Moving to a new house means finding many hidden treasures in your home ... like my baby album. I am so happy my mother has kept this book for me and a couple of years ago she told me it would be better if I kept it myself. And she was right... as always :) ... my boys love looking at these pictures ... especially Kiet while he doesn't comprehend yet that I have been a baby and small too :) but he likes my chubby face and seeing me in funny clothes!
With our digital era I believe it is so important to not forget printing images from your kids and just like in the old days collect them in a book or album ...
Yesterday I spotted this beauty over at Mokkasin and yes it would be my first choice at the moment. "The book of friends" is from Pleased to Meet. A paper goods studio founded by Daniela Könn and Marcel Hornung. A German couple that met in New York while working at different design agencies.
For all you B:Kids Moms', Jurianne Matter is one of our Christmas Home inspirations this year.

I never celebrated Halloween as a kid, mostly because it was not so common here in KL. I would have loved it though ... especially the dressing up part. I must say nowadays we see more and more Halloween decoration in the shops. Would love to try out some of the above ideas for my nephew and niece. Not so much of the orange and brown this time, but we’ll still keep it spooky. I’m thinking of a ‘Spooky Masquerade Party’ ...
Keeping it simple with a 'take home party pack' for the kids with Halloween quotes “Open if you dare!” And how nice are those skull candies? I bet those spooky white chocolate dipped cookies are not so difficult to make. I hope we have given you some perfect last minute party ideas.... sasy, fast and yummy!~Sufiya
