SHOP VISIT | Mr. Wolf Kids

It is not often I have time to visit stores these days, especially not wonderful little stores that are filled to the brim with amazing little gems that you seem to need to pick up and admire from a close range. Most of my shopping these days happens online, but every now and then I get to visit a brick and mortar shop and then the enjoyment knows no limits. The other week we were fortunate enough to be in the neighborhood of Mr. Wolf Kids - A shop that seem to have stocked everything your curious young heart can desire! Toys, clothes, shoes all arranged in the most lovely way.

It is easy to loose track of time as you look through the shelves and explore their great selection of wonderful labels sourced from all over the world. Soft pillows and toys from Luckyboy Sunday (Denmark) Gorgeous clothes with fun prints from Bobo Choses (Spain) Magical garlands from Numero 74 (France) Creative wooden toys from Miller Goodman (England) and the list goes on.

Owned by the lovely Eve Adamidis, who has such a great eye for picking up the creme de la creme of all things coming from the small universe. Every corner is filled with little gems and it is hard not to want everything in this store. I had my kids with me and I soon found out it was impossible to leave without picking something up. We had filled our Easter holiday with great experiences in nature but hadn't had much time for any creative indoor time, so we found some great crafty super clay from Tiny Tribe that was the perfect item to bring home for two creative thirsty kids. 

We can really recommend a store visit to Mr. Wolf Kids but make sure you have at least 30 min to spare because you will need it going through this treasure trove of goodies. As you step through the doors you instantly feel the years falling off your shoulders and you become a kid again. It is not hard to see why it is such a popular shop for both parents and kids!

Let's Make | Halloween DIY

Not too long to go until Oct 31st and Halloween. This is one holiday I like to celebrate with the kids and since our neighbourhood has quite a few American expats homes there is always a huge crowd of trick or treaters on Halloween evening. We try and do a few fun Halloween activities on the days leading up to Halloween so I have collected a few that we like from the excellent DIY website Mr. Printables. They all have different difficult levels so there are something for every age. Most activities have downloadable templates where you can choose to either colour in or print an already coloured version. Have fun & scary time out there!!
