The 31 Onesies of January - part 1

Our Christmas theme had been great fun. So carrying on with an 'outfit of the day game' to distract us from any January blues seemed like an idea.

Penny has lots of onesies. I love the ease of them, how comfortable they are for playing, and so many of our favourite brands have the best patterns to choose from.

Week One was easy, enjoyable and full of legwarmer-happiness

(sometimes because the legs of the onesies were slightly above ankle skimming!)

Onesies are from, clockwise from top left, Next, Molo, Tesco, Four Funky Flavours, Gooey Brand, and Molo

Week two started off great, but we really did need our orders from Juicytots and Mira Mira to keep our interest in the challenge. I sold off lots of Penny's old clothes and was able to indulge in a little 'January Sales Shopping'. I bought things that will fit her now, but should last 6 months or so. 

Already, I am missing her other clothes. I'm missing matching up tops and pants, tights and skirts, and all her dresses are looking very neglected in the wardrobe. What I thought would be a fun game, has become quite the challenge. There is also the issue that I don't think she has 31 onesies. Yes, she has a lot, but 31 would be ridiculous. Ahem. So, next week, I can see babygros, dungarees, and anything that has snap buttons being brought in to make up the numbers. 

For now though, at the half way point, Penny is rocking the onesie look!

Happy New Year

Well, after an unscheduled break for December due to a disruption to our internet service (you know, at that time of year when watching hours of tv series on Netflix can be guilt-free? We were three episodes away from the last ever of Dexter when it crashed, not good!) we are back. We've seen the final of Dexter, had a wonderful calm Christmas, and the New Year diets have started!

If you've been following us on Instagram , you'll know we had lots of fun in the run up to Christmas. Every day was a Christmas outfit day. We totally stole the idea from my friend, who dressed her son in Christmas-costumes a few years ago, creating the cutest advent calendar. He was everything from a pudding to a reindeer, to…a CHRISTMAS TREE!

Pennys best friend in Sydney also joined in. While her outfits were tshirts and summer skirts, Penny was layered up for our winter weather. Both babies looked ridiculously cute every morning. Maria and I enjoyed the challenge. The hashtag #ootdgames was created and we've followed through with #31dresses of January and #31onesies of January. Blogpost on getting to the halfway point in January to follow.

But for now, here are the girls in their Christmas outfits.
