Tired

Today I feel very exhausted and can't wait to get some time off. We are soon leaving for Sweden  to celebrate Christmas with Jonas' family. It will be nice to not think about work for a while and spend all my days with Billie.

Today, I would actually spend my day in bed with Jonas and Billie, hiding under the cover, drinking warm hot chocolate and watching movies.

Do you have days like this were you just feel lazy and being cosy at home?

Scandinavian sheep skin

Billie's first gift from her Farmor (paternal grand-mother in swedish) was a sheep skin. Scandinavian sheeps are grey and have the softest curls. 

Billie grew up sleeping on this sheep skin. She had it when she was coming to work with me, sleeping on the floor on it. She still sleeps on it every night in her crib. It's also the best to keep her warm in the stroller. The sheep skin is perfect because it keeps the baby cool when its very hot outside but also keeps her warm on winter days. It also looks so nice everywhere we put it in the house. It's a tradition in Jonas' family. They all grew up sleeping on one of these. I wish one day Billie will put her baby to sleep on this same sheep skin she got from her Farmor. 

This H&M dress

I shop like everyone else out there at H&M, Gap and Zara. Actually, most of Billie's clothes come from these shops. The prices are goods and to be honest, they know what they are doing fashion wise. Zara offers quality, classic styles and fun colors. Gap always have the coolest black and white items or fun accessories. H&M offers the best prices and very fun cuts and fits. Like this perfect stripes dress I found this last summer. 

I first bought a 1 1/2-2 years old and went back to buy the 2-4years old size. So we have it in double! It just fits Billie perfectly plus as she grows, it makes a fun top. It was cheap and I washed them a few times now and they still looks perfect. I love when I score good fashion items for Billie at decent prices. This one is one of them!

Ipad

Hi! My name is Billie and I'm addicted to my Ipad.

Yes. It's true. Billie is only 17 months and we have to hide the Ipad when we are at home because that's the only thing she play with otherwise. It's a sad reality.

It all started last July. Billie was sick everytime we were driving in the car. I got the tip to make her focus on something, like a video. So we decided to get an Ipad. It worked like magic! She hasn't been sick since, unless we don't use the Ipad. But then, she loved it so much that she started playing with it at home and getting so good to go get her own application. She is so confortable on it, it looks like she was born with it! The problem is that she could be playing on it for hours! It's incredible! So we have to manage the time she spent on the Ipad and hide it when we want her to play with her real toys. She even say "Ipad" when she get hurt and cries! Maybe we spoiled her too much. Who knows? But now we deal with this perfectly. She is never or almost never on the Ipad at home. She can only use it in the car. Otherwise, when we go to the restaurant, she is allowed to have it and sometimes on weekend we let her play with our Iphone or Ipad.

Do you have the same problem with your Ipad or Iphone?

Favorite website- THE GLOW

These days, I'm all about THE GLOW. This beautiful website is just so inspiring for me who is a mom that love interior design, architecture, fashion, toys and kids! THE GLOW was co-founded in January 2011 by Violet Gaynor who does the editing and the photograph Kelly Stuart.

It's a very simple blog/website. The background is white with a black font. I have something for simplicity especially when the focus is on photos. It's easier to keep your eyes on the beautiful images you are looking at.

They recently did a photoshoot with Christiane Lemieux, founder and creative director of DWELLSTUDIO. I'm in total love with her house! It's Jonas and I style for sure.

But I think one of my favorite photoshoot is with Ramya Giangola, founder of GOGOLUXE and her daughter Chiara. It's very genuine and fell for the dress that Ramya is wearing and Chiara's bedroom. It's all just so dreamy! 

Which photoshoot is your favorite?

Wishlist- Bobo Choses dress and tights

I recently discover POPPY'S CLOSET while searching for this amazing dress and tights from BOBO CHOSES. I'm so happy they carry BOBO CHOSES and they have the best selection of other brands Billie and I like. Plus, they are shipping from the USA so it's a bit cheaper for us canadians.

So this dress and tights are on Billie's wishlist. She sadly doesn't need anything at the moment. Should I get it anyway? It would be a perfect dress for day care! 

NEW IN- Wheely Bug Cow

I know, it's not Christmas yet but I couldnt resist this little Wheely Cow. It's so cute and fun!

It comes in two differents sizes. I sadly found this out after we got ours.

The SMALL size is made for the 18 months and older and the LARGE one is for the 36 months and older. I bought the large one by mistake but decided to keep it. Billie is growing so fast and thought she would enjoy it for a longer period of time. I have to say, she doesn't play with it so much right now as it's too big for her but she still push it around the house. I love the wood detail on it and the very simple design. Fits our home decoration but it's still a fun toy for our Billie. The Wheely Bug is offer as a cow, lady bug, mouse, tiger and few mores. A nice Christmas gift no?
