Eat Your Way To Christmas

Eleni's editable advent calendar made with 50 hand-iced sugar cookies is a great way to count down the days until santa arrives via his reindeers and sleigh and comes down the chimney with his red sack full to the brim with gifts for under the tree to be eagerly inspected early Christmas morning, eating his cookies and drinking his milk while the reindeer eat the carrots left out by the children. Can you tell that i love the magic of christmas? What makes Christmas magical for you and your family?

 

Going Gaga Over - Aden & Anais

Founder of Aden & Anais, Raegan Moya-Jones was introduced to many traditional practices of motherhood. One of them in particular - swaddling babies in generously sized, gentle muslin sheets amazed her. Even the fussiest babies seemed to sleep more peacefully in muslin. Despite the hot days and the cold nights, muslin swaddles helped keep babies comfortable. And, most importantly, the very act of swaddling seemed to build a bond between mothers and their babies. 

When she moved to the U.S. and started her own family, Raegan couldn’t find any swaddles like the ones she remembered from home. The only swaddles available were too small. Or made of much-too-thick flannel. Or, simply, unattractive. And so Aden & Anais was born and now has a diverse range of muslin products from the original wraps to sleep bags and hooded towels. 

Available in Australia online at The Hip Infant & Styled Baby and in New Zealand Muma Mias & 3 Wise Monkeys
