Victoria & Albert Museum – London
Entrance to the museum with impressive sculpture installation overhead Although not as close to our three-year old’s heart as the V&A’s Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green (currently her favourite museum in London), our daughter does enjoy a trip to the V&A in particular tearing around the John Madejski Garden, digging into the children’s Activity…

Field Candy Tents
I can’t believe that someone did not think of this sooner. Since neolithic times, tents have always been of boring colors and exuded some sort of sense of austere unfunness. Well no more. FieldCandy tents do not help you with camouflage nor do they help you blend in at the campsite. They are screaming for attention. Through…

Garden of Cosmic Speculation, Scotland
Being in this garden would be like falling down Alice’s rabbit hole and coming out in Wonderland! The Garden of Cosmic Speculation in Scotland is one of the most amazing gardens I’ve ever seen. Imagine exploring this magical place with your kids. The private garden, which sprawls over 30 acres at Portrack House near Dumfries, Scotland,…

Kids Republic Bookstore – Beijing
I am floored by Kid’s Republic, the magical bookstore in Beijing with its explosion of color and design.

Vapur Collapsible Drink Bottle
I just became of aware of these innovative Vapur drink bottles which can be rolled, folded or flattened when empty – and easily tucked away! We use reusable bottles but somehow, once they are empty, I just hate carrying them around. It’s not rigid so can fit easily into most places and is also reusable, attachable,…

Tubohotel – Mexico
If you always wanted to sleep in a concrete drainage pipe, now is your chance. It’s funny that I never thought of that before… Tubohotel is a collection of rooms (that look like installation art) inside sections of recycled pipes. But seriously, this place is calling me. These windowed cocoons are planted in an…

En Ljummen i Gräset Music Festival – Stockholm
Being a music loving, young (yes, if 40 is the new 20 then 31 is definitely the new 11) and outgoing person stuck in a confused mama body, it is with sadness I’ve noticed I can’t go out to gigs anymore. Turns out, dark clubs and late nights don’t do well with breastfeeding duty. That is why…
