As I write this I have *all* three children asleep – trust me, this is a feat that rarely happens! A lot can be said for silence when there is usually three mini chatterboxes running around. Without the alternating giggles and cries of the 8-month old, the little chatter of the two-year old and the rough and tumble of the four-year old, I finally have a chance to start chatting myself about the fabulous store Mini Chatterbox – www.minichatterbox.com.au.

Mini Chatterbox has a gorgeous array of kids’ clothing and accessories. They make Christmas shopping easy with categories including the What We Love and What’s New category which highlight some delightful pieces from some of our favourite brands. If you are looking for a special Christmas day outfit for your little ones then look to the What’s New category where you can pick up gorgeous pieces like the beautiful, organic cotton Purebaby Shirred Dress in a blueberry floral print.

The On Sale section is a must see for those looking for a bargain without sacrificing on style. The Tommy Rocket No Rude Finger Tank is so cool for little boys on a warm day, and at 50% off it’s a total steal. The Moppit Charity Pink Dress also stands out for its floaty shape and soft baby pink cotton jersey – pretty and comfy. The Alimrose Design Teething Rings also deserve a special mention. They have transformed the traditional gel teething moulds into a gorgeous accessory that any mother would be proud to have their baby resting their gums on; a perfect gift for a little babe.

To help you prepare for the silly season, Mini Chatterbox is offering KidStyleFile readers a massive 20% off all full-priced items, plus free shipping on orders over $150.  And if you’ve been hoping to get your hands on one of the coveted Cocoon Couture Bean Bags for your child’s room, now is the time to buy – a library bag is being thrown in for *free* with each bean bag sold!

My little Miss N never stops talking from the moment she wakes up, until the moment she drifts off to sleep. She is extremely inquisitive and is forever asking questions, listing her favourite people (this one is become quite a lengthy list) or just walking around touching things and naming them. At the moment, her favourite topic of conversation is a toss up between Santa Claus and the gifts he is apparently leaving her – “a bunny” (hmm…hope she means the toy version), ” a dress” (easy peasy), and “cooking” (yes, we watched a little Masterchef in our house this year).

With such a little chatterbox in my house, it’s surely fate that today I visit Mini Chatterbox – www.minichatterbox.com.au – who will have no trouble filling Miss N’s Christmas wishlist this year. The abundance of stylish threads, accessories, playthings and kids items across the store will also ensure that I have an opportunity to pick up a few last minute gifts for the extended family while I am at it too.

As avid Masterchef fans, I’m ashamed to admit that we missed the live stage show in Sydney this week. However, thanks to Mini Chatterbox, we can recreate many of the menu items with a selection of Junior Masterchef kits. My Master R is a star when it comes to dressing a pizza base, so I think a Pizza Chef kit should find itself wrapped and under our tree this year – you need to embrace their talents, right?  Perhaps I should also snap up the Junior Masterchef Apron set as well so he can dress the part. With 10% 0ff all Junior Masterchef items (prices as marked) it’s hard to say no!

Back to Miss N’s wishlist.  I have so many choices at Mini Chatterbox to fill her dress request. Do I choose the ever whimsical Mini Treasures Maddison Swing Dress in stone, or the Cocoon Pink Stripe Swing Dress? Perhaps the Baobab Mint Stag Print Ruffle Dress? Oh geez, with so many choices I am going to find it hard settling on one!  Luckily, the bunny selections are not as difficult – we’re snapping up the Bebe Mario Rabbit (shhh… don’t tell!).

Jamey at Mini Chatterbox knows just how difficult it can be to stick within budget at Christmas time, so to help you stretch your dollar that much needed bit further, she is slashing 30% off all full priced items across Mini Chatterbox for the next 5 days. Enter discount code KSF30 at checkout before midnight 18 December 2010 to redeem. Be sure to skip over to the sale section for bargains up to 70% off while you’re there, too. If your cart tips over the $150.00 mark you will also qualify for FREE postage so shop and save!

