Simply beautiful Baby Moks shoes by Etsy's
Scandeez will sheath baby's feet in protective softness, never detracting from that chic little outfit you spent hours scanning the net for.
Featuring gorgeous handmade detail on the soles such as ladybirds, cherries, paws and pastel spots, the shoes will enhance baby's
clothing while protecting little feet from the elements. There are even Baby Moks especially made for christenings.
Look at the delicious tuck on the top, which is elasticised to stop the
shoe coming off. And the fine, perfect line of the high sides look
so softly-tailored as they're made from lambskin.
The idea that mainly the soles of the shoes will be visible - as baby sits on laps and is popped on the floor to lie or sit - shows that some real thought has gone into Baby Moks. Now baby can have shoes that are pretty on top, and are just as much so on the soles!
From Scandeez for US$27-$29 a pair, plus shipping.
Going to a zoo with kids can be a great outing for the school holidays. Being able to see animals up close is a real treat for little ones and it's a terrific blend of fun and education.
It can also be a stressful, exhausting disaster. Dragging tired kids around in the sun, walking in circles to find an animal that is hiding under a distant log is not the way to make a memorable outing.
After several attempts, we have finally managed to devise our perfect Taronga Zoo outing. And, with a lot of people traveling to Sydney over the school holidays, we thought we'd share it with you. If you have similar tips for an attraction in your city or neighbourhood, we'd love to hear them.
Bring food. Let's face it, zoo food is terrible. Plus, it's hard to convince a tired and hungry child to wait in line with a hundred other parents and their kids. If you're driving to Taronga, grab some freshly-made sandwiches at Swerve Cafe & Espresso Bar in Mosman.
Arrive early. We always get to the zoo when it opens at 9am. The parking is easier, everyone is less stressed (us included), it's cool, and the animals are more alert.
Follow our map! Head downhill, stopping at the water play area and the seal show. You won't see everything, but it goes past some great enclosures and shows off a diverse range of animals
Be lazy and finish at the cable car. Unless you're dying to walk back uphill in the middle of summer, the cable car is your friend. If it's not too busy, the attendants will let you loop around a few times. You can take prams on it as well (even our double fits).
Don't try to see too much. The zoo is big, If you live in Sydney, or are going to be visiting more than once, buy a zoo pass and then there's no pressure. You can pop in whenever you want.
We've made some updates to the way our RSS feed works to make it more robust and fix a couple of problems. There was an issue where articles were getting published via RSS before they appeared on the site, which meant trying to click on a link in the feed would result in an error. This is now fixed. We hope you enjoy.
If you don't know what RSS is and would like to know more, Wikipedia has a good overview.
