Je li vam se ikad desilo da uđete u neku prostoriju, ugledate ili pomirišete nešto i time vratite sjećanja iz djetinjstva? Meni se to desilo prošle sedmice kada sam otvorila ovaj paketić:

Kosili! Ne znam postoji li iko iz moje generacije, sa ovih prostora, kome barem jednom, kosa nije oprana sa Kosili šamponom.

Sada Kosili ima i druge proizvode i mogu reći da svi jednako lijepo mirišu i orginalni proizvodi imaju odličan kvalitet. Mi smo iz ovog paketića isprobali kupku i šampon. Bude puuuno mirisne pjene ;)

Ne znam koliko ste upućeni, ali nedavno je bila afera sa Kosili proizvodima. Naime, pojavili su se plagijati koji su sadržavali jako štetne sastojke. Kosili je zato napravio akciju kojom će skrenuti pažnju na svoje orginalne proizvode. Prepoznat ćete ih po Švicarskom plusu u crvenom krugu.

 

Meni je jedino žao što je novom ambalažom izmjenjen onaj stari, dobro prepoznatiljivi oblik Kosili bočica. Sjećate se:

 I hvala Kosili za peškir sa posebno izvezenim imenom ;)

Yoga za malu raju

Jednom sam negdje, sasvim slučajno kupila ovu knjigu:

Little yoga

I iako moj susret sa jogom nije bio toliko uspješan (u toj priči sam bila samo 2-3 mjeseca) ovo mi se učinilo kao nešto super zanimljivo za djecu. I nisam pogriješila.

Kombinacija osnovnih joga pozicija i životinja na koje takve pozicije najviše podsjećaju je sigurno dobitna. Tako je u slikovnici asana Drvo (Vrkšasana) ustvari Ptica, asana Mačka (Mardžari) je naravno Mačka, a npr. Vjenac (Malasana) je Žaba. Mi prilikom svakog vježbanja dodajemo i zvuk, pa se čuje av-av, mjau-mjau, kreke-kreke, tvit-tvit, itd :)

duoBRO je već ekpert u jogi koju prati ova slikovnica i sad već može i sam sve uraditi. duoSIS nam se već sada pridružuje, jer naravno šta radi veliki braco, mora i ona. Čak ovako mala (17 mjeseci) dosta toga može pratiti. 

Ukoliko ste u mogućnosti, toplo savjetujem kupovinu ove slikovnice. 

Ukoliko ipak niste, evo opisa nekoliko nama najzanimljivijih pozicija, ali imajte na umu da je ipak sve mnogo zanimljivije kada imate i slike pored sebe:

1. Leptir - stojite (mi ipak trčimo) i podižete ruke gore-dole. Obzirom da ovdje nemamo neki glas, onda pjevamo: butterfly, butterfly, butterfly...

2. Lav - sjednete 'pod turski', ispravljenih leđa, ruke ne koljenima, plazite jezik i kažete: aaarrrrrrgggg!

3. Pas - stanete uspravno, a zatim rukama naslonite na pod. Mi se ovako i krećemo po kući i naravno govorimo av,av

4. Mačka - koljena i ruke na podu, i leđa treba izvijati gore-dole
5. Ptica - stojite uspravno, ruke ispružene u stranu, jedna noga savinuta i naslonjena na drugu. Ovdje je glas naravno: tvit-tvit
6. Žaba - čučnete sa raširenim koljenima, ruke ispred, i možete i skakati i glasati se kreke-kreke
7. Majmun - stanete uspravno i samo rukama spustite do poda, ali ne dodirujete rukama pod. Moji majmunčići trče kroz kuću i kažu: u-u, u-u, u-u...

8.Miš - nogu savijenih ispod trupa i ruku pored tijela, legnete na pod.

9.Odmor - lezite na leđa, ruke pored tijela, i malo se odmorite.

Dodatno smo ovu slikovnicu iskoristili da naučimo i sve engleske nazive za životinje koje treba imitirati. 

Eto...Malo vježbica u kući, dok ne budemo mogli napolje, nikad nije naodmet.

