What My Kids Wore

It’s been a while since I managed to get round to doing a What My Kids Wore Wednesday post and that makes me sad! I LOVE sharing what the kids’ are wearing and I really enjoy putting together little outfits for them. This week we’re sharing two Ted Baker outfits that we kindly got to choose.

Here’s a fun fact, back in my old job – when we lived in London – I used to buy Ted Baker kids’ clothes for a well-known department stores’ international stores, so the brand has always had a special part in my heart! I love the signature prints and styling. I can always spot a Ted Baker item of clothing a mile off, which is a great thing for a brand.

First up is Meels’ outfit. She helped choose this legging and top set. and was very excited when it turned up in the post. She’s not usually a Pink girl (Blue is her favourite colour), so I was quite surprised at the choice. She said she liked the ‘pretty pattern with lots of flowers’ and ‘cosy leggings’. I’m not sure how she could tell they were cosy from the photo, but they are actually quite a good thickness!

The top is such a nice fit and is really soft. A great option for wearing during the day but it could also be dressed up with a pair of dark jeans and little pumps.

I love the quilted detail on the leggings. It’s adds something a bit different to them and makes them look super premium too. As do the little bow details too!

Oh my goodness, I’m in love with this mac and would love an adult version! The way it fits looks lovely, with the waistband detail, and the Navy colour and Rose Gold hardware go really well together.

It’s actually got a bit of a sheen to it, which is a nice touch. It’s got a zip away hood too, which is handy.

L’s outfit is serious comfort goals. It is a zip up hoody and bottoms set and is a really nice shade of Blue. Blue seems to be a colour that suits him quite well – probably because of his eyes. The zips blend in well and are good quality, which is always important in kids’ clothes!

I love the perforated detailing on the set. It adds a texture to it and looks great. The line stitching really adds to the top and bottoms too. The subtle branding is a nice touch. I’m not the biggest fan of over obvious brand logos etc on the kids’ clothes. He’s just turned two so the age 2-3 size is a tiny bit big for him on the bottom at the moment, but that just means they’ll last for ages!

His jacket is great. Practical and stylish. It’s a good length for him at this age because any longer would probably get in the way of his playing and running around outside. How good does the pop of bright Green inside look too!

The quality of the materials Ted Baker use for their clothes is always second to none and they feel so lovely and comfy against little one’s skin. Another total parent thing to say is that they wash really well too! They don’t lose their shape, colour or quality whatsoever, which is good news when you’ve got kids who like to put their clothes through their paces. My two are constantly on the go, inside and outside, and don’t give a second thought about how well they are looking after their clothes! EscortNavi

We absolutely love these lovely outfits and will be sharing a couple more over on our Instagram page soon.

‘Each of us as citizens, has a role to play in c ‘Each of us as citizens, has a role to play in creating a better world for our children.’ - Nelson Mandela ❤️
It’s not enough though, is it? We’ve always h It’s not enough though, is it?

We’ve always had diverse toys in our house (not enough, but I’m working on it ❤️), but when questioned ‘why do you buy your kids Black dolls?’, I’ve faltered and answered incorrectly. I would respond saying ‘because that’s the doll Isla liked the best. What does it matter? We’re all human’, rather than questioning why that person is questioning it in the first place.

In a massive learning curve this week, where I am actively trying to become an anti-racist ally, not just anti-racist/non racist in general, I have found so many shortcomings in my effort to educate my kids and in my own attitudes towards race. But this isn’t about me. So here are some resources I’d like to share on top of the ones shared in my stories.

Some books to read:
Me and White Supremacy - Layla F. Saad.
Why I’m No Longer Talking To White People About Race - Reni Eddo-Lodge.
How to argue with a racist - Adam Rutherford.
Brit(ish) - Afua Hirsch.
White Fragility - Robin Diangelo.
I Am Not Your Baby Mother - Candice Brathwaite.
So You Want to Talk About Race - Ijeoma Oluo.

