Zain, Joakim & Tas on the big wheel!!!















On Saturday we took Zain on the Singapore Flyer! I think he enjoyed it most because his ADD aunt got bored half way through. I was just amusing myself with Zain most of the time and also trying to make him eat his rice instead of biscuits. Zain also got a little photography lesson from Joakim! hehe...We then went to the airport (another of Zains favourite place) to watch the planes......thank you our little Zain for making our day... :)

White Childs Room



It's hard for a childs room not to look tacky and cluttered with all their colourful toys and books everywhere. Like in this home, seen in skona hem, i think its great how they have a white room to balance it all out!

Infoband for kids



How great is this! Specially in Singapore with crazy crowded malls and streets.

Infoband™ is the cool and unique identification wrist-band for children. The smart band has become a success and the product today helps children and parents all over the world.

The product is easy to use. Write with a regular ball point-pen and the text gets water resistant. The smart buckle makes infoband™ reusable, and also practically impossible for small children to open as it needs a two-hand grip to be opened

What beautiful subjects. I would love for my cafe to have the same feel as these interior photos. Anne Nauman is a photographer from Germany, Hamburg. Click here to view her website!

A home by the sea









What a perfect home. I've always dreamt of a house by the sea! This is the home of Tomas Tjajkovski and Annette Heikfolk. I love the open airy rooms, i can just imagine going to sleep with the sound of the waves lapping against the shore, and the smell of the the sea....ahhhh....

Market Sling - Serene & Lily





I love love love the book by Serene & Lily on Nursery decor! And now i've just found that they have an online store as well!! Full of gorgeous bedding's, gifts, furnishings and accessories....wow i'm overwhelmed!!

I love this Market Sling that they sell, one seamless piece of fabric without buckles, belts or straps—is snug, sleek and easy to wear. The inside lining, made from super-soft brushed 100% organic jersey cotton, is gentle against baby’s delicate skin. Not only are they beautiful, but practical too: just toss in the washing machine and they get better looking with every wash.

US$109 - Phew!

Baby Grobal Self-Watering Plant Pot





I'm always over-watering or under-watering my poor plants so this would be perfect solution!
I just wish they didn't look so plastic, maybe a matt plastic would look better?

Baby Grobal!! With its unique watering system, and stylish design by Karim Rashid (swoon!), this mini-sized Grobal keeps your house plants lush, green, and looking sharp. Grobal draws water and nutrients from the reservoir into the Grobal Soil"; in the top chamber. Just check the water level through the water level indicator and refill when needed through the Nutriport".

US$13.50