Baby growth - month by month

Remember the idea about keeping track of your baby growth?! Here is inspiration if you need it :)

If you read yesterdays post, then you know that duoSIS is now 1!!! (it still takes time to accept that), so I'm done with all 12 photos of her and I'm about to show you our final result :)

I didn't kept you updated about that little project, but I've been doing that photo shooting every month, with no excuses :) if you started this project yourself, then you know it is not so easy to remember to do it every month, you have to set up the props you were using, dress you baby especially for that occasion and I guess you and the baby have to be in good mood... so, it is not an easy job, and you got to force yourself to get it done, but trust me, when you see the final photo, you will be so proud and excited that you have something like that forever :)

Anyway, to keep story short, I played a bit with all those pics and here is the final result.

And here is the sneak preview of our entry room wall where we can enjoy those photos every day. I will make post about making those frames and tips to arrange them later on :)

And one more thing, before I sign out, you can keep track of your baby (actually toddler now) growth month by month, even after he/she turns one, but my plan is to do something else, much easier: take photo on every birthday with the number (you can go check again yesterdays post and see how duoSIS is holding number one)

Thanks for reading.

BIRTHDAY WEEK - Day 5 - Ladybug party

OK, this birthday week is veeeeeeeeeeery long :) yes, for me it lasts almost tree months. Time passes so fast that it really does feels that way.

Anyhow, this will be last post in this series and I hope you will like this one very much cos this party is a party for a GIRL!!! YAY!!! And, it was for my little ladybug.

Lets start from the invitation. I found inspiration somewhere on Pinterest and just customized it to suite us :)

And now let me tell you something about our outfits. :)

For the birthday girl I made a red and black tutu. If you missed the post about how to make one, here it is.

When I made first one, I didn't follow any size chart, so it came up too big for my girl. This one, I made smaller, and it fits perfectly.

I had a bit of trouble finding the plain white onesie (for some strange reason every onesie I did find had some applique on it! Grgrgrr) At the end I found one (Waikiki is the store to go if you ever need to buy one and you are local) And then I took it the print shop and have this printed on it:

Feel free to use it if you need it (in a case you need better resolution contact me and I will send it to you by email)

And while we are talking about printing on t-shirts, here is what duoBro had on his

I don't have a single photo of him where this sign is visible but trust me it was cool :) And yes, I had a trouble finding plain red tee for him as well, but somehow I manage to find it :)

And of course, me and duoTATA, also had to keep up with the kids and had to this color combination as well, so it was red and white for us too

(here is a little something to share:  after a long time I actually sewed something, and it was this skirt! YEY!!! Will share how-to very soon, it was ridiculously easy and I'm soooo happy with the result)

OK, for the decorations I made flower and ladybug garlands. Unfortunately I lost the PDFs but if I manage to find some free time I will make them again and share.

Of course, we used only red balloons.

And we played a little game – put a dot on ladybug :) just use a really big paper, draw a huge ladybug, but without dots and make some circles out of black paper. Give each child a dot, spin them first and let them put a dot on ladybug :) simple, but cute :)

And I also cut the circle in this huge lady bug so we can pretend to be a ladybugs. Here is the result

For this party I just didn't have time to make a cake, so we order the cake from one lady and if you are local you can find her here on FB.

And last but not least we celabrated this Birthday in Trebevićki raj! I can say only the best about this place and their service. Anything you want and need they will provide. As you can imagine, I have big standards, and I almost always have at least one thing to complain about (I am perfectionist, so...) and for these guys I don't have single one. They rule!!! And they have my recommendations for all of you who are searching for the place to celebrate something (even if it is not nice weather they have the inside space so you don't have to worrie about the rain) HERE is their FB page.

Ah, I almost forgot a thank you card. 

We had a great day and surely enjoy in every second...

That is all for now.

Baby growing - month by month

Few days ago our little girl turn 7 months!!! 

Is this for real?!? 7! I did NOT gave her a permission to grow so fast! Someone please tell her to stop, or at least slow down! :)

Time flies so fast and everything changes so fast, so today I want to inspire you to photograph your children and track their growth while you still have a chance. Here are few ideas.

1. place a toy along with the baby on the photo - he will over grow it eventually.

2.  it would be great idea to take photo every month on a chair or any piece of furniture to compare how the baby grows. 

(I couldn't find original source for this photo)

3. and here is my personal favorite: in the laundry or any other basket 

(I couldn't find original source for this photo)

Unfortunately I came across these ideas few months after duoSIS was born, but I was lucky enough to have pictures from her stroller basket, pretty much from every month, so I just kept taking these photos, even we don't use this basket any more. All this photos are taken with mobile phone camera. They are not perfect and if I could turn back time I would have  done it differently , but it is nice to have them anyway.

Thanks for stopping by.
