Perfect Gifts For Mums and Bubs
In the lead up to Christmas here are some perfect gifts for mums and bubs.
It’s no secret that when you welcome a new baby into the world, the focus is often entirely on them. While this is great, it can mean the mother gets forgotten in the process, and after the huge role she has played, she deserves to be showered with gifts!
How To Make Your Home Safe for Your Children
Here are some great tips shared with The Baby Vine about how to keep your home safe for your children.
So you think you are ready for your child to start moving around the house? Everything is childproof, soft and safe. Are you sure? Childproofing a home might not be as easy as you think. Studies show that when first-time mums of kids aged 12 to 36 months were asked to point out potential hazards, they were able to identify only around 50%, which was quite scary.
Wobbel Board
If you are looking for a gift that will entertain your little ones for hours on end, then this is it. I had never heard of the Wobbel board before, but was immediately intrigued. It seemed to have so many different uses for a child, and it really didn’t disappoint.
Self-Inflating Ball
After a gift that will keep on giving? This self-inflating ball by Talkin Toys is the perfect idea.
Cassie is a very active little girl, and living in an apartment doesn’t help this situation. We are very lucky to have a nice big balcony out the front, along with some grass out the back. But more importantly, we have plenty of parks and ovals around us to get outside and keep her entertained.
Tips For Buying Shoes For Kids
Tips for buying shoes for kids.
My husband and I both have rather unique feet – I suffer from Eczema and no big toenails following an accident, my husband has hammer toes – I imagine from having a massive growth spurt at some point and not being in the correct shoes. I feel the only thing I can pass onto our son Reuben to hopefully counterbalance him getting the same issues, is to be in seasonally appropriate shoes so his feet can breathe to help with any skin issues, and to make sure he is regularly properly fitted for new shoes to ensure his foot and toe bones have plenty of space to grow and develop the way the should. Shoes and Sox are amazing -Reuben has really ticklish feet and was very anti getting fitted or not keeping the shoes he walked in on his feet, but the staff at Eastgardens store had it covered with balloons, bubbles, stickers and a dab hand at measuring on the fly!
