european toys for kids.

Mookla offers such an amazing variety of European toys for kids of a wide range of ages, it’s impossible not to find something your child{ren} will love.


My current favorite from Mookla is the {haba} Smart Bag; it’s so handy. It can be carried as a shoulder bag or a turned into a backpack for your child to carry to and fro. My budding 8-year-old artist ‘P’ filled hers with a sketchbook & art supplies and takes it with her everywhere she goes.

I'm Allison, founder and editor of Petit Elefant. I run the gamut from granola to glamour and love everything in between. I think the beach is always a good idea, as is Diet Dr. Pepper; on ice. Sometimes I put out the fires and sometimes I start them. Sometimes I really do have it all together. Sometimes my children say otherwise. We just like to keep it real around here.

my daily blogs.

Since I’m busy preparing to scrutinize gowns {and rooting for Juno to win} at the Oscars this weekend, I thought I’d keep you happy by sharing some of my favorite daily strolls through blog land. Enjoy.

cute designer hospital gown for women.

Pretty in Pink.
$49.
{via girlie gowns}.

This clever mom was discouraged with the lack of style offered by standard issue hospital gowns, so she created her own and wore it to the birth of her second child. She had such a fabulous reaction from the hospital staff that she decided to create a business making these little numbers and share the love with the rest of us. I’m done having babies {I wish I’d had one of these when I had mine} but I have a neighbor going through chemotherapy who would love to wear one of these when she goes in for treatments. I wish I’d thought of this. Clever mom.

Bubbly Blue.
$49.

{Found via BabyLuxe}.

photo necklace.

$68.

Kathy Lo really does rock. Her jewelry is so simple, clean, & perfect at the same time. My photo necklace is my new favorite piece of jewelry. It has a photo of my cute babies on the front, a cool design on the back, & no spindly legs to be found. Everywhere I’ve worn my necklace people have gone crazy for it, asking me where they can get one of their own. So here you go; you’re welcome. And while you’re there, check out her cute initial necklaces. I definitely need one of those too; simple and charming.

mom spit pump.

lemon & white tea.
$9 for 2 oz.
{via MOMSPIT}.

My 3-year-old son would disagree, but this stuff is brilliant. I keep it in my purse for those everyday smudge emergencies and I have to say, I’m not sure what I did without it. It smells clean & delicious and gets the job done of cleaning off the {fill in the blank} ______smear with one pump of foam.
