Mother & Co. stock clothing that fits the bill perfectly, with gorgeous Baboig maternity wear, and French label Virginie Castaway, ready to lavish on all you yummy mummies.

My kids have all lived in Walnuts – they love them because they can put them on and off themselves and I love them as they wear well and can be washed easily in my washing machine. For a little bit of glamour for girls I love the Mama Papa Maya Peach TuTu and the Bonnie Young Silk Pajama Dress.

South Australia is lovely; just a few of my favourite things about it are the gorgeous beaches, beautiful architecture and lovely weather… plus it is Australia’s wine capital! The cosmopolitan suburb of Norwood, only 10 minutes from Adelaide, is also where you will find the physical home of The Infant Boutique – www.theinfantboutique.com.au. While we don’t all live in Adelaide, we can certainly all enjoy the shopping online from The Infant Boutique’s divine collection of beautiful baby gifts, baby clothing, children’s fashion, nursery furniture, bedding, nappy bags, baby carriers, books, toys, games and stationery.

I would like to include a comfy dedicated reading corner into my house to encourage literacy, and I think the Lelbys Bean Chairs (pictured at #10 below) will make a great seating option for this area. Made for children aged 1 – 5 years, they have a inner calico bag for safety and ease of cleaning, plus the outer sleeve has a child proof zip. The Infant Boutique’s Little Library category has a great selection of books to re-stock our library too. And the clothes? Oh, the clothes!

When my first son was a baby and a new walker, I was a regular customer at Tiny Steps – www.tinysteps.com.au.  Fiona was incredibly helpful when it came to helping me choose shoes for my wobbly, toddling bundle of joy, and I completely trusted her judgement as she specialises in shoes for under-twos and the specific needs of their little feet.

I came away with many a beautiful pair of little shoes, safe in the knowledge that they’d perfectly support my son’s developing feet, and having easily chosen the right size due to Tiny Steps’ comprehensive sizing guides.  The day I realised his feet had grown too big for me to shop at Tiny Steps any more was a sad one, but thank goodness I now have baby number 2, and a whole new reason to do some more miniature shoe shopping!

For anyone else who has little feet to buy for, I wholeheartedly recommend Tiny Steps.  For one thing, buying online from Tiny Steps’ huge range is so much easier than dragging a tantruming toddler through shoe shops (especially when you’re then told that they only have one or two styles in your child’s size). For another, Fiona’s customer service is legendary: FREE customised gift wrap, a no-fuss returns policy, plus the shoes are all shipped in their original boxes (always a bonus), and the site offers flat-rate express or registered postage, and orders over $150 ship free.  There are also a great range of accessories to select from from labels including Eeeni Meeni Miini Moh and BlaBla. You can see why I’ve kept going back!

There’s an extra reason to shop at Tiny Steps right now, too: in addition to a most impressive store-wide sale with up to 40% off, the wonderful Fiona is extending an additional 10% off store-wide discount to all KSF readers. Yep, up to 50% off brands including Pediped, Pedoodles, shooshoos, Sweet Shoes, diddledumpling, Bibi, Annabel Tends, 2feettall, Blabla, Kinder Clobber, SKEANIE, Cheeky Little Soles, Vessel, Scruffy Dog, Eeni Meeni Miini Moh, Woof!, Old Soles, Rileyroos and BLOCH. Woo! Enter discount code ‘KSFFEB10‘ at checkout to redeem this offer until 28 February 2010. If that doesn’t make you feel like dancing, I don’t know what will

The prices below are with the KSF discount applied (read above), while stocks last, until 28 February 2010.

1. Bibi Sneakers – Pistacchio, $56.95 $32.35
2. BLOCH Baby – Tweed Pink, $39.95 $25.87
3. Bibi Sneakers – Tan, $56.95 $32.35

Hey there lovelies! For modern parents, there seems to be an ever-growing list of things to do and think about; especially now as the “silly season” is upon us.  So I certainly hope the weekend is bringing some much needed rest and relaxation your way!

I’ve been indulging myself in one of my favourite pastimes just now.  I made myself a cup of Earl Grey, I snuck a chocolate biscuit (ok, fine, two), and I sat myself down in front of the computer and went straight to Baby’s Got Style – www.babysgotstyle.com.au.

I’m sure by now you all know about the divine range of goodness that is BGS.  You’ll know all about the ever-continuing range of hot new products that Daniela and her team work tirelessly to source, and you’ll know about how you can win a $200 BGS voucher every month simply by signing up to their newsletter.  You’ll already know all about the vast range of boutique brands stocked (see below the image collage for the full list), and you’ll probably have placed enough orders to know about the spectacular customer service provided.

It’s little wonder it’s Australia’s premier baby and kids online boutique really, isn’t it?

But have you dropped in lately and seen what’s new in store?  Personally, I’m really excited by the Purebaby Essentials range: an incredibly well-priced everyday organics range, which looks fantastic (as you’d expect from Purebaby) but also washes beautifully and feels absolutely divine (as you’d expect from Purebaby). There’s a good range of colours which can be matched or mixed according to your mood, and the cut looks so comfy (as you’d expect from Purebaby!) that I find myself wishing they’d hurry up and make an adults’ range!

Another new line instore are the Lovestamp necklaces; simple and elegant, these silver necklaces stamped with your child’s name – or children’s names, you can easily add extra tags – are an incredibly special keepsake, and would also make a beautiful gift for a grandmother, godmother or special person in your child’s life.

Baby’s Got Style have a competition running at the moment where you could win a Lovestamp Silhouette boy or girl necklace, personalised with your child’s name and valued at $99.95.  It’s easy – all you have to do is email Baby’s Got Style (with ‘Lovestamp comp’ in the subject field) and tell them in 50 words or less why you would like to wear the love.

1. Blabla Handknitted Beanie – Monkey, $39.95
2. Well Spotted Tees – ‘Talk To My Agent’, $30.00; and ‘The Force’ tee, $34.95
3. Peace Street – ‘Penelope Gypsy Dress’, $39.95; and ‘Frida Embroidered Dress’, $79.95
