Daycare Days

January 7, 2013 in Children

Happy 2013 everyone!! I hope you all had a fabulous festive season and a happy start to the new year.

What a year 2012 was and what a year 2013 is already turning out to be! Just quietly (I don’t want to jinx it!) but I think it’s going to be a good one.

Each new year brings a round things to do such as getting organised for the year (more on that from Sonia tomorrow), making (and breaking!) resolutions and preparing children to go back to daycare or school.

My 3 year old will be starting his new daycare in a few weeks and I’m so nervous! Last year he went two days per week to a centre in Brisbane which we absolutely loved and I guess I’m just feeling a little unsure of the new centre (but I’m sure that will change once he actually starts).

To kick off the first Shop Me Chic post of the year, I’m sharing a few of my daycare essentials…

1. JamBerry Fitted Sheet Set from Lime Tree Kids ($59.95) // 2. BobbleArt Canvas Traffic Back Pack from Mini Chatterbox ($34.95) // 3. Personalised Round Name Labels from TinyMe ($19.95 for 42 labels) // 4. Ben Whales Hat from Oobi ($24.95) // Small Bobble Kids Bottle from Your Home Depot ($9.95)

Are you busy getting ready for the return of the school year? How’s 2013 treating you so far?

Stay Chic,

Melinda xx

Christmas Gifts for Toddlers

December 3, 2012 in Children

We have been busy little bees compiling all kinds of gift idea posts for you: Secret Santa gifts, baby’s first Christmas gifts, Gifts for Men and pampering gifts for your beauty loving loved ones.

I actually love gift shopping and spend hours of researching before I make my final decisions.

Today we continue our gift guides with gifts for toddlers. All of these gifts are suitable for little boys or girls between the ages 1 – 3.

I’m particularly loving the Hess Rainbow Stacker from Little Boo-Teek. It is smaller than I expected and folds into a ring shape making it easy to throw in my bag and take when traveling. Essential for the Christmas season!

1. One Fish, Two Fish by Dr Seuss from The Book Depository ($8.17)

A Dr Seuss classic that was one of my favourite as a child (and if I am honest, it’s still one of my favourites!)

2. Hess Rainbow Stacking Toy from Little Boo-Teek ($29.95)

Like I said, this is such a great little toy to travel with. Plus stacking things like this are great to teach toddlers counting skills and colours.

3. Kids Craft Turntable from Peter’s Of Kensington ($23.00)

This will be under our Christmas Tree this year as part of my plan to tidy up our craft box. It also comes in red and pink and so far, Peter’s of Kensington stock this at the best price.

4. Melissa and Doug Stacking Train from Amazon ($13.50)

I’m not sure if I have mentioned this before but I love Melissa and Doug. I can’t wait to see my toddlers face as he unwraps his stacking train on Christmas morning!

5. Mocka Cowboys Tee Pee from Lime Tree Kids ($99.95)

I’ve become a bit Tee Pee obsessed. They are just so cute! I have finally narrowed it down to this one (I think), however if you have a little girl you may like to check out the pink ones!

What will be under the Christmas tree for your toddler this year? Is it just me or are toddlers so much fun to buy for?

Stay Chic,

Melinda xx

Baby’s First Christmas

November 26, 2012 in Children

We have been going absolutely crazy for Christmas. Christmas party dresses, Christmas decor for you child’s room and even some Secret Santa gift ideas all under $20.

I find the excitement of Christmas absolutely contagious. There is something so thrilling about the lead up – choosing gifts for your loved ones, listening to Christmas carols as you do the grocery shopping (I seriously love this!), baking Christmas cookies… just call me Mrs Claus until the New Year starts!

Celebrating your baby’s first Christmas is one of those big exciting milestones that usually rolls around a little too fast. With my first, I managed to maintain a balance of some fun and some practical presents. However, with my second I did go a little over board with clothes and toys, most of all (besides our beloved Sophie the Giraffe) aren’t used anymore.

Today’s gift ideas are a mixture of practical, sentimental and fun and perfect to help your baby unwrap on their very first Christmas day.

1. Wooden Money Box from Bambini Pronto ($11.99) // 2. EverEarth Name Train from Urban Baby (from $5.95) // 3. Mocka Rocking Horse from Lime Tree Kids ($49.00) // 4. Sophie The Giraffe from Toys R Us ($25.99 on sale) // 5. Baby’s First Christmas Nursery Art from Etsy ($29.45)

Do you have any ‘go to’ gifts for the all important First Christmas? Will Santa be dropping off any of these gifts to your house this year?

Stay Chic,

Melinda xx

Chic Up Your Kids Room: Christmas

November 22, 2012 in Children

Christmas fever has officially arrived at Shop Me Chic!

If you follow us on Pinterest, you will have seen our growing Christmas Chic board full of Christmas recipes, wrapping ideas and decorations.

Today, we are adding a bit of Christmas cheer to your very own little elf’s room!

Since becoming a mum, my excitement for Christmas has grown.

We do it all – getting the photo with Santa, decorate the tree, blast Christmas carols (the Michael Buble and She & Him kind!) and of course on Christmas Eve, we leave out carrots for the reindeer and a Corona for Santa!

This year, we won’t be home for Christmas Day but I am still looking forward to spreading some green and red decor throughout the boys room so that they can enjoy the Christmas season for as long as possible!

1. Holiday House Rules from Etsy ($17.78)

I’m excited to welcome these rules into our house this year. I love that they reinforce the most important things about the Christmas spirit – like the best gift of all, is love.

2. Noel Christmas Bunting from Shabby Sisters ($18.00)

Every house needs a little bit of holiday inspired bunting! Even if you are a little more Grinch than Mrs Claus, this is still festive without a lot of fuss.

3. The Elf On The Shelf ($29.95)

This will be our first Christmas with an Elf in our family and despite my fiance making fun of my excitement, I am looking forward to starting a new tradition with the boys (in particular, reminding my head strong three year old that Santa’s elf is always watching!). If you’re not familiar with Elf On The Shelf, you can check it out here.

4. Christmas Reindeer Pillow from Etsy ($20.74)

Apart from it’s darling appearance, this pillow is the perfect way to teach your little Christmas enthusiast the names of all of reindeers!

5.  Personalised Santa Sack from Stuck On You ($49.95)

A Santa Sack makes the perfect Christmas decoration throughout December and a beautiful place for Santa to place presents to be opened on Christmas morning. At the moment, I’m torn between ordering these ones for the boys (did you notice I snuck in one for Addison…?!) or these My Munchkin ones from Lime Tree Kids.

What are your Christmas traditions? Do you decorate your house from top to toe for the holidays?

Stay Chic,

Melinda xx

*Elf On A Shelf was gifted to me in accordance with our disclosure policy.