Diverse kids books:
Anti Racist Baby - X. Kendi.
Riley Can Be Anything -Davina Hamilton.
Look Up - Nathan Bryon.
Mae Among The Stars - Roda Ahmed.
The Mega Magic Hair Swap - Rochelle Humes.
Let’s Talk About Race - Julius Lester.
Welcome To Our World - Moira Butterfield and Harriet Lynas.
This Book Is Antiracist - Tiffany Jewell.
The Extraordinary Gardener - Sam Boughton.
Let The Children March - Monica Clark-Robinson.
Ruby’s Worry - Tom Percival.
A Kids Book About Racism - Jelani Memory.

Some things to watch:
When They See Us.
13th.
Who Killed Malcom X.
Time: The Kalief Browder Story.
Explained: The Racial Wealth Gap.
Dear White People.
I am Not Your Negro.

My to do list:
- Sign more petitions.
- Donate to more causes.
- Listen to podcasts and share.
- Encourage changes in the school curriculum so that my children, and their classmates, get a better, much more rounded and diverse education.
- Call things out.
- Have honest/open conversations.
- Share content.
- To keep educating myself, whilst never expecting others to do it for me.

It’s just a starting point.

Thanks for listening x
Black Lives Matter. I can never pretend to unders Black Lives Matter.

I can never pretend to understand, but I will always stand.

I’ve been on a huge learning curve this week and have, shamefully, come to the realisation, which I should have a long time ago, that it’s not enough to just not be racist. We must also be actively anti-racist and do everything in our power to ensure our children are too.

Today is a day to stop, listen, support, educate ourselves, donate, sign petitions, take action in any way we can, big and small, to make sure that everyone knows we stand with our fellow humans, family and friends. But we can’t just do this today. We must do it each and every day going forward ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻
And breathe! First day without both my babies for And breathe! First day without both my babies for the first time in 10 weeks today and it couldn’t have gone better. Both had wonderful days and were full of stories when they got home. I said over on stories last night, which got an incredible response so thank you to everyone who reached out, that I am completely comfortable with my choice to send the kids back to school and nursery but would never, ever judge anyone who felt different. We are all in different boats in this storm we’ve found ourselves in and what works for my family, might not work for yours. I have deliberately stayed out of the ‘are you sending your kids back or not?’ debate as it started to feel like another toxic discussion, in the media and on social media, that was resulting in yet another parenting divide.
I could have had the kids in this whole time, under key worker provision, but tried my best to hang on till the phased reopenings that I hoped would happen when they did. They were what I was aiming towards. Don’t get me wrong, I have LOVED having the kids at home together for such a sustained period, we have made lots of memories and learnt so much more about each other, but mixed in with the nature of my job and the fact that @thisdadalife is deployed and so I’m on my own with minimal support, I couldn’t have gone on much longer.
When I got in from dropping them off today, and as I went upstairs to work at my desk, I literally collapsed on the stairs and almost cried in relief. Relief that we made it through, as dramatic as that sounds. I don’t think I realised the toll it was taking mentally as I was constantly running on adrenaline.
I am so happy to get a bit more balance back and to, most importantly, feel like a better mum again. Not a snappy trying to juggle it all 24/7 with no break mum.
If you sent your kids back today, whether you wanted to or not, I’m with you and support you.
If you have kept them home in your bubble for longer, I’m with you and support you.
If you’re still unsure what to do and are undecided, I am with you and support you.
Nobody knows the full extent of someone else’s circumstances and we have to stop and realise that before we judge anyone else ❤️

This is the first year in YEARS that I have felt ok wearing a bikini. And I feel like it’s more down to how strong I feel, rather than how I look. Whatever it is, I hope it continues ❤️
On another note, how tanned does the @filterbymollymae fake tan make you look! 🙌🏻
(Both bikini and cover up are from last year).
