Family Pedal Power

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Getting out on your bike isn’t just exercise - it’s fun! Going out for a bike ride can be a great family activity and we’ve found a cool new bike for mums who want to look stylish out on the cycle paths - the MamaBike!

The MamaBike is a funky bike that can accomodate 2 kids and is ideal for 9 month to six year olds.

  • Great alternate to pram walks
  • Reduces congestion and parking problems at schools & daycare centres
  • More fun for the kids than sat in the back of the car
  • Chance to mix with your community - don’t forget to wave while you ride by
  • Make roads safer & the environment just that little bit better by reducing the number of cars on the road and pollution (yes we can all make a difference!)
  • Available exclusively at Penny Farthing Cycles in Middle Park, Melbourne or check out their website.

    Special Birthday Dresses

    Saturday, March 17th, 2007

    It was my nieces’ first birthday this week and I knew as soon as I saw the ‘cheeky cherry’ dress from Posh Print Designs, that I had to get it for her. It was the perfect present!

    Only launching a month or so ago, Posh Print Designs has a beautiful range of girly dresses, pants, wraps and more.

    Saving those backs

    Friday, March 2nd, 2007

    We all know carrying your baby or toddler around can do your back in. They’re heavy little things and if yours isn’t heavy yet – just wait – they will be!

    We’ve come across 2 different brands that we think are great. There’s the funky and stylish slings from Akapipik. The poppy style not only looks great but is comfortable and practical.

    And for the more adventurous check out the Macpac range. This NZ Company produces the best outdoor child carriers so there’s no excuse for not getting out and about!

    Pink Flamingo’s

    Saturday, February 10th, 2007

    So tacky, but so cool – that’s Pink Flamingos and I love them!

    The perfect garden ornament in America during the 1950’s, a very bad film in the 70’s (don’t ever go and see it!) and a resort in Port Douglas (must visit some day…). For just about anything pink flamingo related check out www.flamingomania.com

    Pink Flamingo

    Check out the Pink Flamingo range of swimwear by 2 Chilies. This is such a cute range and comes as a tankini or all-in-one, so take your pick!
