Beanwear - uber cool threads for uber cool kids

Sometimes I get a little sick of the enormous price tags attached to the more unique and funky clothes out there for kiddies. I'm all for supporting NZ stores (and I do when I can) but sometimes, when you're on one income, it can get a bit pricey!

That's where Beanwear comes in. George (a friend of a friend who was a tad fed up with the big prices) traveled to India recently and got a whole bunch of super cute threads made for babies and toddlers - mainly girls but there's quite a few things that could double as unisex. 

There's everything from gorgeous singlets to harem pants (think MC Hammer with an eastern feel) and all pieces are cotton/lycra in the most stunning earth colours. The best bit? They start from only $5.50!

So whether you're looking for something a little different, durable and super comfy for your wee one or as a gift, get Beanwearing now!

Little Red gets a bit cute

I just had to post this photo that I took of Redford this morning - it just melts my heart!

The boy loves his toys!

You shall not woo me, Chrisco man

I searched for a picture of this man, but perhaps it's a better idea that I don't put one up and instead resort to the above because even though it's corny as heck it beats this guy.

Question: Do you have any idea who I'm talking about? If not, be glad. If you do, you'll understand that I'm talking about the "good looking" British dude that's taken over the Chrisco ads in the hopes of (I'm assuming) appealing to SAHM's appreciation of "good looking" British dudes thus forking out their husband's hard earned cash for a Chrisco hamper. Sexist, much?

Now I have to admit I am incredibly partial to a man with a smooth, sexy English accent. I am not, however, impressed by a man who was obviously a used car salesman in his last life that talks like David Beckham and looks like a real estate agent/strip club owner. Nor am I wooed in the slightest by him calling me a "gorgeous kiwi Mum". And it seems I'm not the only woman to feel this way considering the line has now changed to "smart and gorgeous kiwi Mum". Oh I feel so much better now! I'm gorgeous and smart. Yippee! I'm awesome and all yours, Chrisco man.

Is there anything that Chrisco doesn't do? Well, it certainly doesn't make me want to drop my knickers and most definitely not my moolah in this guy's pocket just for some measly biscuits. You're gonna have to work harder than that.

Yours sincerely,
(Much more than just a) smart and gorgeous kiwi Mum.

You know you're a Mum when....

you're really, really good at catching vomit.
