That the average woman spends eight! years of her life shopping? 

In one year she spends four days on household/food shopping, 1,5 days on shopping presents for friends and family and seven days on shopping for herself...

- no wonder we get tired at times  

 

See you at f.shop? then at least your feet can rest while shopping ;-)

Have you read today?

Did you know that it is recommeded to read for your child(ren) for 20 minutes every day? 

Storytelling from a beautiful fairytale, some new literature or the old dusty history books will help your child develop its own fantasy, curiosity as well as its own reading skills - so whether you are going on a beach holiday, spending the Summer in the garten or making a cosy night time ritual it is time to stock up on some new books.

Bambo Nature nappies are as convenient as regular disposables, yet are "100% more biodegradable than high street brands."
 
Manufactured in Denmark by Abena and developed in collaboration with a core group of parents, the diapers have been awarded the Nordic Swan Certification for their minimal environmental impact and responsible eco practices. "The absorbent core has 50% less chemical gel than other eco-disposable nappies and a high percentage of starch - a natural absorber which is 100% biodegradable."
 
The biodegradable pulp used is harvested from sustainable Scandanavian forests where, "more trees are planted than felled." A GIZMODO post states that the diaper biodegrades completely in 6 months or less.

The Danish design company "A real cool world" has won several awards with this flexible, practical and not least, beautiful baby bath tub.

Having bought the bath tub on one of my travels to Denmark it quickly became one of our favourite baby items at home and I am very happy to now be able to offer you the possibility of having your own Flexibath as well...

Favouritz would like to encourage all parents to let their children take music lessons - who knows they could end up being so good that they can produce songs and films like this...

Happy song for all ages!

Thank you Marit for your inspiration 

 

The sea can be very exciting for the small children but it can also be a bit scary... Therefore I recommend you to bring your Flexibath next time you make a trip to the beach. This way your children can cool down - play with water and explore all the pretty keep-sakes they always find near the waters - without you or them being afraid of the "big water"...

 

Also fantastic on the balcony, in the garden and of course to bring along on your Summer holiday... 

 

The Flexibath cost 69.- chf - is available online at favouritz.com and comes in light blue, bright red, strong green and transparent (as on the photo above).
