About Babywearing & Babypreferred.com Teething Drool Pads & Bib

Hello mammas!

In this post I'd like to talk to you about babywearing and present you on-line store for baby carrier's accessories, such as teething drool pads & bib, sun shades etc.

I opted for ergobaby adapt carrier and was super pleased with it so far! I purchased it when my baby was about 2 months old (at the time, he didn't like to be pushed in a stroller and he only liked to be carried close to my chest!).
The adapt model was right for us, as it adapts to the baby's stages of growth, so you can even use it for newborn babies, without having to buy the extra insert.

I did lots of walks carrying my son in a carrier, and it was especially helpful when we went on walks at the beach.

I purchased the carrier through the ergobaby website for the price of € 139.90 and yes, it's quite expensive, but it's worth the money. This carrier is excellent quality, possibly the best there is on the market, and most importantly it's ergonomic and safe for your child's hip development.
The model I opted for is azure blue.

I made these two videos, in case you'd like to hear more about my experience with babywearing!

Fall Fashion (OOTD)

Hi guys!

I think it's time for one fall inspired OOTD post.

I spent most of October in Croatia, in my hometown Rijeka. The weather was sunny and warm and it was just perfect for taking long walks by the sea or the town's centre.

Here is what I wore one Sunday, when my hubby, our little son and my Mum, went to Alfa Romeo car meeting, that took place at the centre of Rijeka.

We had a lot of fun, and we stayed out and about for more than 5 hours!

I wanted to wear something comfy, but trendy, so I opted for this Leopard print coat, leather boots and a backpack (Mom friendly style!)

I wore my new floral print sweater that I was sent to by Light in the Box on line store to review. I loved it on top of my denim shirt and paired with Leopard print coat.

I always liked the combo of leopard and floral print, I think it's a good match.

My skinny jeans are actually from H&M maternity line, but I still like to wear them because they're super skinny and "body shaping" model, so they're more flattering than other jeans that I have.

Luckily, during my pregnancy, the elastic waistband didn't stretch out, so I can keep wearing them! (probably because I bought more than one pair of maternity jeans, plus, the last two months of my pregnancy, I avoided wearing jeans...I needed something way more comfy!)

I think this is a perfect fall outfit for those warm & sunny days and long walks.

How do you like it?

OOTD DETAILS:

Leopard print coat: Oviesse (but from a thrift store, brand new!)

Floral embroidery sweater: Light in The Box (here)

Skinny jeans - H&M body shaping model, from maternity section

Boots - Zara

Backpack - Bershka

Sunglasses - Mango

Denim shirt - Stradivarius

Apart from the floral sweater, everything else I've had in my wardrobe for a while! I haven't been shopping for new things in a while (and luckily, I don't need to, as I have a lot of nice things in my closet already!)

With the beginning of 2017, my resolution was to buy less and make the most out of the things I already have. I think I did pretty good overall!

I really feel better about myself and more organised, now that I stopped constantly buying new arrivals!

So this post isn't to indicate you on what's new in stores, but I made it to give you an inspiration for your fall look; if you like it, maybe you can put together a similar outfit from the clothes you already have!

Lifestyle: My bathroom renovations plans

Hello guys!

This is going to be a little lifestyle update post! 
As some of you might recall (as I blogged about it), 5 years ago, my hubby and I bought our first appartment here in Italy.
As most of the young couples, we had a limited budget so we couldn't exactly get our dream home, but we managed to arrive pretty close to that!

Our issue with this appartment is the lack of space for our ever growing family! 
When we first moved here, there were just the two of us, and now we're in four (our doggy Lancia, and our son Sebastian Josip now form our little family!).

We're always on a lookout for small spaces optimization ideas, that are also budget friendly!

Another thing that we always knew we wanted to change when it comes to our appartment, was our bathroom. It's tiny, it doesn't have a bath tub, but only shower cabin (quite out dated too), and it's just not very representative, nor functional!
We definitely have in plans to do some renovations in order to make it more enjoyable.

Having a bath tub instead of a shower would be ideal, not only for us, and relaxing moments after a stressful day at work, but also for my granny, who finds it very difficult to shower without my help, when she comes to visit.
In fact, this proves to be a major flaw of our appartment, as my grandmother is 85 and she can't stand on her feet the way she used to.

Renovating will take a lot of time and we need to ensure a significant budget for that, plus, we will be without our bathroom for a few days...which means we'll probably have to stay elsewhere during the works. All this requires us to have enough time on our disposal, which is something we currently don't have.
Renovation plans are definitely still on for the future, but, in the meanwhile, what can we do to improve our living space?

Great solution for when our granny comes to visit would be one of those wall mounted shower seats
that I found on-line.

I found wooden and plastic models, and the good thing about them is that they can be folded, so sitting whilst taking a shower is optional, and they really don't occupy any of the (already small) space!

Here are some of the models I was considering:

Our bathroom is green & white, so this particular model could work well for us.

Next is this bright yellow, plastic wall mounted stainless steel folding shower seat. I like the pop of color, this could bring some light into our small bathroom.

I also liked the bamboo teak wood wall mounted folding shower seat. It looks classic and practical.

I'll keep you updated on how my home renovations are going and what option will I decide to go for!
