It’s was a pleasure to discover the family run webshop Little Lollipop Kids, with its wide range of clothing and accessories from designers across the globe for children 0 – 4 years old. They stock lots of cool and funky brands such as Smafolk and Snoozy.
Driven by the desire to find slightly different clothes for her own little boy, owner of Little Lollipop Kids, Sam Bowley, stated “I wanted bright colourful prints that Luke would enjoy wearing, in organic materials for comfort, in styles that would last. After a lot of research into brands, Little Lollipop Kids was born – organic clothes that stand out from the crowd, at affordable prices.”
I don’t think I’ve mentioned Snoozy before? Swedish Snoozy have been producing a range of top quality garments for children since 1993, and launched the label Snoozy in 2007. Picture to the left shows cute and funky long sleeved blouse from Snoozy. Pink with all over giraffe print and deep pink trim. Bow detail at the top. Well made, very funky yet feminine.
Available from Little Lollipop Kids.

Amélie will soon be turning 5 years old. As she early on has expressed a wish to celebrate her big day with all her best friends, her family, all her other friends, class mates and the rest of the world there has been a few discussions. But in the end we have managed to narrow the list down to a few friends and class mates.
With the guest list ready the birthday party planning can start. I was thinking of going for the easy (if there is such a thing in this matter) option with a rented hall and a professional entertainer that ensures that the children will be entertained from the beginning to the end. It works, and it is easy. All you have to do is to show up with party food and gift bags.
But at the same time it’s hard to let go of the childhood dream birthday party. With party games, hotdogs (yes, that’s party food for children in Norway), strawberry jelly and vanilla sauce for dessert. And the birthday cake! Homemade cream cake decorated with strawberries, blueberries and candles. The venue would be decorated with balloons and fresh flowers and Norwegian table flags.
While dreaming away I’m surfing the net for themed princess party decoration whilst deciding on Mr.Brilliant or Mr.Fantastic.

Todays catch from Sweden.
Shopping tips for launches and sale: Walk inside the store. Find the nearest shopping assistant, and ask for directions to desired items. Quickly scan through whats left. Move quickly to the fitting room, and see what’s left there. Then turn towards the till and ask if they have anything left there. Hold on to whatever you are unsure about until you are sure. If you leave anything behind it might be gone within the next second.
Yes, this is mad. But today I retrieved both the dress and a few items for myself as well from SR pour H&M following these simple steps. I read it online somewhere earlier today, and wanted to see if it worked. And after experiencing it I wanted to share it with you!

Sonia Rykiel’s knitwear collaboration with fast-fashion behemoth H&M has proved to be another success for H&M. Web shops in Scandinavia almost crashed at 10am today, when the sought after designer items were launched, and within the next hour all the children’s wear was gone.
I’ve had my eyes on the stripy set to the left, but there is probably not much hope left to retrieve it.
Thinking about it I’ve actually never been able to retrieve any of the design launches at H&M. I’m to lazy. Probably not eager enough.
Anyway. Hope you got what you wanted before it was all gone!

During half term the Scandinavian Mum, the Scandinavian Dad and their two Little Scandinavians are off on holiday. And the trip goes (of course!?) to Scandinavia!
We will be going to a lovely ski resort in Norway called Norefjell (North mountain). Norefjell with its more than 3.900 feet has a long history with tourism and down hill skiing, hosting the Winter Olympics in 1952. With continues development it’s today one of the most modern ski resorts in Norway.
The flight time from London to Oslo is about 2 hours. Then Norefjell is situated one hours car journey outside Oslo.
The resort we will be staying at has “ski in ski out”, great cross country slopes starting on your mountain lodge’s doorstep, there is an ice rink, there is SPA, outdoor jacuzzi and a gym for the adults and swimming pools for the children and there is a 52 feet tall indoor climbing wall. You can choose from several nice restaurants. The mountain lodge built only last year has all the facilities you would expect and is offering accommodation with a modern yet cozy interior with fire place etc. And what do you think the children are most excited about?
“Yeah! We get to sleep in a bunk bed!”

I think we just have to face it, the selection of clothing for boys is not as great as the selection for girls. It has become a lot better, but still we can get tired of cargo pants and stripy and printed tees. It’s hard to find boys clothing that really stands out.
The Scandinavian designers are really striving to do something with that, by using the highest quality fabrics (and of course organic cotton where possible and Fairtrade) with a lot of attention to details. They take pride in making clothes allowing children to be children. The clothes are fun and playful yet functional and comfortable, something active boys knows to appreciate.
Moose T long sleeve top from Mini A Ture is a good example of what cool, trendy tops should look like for boys. A cut out shape of a grey moose’s head on a vibrant blue background to the right of the tee, available from Nest. Oh! And did i mention it’s on sale for only £11? 
Pair it with jeans from MarMar Copenhagen (available from Nordic Kids), belt from Rebus and rough leather shoes from Bisgaard.
