I was asked to review the new Piping Hot Clothing range that is currently in Target. So I did what we are all warned not to do. I tried to work with my children!

Thank god we don’t have any animals.

As you can see by most of the photos – they are selfies. Why? Because no one was in the mood to help Mommy!

I don’t actually own any Piping Hot Clothing (until now). I am sure it is not deliberate but it’s just one of those brands I always associated with the Beach.

I am not a sand in the pants/shoes/ears/nostrils/hair kinda gal.

I really enjoyed wearing them and styling them to suit different (non beach) outings. From a casual lunch to morning coffee with the girls after a rough sleepless night with kids in my bed. (Gone are my “rough” nights out partying).

These clothes have a wonderful feel to them, they feel like old favorites soft and snug. The kids jeans came with adjustable waists which is crucial for my lanky little ones who need length and not width.

The cardigan was warm and comfy and I loved snuggling up with it. Everyone commented on the nice bright colors, perfect for a winters day.

Check out the full range at Target Australia.

Reflecting on the Past Year with Kids

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

  • Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
  • NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
  • Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
  • The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
