my favourite and my best : childhood

one for me please : baby fish tank

ubabub as styled for inside out magazine

Mid-century modern meets fish tank meets crib in this funky design by Melbourne parents Natasha and Daniel Dumais of Ubabub. Pictured here is the Nifty Clear cot but the Pod also has a lovely cocoon/space age aesthetic. I read that in addition to being oh so lovely they're also eco friendly, which is always a plus.

How 'bout you? Do you prefer a vintage, traditional or contemporary cot? Or do you dream of a baby fish tank too?

fun stuff : build a sandcastle

Ok, I know what you're thinking, 'Duh, of course it's fun to build sandcastles and we do that with our kids already'. But this is actually a picture of the baby space godmum (no, that is not me looking extremely lithe in a bikini -- those days are sadly far behind us) playing with the preschooler while I mostly laid back on my towel, drank coffee and read a book.

So, what is the moral of this post?
