Monster Slippers

His little toes will be snug this winter in these cute little Monster Slippers! I will admit it is not a store I regularly visit, but a friend of mine had the cutest cupcake slippers for her daughter that she got from PEP...

For only R49.99 they were an absolute bargain and my little bubs just loves them. PEP Stores have a great selection of slippers for girls and boys and at this price you can’t go wrong... 

They also have adorable winter pj's for girls and boys. I bought two pairs that are just perfect for a chilly night - especially when my little guy has a habit of always kicking off his blankets.

Little ones grow so quickly and, knowing that they will only wear an item for a single season, makes the pricing at PEP Stores all the more reasonable.

 

Puré in a pouch

As schedules become more chaotic, it can be challenging to find the time to prepare meals from scratch for your little one. So many snacks for children are overloaded with added salts, sugars and preservatives. The Puré Squish range is offers a healthy and easy alternative! It has no preservatives, colourants or flavourants. Squish & Go is a 100% fruit snack in a pouch. Squish Baby is a 100% fruit and veggie puree in a pouch for babies 6 months and up. Squish Breakfast is a delicious breakfast on-the-go in a pouch. So that should cover the whole family!

The range is packaged in 125g pouches that have a 15 month shelf life, with a BPA-free spout that is re-sealable. My little man enjoys them so much that we never have to make use of this lid though!

I love the size too. I always carry one in my mommy bag as a back up and believe me, it has saved me in a queue more than once! I think my little guy enjoys the independence of feeding himself and only passes it to me so that I can help him squeeze out every last drop!

They offer an incredible range of products . Firm favourites are the Apple & Guava, Banana, Prune & Apple, and Beetroot, Apple & Pear.

 

They are available at most supermarkets like Pick n Pay and Spar, as well as Clicks and Baby City.

Whats' your little ones favourite flavour?


 

Baby Don't Cry

Most babies don’t need a special baby shampoo. Generally, you can get away with using a shampoo and body wash combination product. Once they become toddlers, though, it can be a whole different story, especially if they’ve got a lot of hair.

I found the baby shampoo I had been using for my little guy was leaving his hair looking greasy. I was hesitant to use a shampoo that I would use as he is still little and if it got into his eyes...well...there would be tears!

The Paul Mitchell Baby Don't Cry Shampoo is specially formulated for children of all ages. Its special formula is designed with a baby's skin and scalp in mind.  (As an added bonus it's also extremely effective for adults with baby-fine hair.) It has a gentle, fresh fragrance that I love. It's wonderful for everyday use and also makes a fun bubble bath!

It's not tested on animals, is paraben free, gluten free and vegan. Sound like a win? I bought mine online from Retail Box but it is also available from select salons, and retails for R250 for 300ml bottle.
