baby's go-to item for all occasions - warm and safe in organic merino

Let's face it, clothing and wardrobe planning is just not getting the same attention it did pre-baby.

Kids exploring having fun outside

I would love to hate it, but I just can’t.

Am I the only one confused about Pokémon Go these days?

On one hand it’ll obviously increase our kids’ “screen time” (hate), but on the other hand it does take them outside in nature (love).

Is this the new order of the day, outside play can only be experienced through technology?
And is nature and technology in general mutually exclusive?

Roots & Wings Organic merino wool for baby and child so soft and so durable

Økologisk merinould til babyer og børn i al slags vejr

Sometimes I wonder where I would have been without merino to wrap my babies in.  As a mum, I like to know my kids are comfortable no matter the weather. 

When my first boy was born, I received an inordinate amount of merino. Clothing, blankets, beanies and booties – all made out of this fiber that I hadn’t previously had much experience with (whaat??!!)

Økologisk merinould inderste bløde lag i vinterkulden

It’s been a cold winter so far, only with little sign of change. Obviously this is superb for outdoor snow fun and skiing if you’re lucky (hurray!), yet usually not so good for parents of little people.
