UGG boots

There's nothing better than putting your feet in warm, soft UGG boots on a cold day. The houses here in Australia are badly insulated and there's no central heating so during the winter Uggies are a must!

Kira has a purple lambs wool pair- they cost and arm and a leg to buy but they are worth it!

Burger Boy

Ok so last post of today! I must recommend Burger Boy to all parents that have children who are fussy eaters, well all parents can really do with a copy of Burger Boy in the book shelf.

Benny eats only bad food and finally turns into a hamburger....he's chased all over town by dogs, cows and big boys until he's mum rescues him, feed him vegetables and turn him back into a boy. There's also a surprise ending!

It's hilarious, both Kira and I loved it!

Next

Another tip! http://www.nextdirect.com/

Next is a UK clothes chain with clothes for the whole family and finally they are shipping to Australia (they ship to everywhere in the world pretty much) and postage is free at the moment and always cheap.
I love their tall range for me, who's 6 foot and I love their kids clothes, not to talk about their shoes, they are so cute and really affordable.
The only slight downside is that delivery takes a little while, usually 7-10 working days but it's worth the wait- promise

How gorgeous is this shirt for a little boy!

Etsy

I just recently discovered Etsy! It's an American website where people list their creations, you can find almost anything there and with the US dollar being as it is, prices are great!
A lot of the listings only display shipping prices to North America but I always ask if they would ship to Australia and it's never been a problem.
Get your credit card ready and go to http://www.etsy.com/ You can pay by paypal or credit card.
My last purchases where these gorgeous outfits for the girls for summer. They are from a seller called LylaClaireClothing. Aren't they gorgeous?!

The Alphabet Tree

The Alphabet Tree is one of my favourite web based stores. They do gorgeous personalized tops and the most beautiful wall stickers, all at reasonable prices. The princess is wearing her favourite K shirt on the picture below.

Sometimes when you buy personalized clothing you get a gorgeous print on an average quality t-shirt, not at Alphabet Tree, the shirts are great quality and the prints looks like new even after several washes.

I have bought several items and always been very pleased with the service provided.
