I discovered Melbourne label Acorn Kids last Winter when I was on the hunt for a beanie for Ash.  Acorn have such had such a gorgeous range of beanies, mittens and knitwear all made from merino wool.  See Ash in the Little Devil beanie HERE, Mr Fox beanie HERE, Cable Knit beanie HERE and  Block Party vest and mittens HERE.

Now Acorn Kids have launched their Summer hats range for little people and this tiny trucker cap is my favourite pick of the bunch.  Ash's to- this is the only hat he'll put on his head!!  These pics were taken outside the Melbourne Museum which visited on a drizzly cool Melbourne Spring day.   Well worth a visit, there was heaps for us to look at and lots of interesting spaces to explore.

Merino Baby

 

 

 Single layer sleeping bag- thanks to Merino Baby

This is part two of my blog posts for Merino Baby starring my little guy Ash.  Love that little sleepy face!

Today I'm sharing with you this fantastic sleeping bag.  Since Ash was six months he has been in a sleeping bag for all sleep times- it's such a fantastic sleep signal for him.  I've stuck with Bonds summer and winter versions to date because they are cheap and easy, plus I got so bamboozled by all the options available online.  Well now I've discovered Merino Baby's sleeping bags I can highly recommend them.  The biggest draw card for me is that they are made of a natural fibre, 100% super fine Australian merino wool in fact.  The fabric beautifully soft and machine washable, an absolute must!  I've put this sleeping bag through the wash a couple of times now following, um ah, overnight poop explosions (TMI- sorry) and it's come up good as new.

Design wise I'm impressed, the zip opens both up and down, making it easy for stealthy night time nappy changes; the arm holes have an extra stud so you can make them tighter around the arms if need be; and there is plenty of length.  Ash is 19 months and has plenty of space left in the 12-24 month size.  Another plus for me it that Ash has figured out how to get out of his Bonds sleeping bag, which he tends to do if he is a bit restless.  He stands up and pulls down on each side until he pops the studs open then climbs on out, he is then pretty unlikely to fall asleep until he's back in the bag.  But with this design there are two arm holes, and the zipper up the front.  I zip it from top down and he's nice and secure in the bag.

There are seven colour/print options and a padded version is also available.

This kid! I know I'm a bit byast but HOW gorgeous is he!! Ash is 19 months now and as you can see growing up so so quick.

Now of course too his little outfits, both the navy hoodie and the striped cardigan Ash is wearing are by Merino Baby, a new range of products designed in Australia using 100% Australian Merino Wool, and I think they are absolutely lovely.  I was so impressed by the pieces when they arrived, being made of ultra-fine wool so there is no itchy, scratchy feeling and they are a fantastic fit.  Size wise Ash is 11kg and wearing the size 2.  You should see the little dresses too, oh my!! Talk about cute.

Being 100% wool there are so many extra benefits including temperature regulation, breathability,
anti-static, shape retention, odour resistance, a naturally safe fabric and perhaps most importantly for us mums, machine washable!!

Today I've got my gorgeous little poppet, 18 month old Ash, making a guest appearance.  His outfit here is all from the Jeanswest Kids range.  The well made, durable, and very reasonably priced the collection is well worth a look.   I picked these up from the new Jeanswest flagship store at Highpoint Shopping Centre along with a few pieces for myself- see here.  If you are interested in sizes, Ash is wearing size 1 shorts, size 2 tee and size 3 shirt.  I got the bigger sizes on top so they will last him a bit longer, but bigger pants just fall down! Oh and the hair clip, we get a few questions about it.  I can't bear to cut his pretty locks so it keeps the hair out of his face  Simple as that :)

I took these pics last Sunday at the National Gallery of Victoria Hyper-Natural exhibition.  Fellow Melbournians, do yourselves a favour and check it out.  This post isn't sponsored but Ash and I had the best time so I had to share!! The weather was glorious, plus we were first through the doors in the morning so virtually had the gardens to ourselves.  The mist you see in the photos if beautifully perfumed and you can learn all about scent molecules! It really is pretty amazing, plus the gardens themselves are quite beautiful and a lovely place to relax and enjoy the view... and smell.

Look at my little dude! There is something about this outfit that is just so cool, I can't think of any other way to describe it.  These funky little pants have plenty of length so they will last Ash for ages, but the tight ankle means he isn't tripping over them for now.  The cut of the tee is perfect and the artwork on the front so original.

When I received these pieces in the post I wrote to Doodlebug and said that I couldn't believe how soft the cotton was, and I mean buttery soft!  Well good to see I am paying attention, because they are actually made of BAMBOO!!  Along with that comes a whole range of benefits with bamboo fabric being ethical, ecological and hypo allergenic. It's a natural breathable fiber that is naturally organic, yet can be machine washed and quick dried on the washing line.

These sneakers are pretty darn adorable too, shop the look below...

Another adorable merino wool knit beanie by Acorn Kids!  I actually took these pics of Ash a couple of months ago, I can't believe how the time has flown and how much older he looks in only 2 months.