I love to eavesdrop on the conversations that take place between little people. The two things coming in high priority of the sibling chatter of my children at moment are Christmas and food – a winning combination of two great kiddy passions!  Just yesterday, amidst the rush of getting ready for school, there was a lengthy discussion about the man in the big red suit, and most importantly what my boys were going to cook his reindeer!!  If you’re shopping for some mini chatterboxes, or junior master chefs – or both- this year, then Mini Chatterbox – www.minichatterbox.com.au has you well and truly covered.

If a new wave of kitchen inspiration has hit your place make sure you help your kids whip Santa up (and you while they’re at it!) something fabulous for his Christmas Eve snack, with a Junior Master Chef kit. Designed for little hands each Junior Masterchef kit contains cooking utensils and recipes. Stocks are limited and just like the popularity of the show, these kits are racing out the doors like hotcakes, so get in quick to avoid disappointment.

As we draw closer to Christmas we all have our eye out for any extra sugar on offer from our favourite online boutiques and Mini Chatterbox deliver all this with a cherry on top right now.  Those Masterchef kits? 10% off!!  Cocoon Couture bean bags? 10% off, too, plus you will receive a *free* Cocoon Couture Library Bag valued at $14.95 with every Cocoon Couture bean bag purchase. You’ll also receive an exclusive 20% off all current season full-priced items when you enter code style at checkout until 30 November 2010, and don’t forget the sale section with bargains of up to 50% off.

I make a point of bringing my family together at the dinner table every single night. It is an opportunity for us to reconnect, chat about the day, talk about the news and begin discussion about upcoming events. As a member of a rather large, multi-generational family dinner time can become very loud and busy. Our children play centre stage, their chatter leading to their grandparents re-telling family tales. However, since the arrival of Master Chef, many dinner times have become taste testing times, with the latest recipe prepared with great enthusiasm (and eaten with great gusto).

Mini Chatterbox – www.minichatterbox.com.au- is a gorgeously robust and bright store that brings together, much like a family dinner, a wealth of different styles and tastes that sit perfectly together in the one place. Here you will find  Aden & Anais, Alimrose Design, b. box, Bebe, Bebe Jnr, Carters, Chalk n Cheese, Cocoon, Cocoon Couture, Ellani Petite, Fixoni, Gymboree UK, Jarmeez, Junior Master Chef, Mill & Mia, MiniChatterbox, Moppit, Old Soles, Olli & Pop, Polarn O. Pyret, Purebaby, Rising Star, Sooki Baby, Tommy Rocket, Woof, Two Belles and Walnut.

With Junior Master Chef hitting our screens in September, Mini Chatterbox have introduced the Junior Master Chef kits to their wares, and have them on offer at 10% off RRP until 31 August 2010. Each kit contains cooking utensils and recipes and is specifically designed for little hands. If the previews are anything to go by, kids are quick upskill in the kitchen and it is an optimal opportunity to teach healthy easting habits! (I’m actually a little apprehensive about watching the new series. Those kids look like they really *can* cook, which will put my specialty – Tuna Bake – to shame, I’m sure!).

Mini Chatterbox is also adding new Spring/Summer 2010-11 releases to their shelves each day. With a fondness for wall stickers (I love to change and redo them regularly – so fun and easy!), I love the new Little Chipipi additions.  I’m also looking forward to the release of the Mini Treasures Emily Ribbon Dress (#3) which is the perfect special occasion dress for Miss N, and for Master R, the Walnut Zip Top High Cuts (#8).

Right now until 31 August 2010, Jamey of Mini Chatterbox, is offering all KSF readers 20% off all full priced items in-store plus FREE postage, Australia-wide, when you spend $150+. To take advantage of this offer, load up your cart with your choices and use coupon code ‘style‘ at check out.

P.S. Make sure you check out the on sale section at Mini Chatterbox for up to 50% off end of sale stock; you’ll be very glad you did
