Echino car fabric from Kelani

I just received my order from the ever stylish kelani. I originally purchased it to make bunting for my website- but I love it so much, I'm thinking I may keep it for the boys room!

Growing Up Mummy!

I am a 31 year old women with 3 kids, Yet sometimes I question whether or not I am mentally stuck in my teens. Back then I was obsessed with Beverly Hills 90210 and New kids On The Block. Now ,more than 15 years later -my 'likes' have not yet matured.



My favourite show is MTV's The Hills. I am obsessed with Perez Hiltons celebrity Blog. One of my favourite movies is about a high school football team and I still to this day am harbouring a secret crush on Dawsons Creek's Pacey! I am totally gifted when it comes to knowing the names of every celebrity offspring,whether they be A B or C list ,but my knowledge of world figures [apart from who wore what at the oscars] is a little shady!



My idea of keeping up with current events is watching the latest episode of Jon and Kate plus 8 and when my girlfriend Ruth and I get together for coffee our conversations are centred around clothes, make up, calorie counting and which celebs are getting fat!!!



I have a theory about this though. I have been pregnant, breastfeeding and raising children since I was 24. Therefore once the whole 'nappy brain' thing kicked in,any chance of me progressing mentally-was stalled. My conversations were limited to discussions about which nappy brand I prefer, how long can a baby go without pooping before I'd consider them constipated. Not that I had very many adult conversations. I spent years saying the same thing over and over again-'Don"t put that in your mouth" 'No,we don't draw on walls', 'who put the whole damn roll of toilet paper in the toilet' 'please don't put mummys self-tanner in your hair','5am is too early to put your bob the builder dvd on'.



Perhaps I should set myself a little test! One whole week of watching nothing but Australian Story and National geographic.I will try to have educated conversations with friends about politics and religion. I will stop considering the opinions of Hamish and Andy to be 'gospel' and instead of reading my children books about 'Walter the farting dog', I will read them books about sustainable development.



Hmm this should be interesting, stay tuned.....................

I am in love with this "Camp Series" Fabric

I couldn't resist this purchase. I am a huge fan of quirky unique fabrics so as soon as I found it during one of my daily trawls of etsy, I just had to buy it. You will definitely see it on my website shortly just not sure whether to turn it into cushion covers or bunting! Would love to hear what you think.

My Fashion Bible

I have been a huge fan of this mag since its conception, long before my website was operational. I will read it front to back, back to front etc etc. The pages will be filled with dog ears and old issues become proud coffee table books.

Coming soon to the Just For Boys website

I am a huge fan of etsy and love nothing more than spending hours just looking at all the wonderful things made by very talented people. In fact I am blaming etsy for my sink full of dishes and laundry full of dirty washing [ If only procrastinating was an olympic event!!!}. Anyway, I came across these funky Rock'n Blocks and thought they would look great on my website and in any boys room. So keep an eye out over the coming weeks.

Where to start!

There are so many great products out there for little ones, that I thought it was about time I shared my faves with others. If you know of a great product or website please let us know and I will be sure to check it out . Hopefully you will enjoy reading my blog just as much as I love searching for the latest 'must haves' for kids.
