For many of you, this week has been a week of firsts.  It may have been your kidlets first day at school, preschool or day care…their first tooth, first step, first time on the potty….or maybe, the first time they slept through the night (I wish!). My Keiko – www.mykeiko.com.au - meaning  ”My 慶子 ” or roughly “My celebrate child”  is true to it’s name, with an abundance of treats to help you everyday of the week.

We often forget the other siblings that are left behind when one of our children begins school. Ruby Makes a Friend Written by Tina Burke is the perfect book to read to a sibling who has bravely waved goodbye to their older brother or sister for the day. The book introduces us to ‘Ruby’ who solemnly watches her big brother go off to school. She creates an imaginary friend to fill the void and has many adventures with him. In no time Ruby starts school (doesn’t it feel like in a blink of an eye they’re off to school?) herself and meets more friends. This book explores friendships, imagination and fun!

When Mister R was born I was given a gorgeous baby book to record all of his milestone and special moments. One of the mistakes I did make, not being a real crafty person, was using a plain old office ink pad to stamp his little feet and place them in his baby book! Baby wipes would not remove the stain on his little feet….even a half hour soak didn’t work! Oh how I wish I had know about Belly Art – Inkless Print Kits.  No stains. Just a precision imprint of bubs tootsies! Many maternity hospitals also use this fantastic kit.

Packing for trips with the kidlets often requires a checklist: water – check; snacks – check; nappies and wipes – check; spare clothes, um….. Yep, for me I often forget to replace the t-shirt I used last week, or the pants Miss N removed from the bag when it became cloudy and her skirt was not warm enough.  If I’m going to forget something, it’s the spare clothes that I omit. Babysparewear is a concept I think would make my life a little easier. Each set comes with a few basic pieces that make a complete outfit, are packed in a slim line travel case and are made with lightweight 100% cotton, jersey cotton or organic cotton depending on the pack.  Watch out – Babysparewear is reduced to clear! Grab your pack whilst stocks last.
