Dressing Kids For Fall

Welcome to the changeable autumn weather! It's chilly in the morning and hot by noon. It's difficult to dress your little ones for such constantly changing weather. I find BabyLegs come in really handy at this time of year. They are great to slip on legs under a short skirt and yes, even arms, if you suddenly need some sleeves on that t-shirt. When the weather warms up in a few hours they simply roll off.

BabyLegs come in a tonne of fabulous patterns and colours, in organic cotton and regular cotton. Check out our selection here and the organic styles here.

Not Playing Fair

Interesting article in Time Magazine exposes a lawsuit in the United States alleging that Babies R Us pressured baby product manufacturers into dropping online retailers because the online retailers were cutting into their business. Bullying isn't okay between children and I don't feel it's appropriate behavior in the business world either. Read the full article here.
