Why fashion for adults is also “beautiful” colorful, as soon as it has to do with children
…unfortunately I do not know either! Mom fashion unfortunately adapts far too often to the child. Basically, I try to avoid everything that has to do with idols of childhood. Prints of all kinds – please do not.
Does the child suddenly want green shoes when shopping for shoes? Fine, even if they don’t go with anything else. Does the child get a toy that is absolutely awful? No big deal, if the storage place for it is pretty – e.g. a woven wicker basket in which you can easily hide plastic. And what if I can’t live with it? Then I’ll discreetly let it disappear and donate it at some point. Not only before Christmas, there is sure to be a little soul who will be happy about it.
Mommy fashion: Easily recognizable by the “great” patterns
With mommy outfits, in contrast, I find it hard to comprehend why, from birth on, people seem to develop the desire to still directly indicate to others that they belong to the species “parents”.
The demand seems to exist, otherwise the supply would not be in such quantity. Or do all the mommies who know how to sew (a great craft, I think!) not know what to do with the scraps of fabric full of motifs suitable for children? So they just sewed themselves something else out of it?
To my amazement, there aren’t just hobby vendors out there…
I’m questioning whether I need to completely switch to child, even with my style standards and fashion sense. I don’t want to just go “practical” and “kind of nice” or “when the kids are out of age, we’ll just sell it again” overnight. I want things that are really hard to part with again, or that I would prefer not to have to part with at all, because I can continue to use them.
This starts with the selection of the diaper bag, continues with baby carriers and does not stop when the child can walk and is dry. For example, I searched for a long time until I found a diaper bag that I would still take to work in its second life. Thank you, Rebecca Minkoff, for this stylish accessory.

“Born“ Moms: Preparing for All Life’s Challenges
The phenomenon of “born” mothers Do you know this as well or do you even feel addressed yourself? I’m not talking about helicopter or lawnmower parents (at least that’s what we‘re calling over-protective parents in German).

Baby equipment essentials – the ultimate list
What did we really need, what is just something that you use twice and then either the child is already too big for it or you don’t need it at all for a long time – no matter if impractical, rejection of the baby or simply superfluous? After one year as a “heavy user” you…

Two pacifiers and a puzzle piece

Style in the children’s room: Scandinavian minimalist design
…and why the “high-gloss nursery” remains a myth An episode on the subject of style in the nursery has remained in my memory during the purchase of my wedding dress – I was already clearly pregnant.

Zero Followers – should parents be allowed to upload their kids’ lifes on social media?
I’m a child of the late 80s – videos were made at Christmas and birthdays at best. With a video camera, which is more cumbersome to make videos than my laptop today and about as heavy and was recorded on tapes. Today’s generation of children doesn’t even know what the square pencils were used for…
