Schnooky Pie - Glow in the Dark

We recently received a gorgeous onesie from local baby clothing boutique, Schnooky Pie, for review. Now this is not just any onesie…

...it's a glow in the dark onesie!

Schnooky Pie is a Durban based, proudly South African company. Jaclyn Holmes is the heart behind the business, which she started in 2014 after she welcomed her own little Shnookypie, Mia, into the world.

Her prints and onesie designs are truly unique. The fronts all have fun, locally inspired designs with a charming patterned back. Ours boasts the glow in the dark Springbok design, and is such a delightful surprise when you turn out the lights! Cuteness overload!

Their originality goes further in that they all have poppers down the back instead of the front. This feature allows for a large print design on the front and easy on/off for your bubs. My little man hates anything tight going over his head so by loosening a few poppers at the back I can just slip it over, no fuss…now that is a priceless feature! Alternatively, for the real littlies, you can undo all the poppers, slip it over your bubs arms, roll them over and do them up.

The quality is great and the poppers and sleeves are nicely padded for comfort. I did find the size a little small but they do have a sizing chart to help you find just the right fit.

Their online store stocks a superb selection of onesies as well as birthday outfits and newborn props. They also offer gift cards which would be a great gift choice for any mama-to-be.

Tub-time fun!

Tub-time in our house is fun time! It means lots of toys, lots of splashes, but best of all, lots of giggles. These are some of our favourite bath time essentials...

1. Oball Store and Explore - Tubby Scoop Friends
   This fun bath set will provide hours of fun. The cute whale stores the starfish, turtle and octopus toys. The whale has holes in its base and your bubs will have great fun filling and refilling to watch the shower. I bought ours from Baby City.
   
2. Playgro Duckie
   This traditional little bath toy is still a major hit with my little man. It is great for him to hold and squeeze...and chew on, of course! I bought ours at Clicks.
   
3. Kneepal
   Do your knees a favour! The Kneepal has been ergonomically designed to support your back and comfort your knees. It is also great for gardening or DIY and would make a great gift. We got ours from a local store called Bump & Beyond.
   
4. ClevaMama Bath Mat
   This extra long mat has suction cups to hold it firmly in place. It is nicely cushioned and adds a little bit of security if you have a wriggler like mine! It also comes with a knee cushion which is always handy. I bought ours from Baby City.
   
5. Munchkin Sea Squirts
   This pack of 5 bright and colourful characters definitely make bathtime fun. They are easy for your little one to grasp and are available online at Baby Group.

What are your little ones favourite bathtime toys?

Autumn at Ackermans

Sorting through my son's wardrobe made me realise just how many of his clothes are "expiring" soon! This little guy is growing so beautifully and I guess a part of me was in denial that he is now more of a little boy than a baby. All those clothes that seemed "so big" are being worn now and we are ready to get into the 12 -18 month category.

On the plus side, it gave us an excuse to do a little shopping...and we always have fun! We were quite lucky at the Woolworths sale with some PJ's, shoes and tees, and also at Ackermans. Their Autumn and Winter outfits for boys are really great and come at a decent price tag without scrimping on the quality. The items above ranged from R49.99 to R129.99. My little guy even picked the jersey himself (ie: he grabbed it over the side of the trolley and wasn't letting go!)

It feels a bit crazy buying warm wear on a 37º day, but around here the weather can be unpredictable and the cold weather may be just around the corner. At least my little man will be snug and stylish when the cold does arrive.
