Friday Adorbs: Chick Chack DIY kits
I am a strong supporter of DIY. I love making stuff and I firmly believe it is important for my kids to see the “behind the scene” of “stuff”. And there is two sides to that scenario too. One is to appreciate stuff more, because they will know the effort that went into making it. […]

My friend Dora teamed up with other two Budapest mums to create a toy that develops children’s emotional intelligence and helps even beyond that, because – it is a smart solution for conscious parents, – it is a source of income for women living in mothers’ shelters, – and it is friendly to our environment. […]

We love Boya crayons, that’s no secret, but I wanted to tell you WHY WE LOVE BOYA CRAYONS. I love them because they are pretty, they are soft (almost silky) to touch, they don’t smell and don’t make a mess out of either your kids hands or their drawings. Also important in summer, when […]

Playground season is on peeps. It’s been on since early spring, but now it is mud time, kids are going crazy, shoes are off, washing machines are getting clogged. Personally, I don’t mind my kids being dirty, I don’t even mind that those sand knee stain are impossible to wash out. If I’ve learned anything […]

Last week during my visit to Belgrade we took the kids to the newly opened Miksalište ice-skating rink. After some fun in 2-3 sizes bigger skates and what we were told is the best hot-chocolate in town I finally visited the famous Mikser house too. It is apparently an ever changing space, a restaurant/bar, design […]

Ah, that Advent! Do you make calendars yourself? Load them with little gifts? I don’t, to be honest. I do try to mark the occasion, explain what the whole thing is about actually, but I don’t feel they need another reason to get gifts.
