and learn how to maximise your precious exercise time.
