Mouse tails….. “what is a name”

I think all the stress is getting to him

so decided we needed a couple days away.  He just has to make sure he has the “right name”. That suits. We are amazed at how Macey was so social and chatty asking lots of people their names.   He has talked to men in suits, men in overalls, college boys in their uniform and waiters at a restaurant….. he is getting a feel for names and has a thirst for knowledge. He checks out my laptop and ponders over all the names you have submitted….    its so cute watching him.

Here is a photo taken with the doorman at The Hotel Windsor Melbourne… they chatted away for ages…. he even helped macey check out the names put forward and they came up with an idea…. (all will be revealed later)

There have been some great names put forward…..keep them coming…. he’s decided not to stress himself too much and wait til times up.  then he is going to take a few days AND “TRY THEM ALL ON” or so he says.

we have  so far

Pickachu, jamie, Mason, maximillian,Mitey, pierre, munchkin, cutie, bubbles,  freckle, floppy, sam, pockets, spinney, charlie, sniffles, tickles, blackjack, freddie, squeaky, Dirk, Campbell, Vladimir, Mr. Mischief, Mouse Grayson,Edward, Frederick, Lawrence   ……

Macey is all excited now and on a real high… he is really getting into the names now.   There is still time to pop in your suggestions….. You have til sept 30th.

Kids and School Holiday Travel

Published by Elizabeth under Uncategorized

yep… its school holidays again. 

Spring has sprung and the kids are itching to get outside and play, and with the warmer weather lets all pack up the car and travel!!

well… we all know a trip in the car with baby and kids can be an ordeal with the “are we there yet” chymes by the time we get to the corner.  We roll your eyes, take a deep breath and hope for the best!!

Well I must say, I have great inspiration after being at the ickle kids website.  They have great ideas on how to keep the kids occupied and everyone happy on a road trip. 

 

 

Ickle Kids specialises in Activity Packs for Kids on the Go. Are you sick of the standard “kids activity packs” with just colouring books and pencils? Well, so are we! Ickle Kids bring the fun back into Activity Packs! Their range of travel packs contains a selection of handpicked, fun and educational toys for busy mums, dads and carers to just “grab and go”. These activity packs are sure to entertain your kids when you are travelling, dining out at restaurants, waiting for a doctor’s appointment or for taking to Granny’s house.

 

Laine is the founder and owner of ickle Kids. She is a mum of two young boys and she understands how challenging it can be to travel with kids. “We have travelled around Europe, Asia and many parts of Australia and we have never been able to find a “one stop” shop that offered a range of fun educational toys that were travel friendly. This gap in the market was what inspired me to start my own business”.

 

Ickle Kids pride themselves on sourcing travel toys that are unique and different to toys found in commercial stores and they are constantly introducing new products to their range. They can also personalise activity packs to suit your needs – child’s age, their interests, the type of holiday you are going on etc.

 

The ickle Kids range consists of:

* Wooden products – games, puzzles, push along toys, small toys for flights and car trips etc

* Brain Teaser/logic Games – our award winning games are sure to keep kids entertained on their journey and at their holiday destination

* Books – puzzle books and sticker books

* Playscenes – great removable stickers, which can be played over and over again on individual playscenes.

* Craft items –cool metallic crayons, sewing and lacing activities, play dough tools etc.
