We all want our homes to be a safe place for our children as well as a place where they can learn self-sufficiency. There are many crucial life skills taught in the kitchen alongside the many laughs and interactions with family and friends which take place there over the years.
One of the most difficult things for parents of young infants is knowing when their baby is too hot. Too often we’re told to throw on an extra blanket, or to put on a hat or socks, but we really have no way of knowing just how warm our baby really is – short of … [Read more.]

A few weeks ago we looked at the Puj Tub on Babyology. This flexible soft tub from Puj
is designed to fit in any standard sink (no more back-breaking leaning
over the side of the bathtub). It stores flat but when in use wraps
around your little one, cradling the baby and preventing any nasty head

The
Flux
sure beats those ugly door stoppers we’re used to buying from the supermarket. Inject a little imagination into an ordinary object and it’ll be a sure-fire winner among us design-conscious parents.
