Happy New Year!
Wednesday 11th January 2012
Bring on 2012! Very excited for this upcoming year! Hope all of you had a lovely holiday and I wish you all a fantastic year ahead. We were away in Egypt taking in some much needed sunshine! It was glorious. Now back to the grime. This year I will be getting back into blogging about all of the things I love. I’ll also be blogging for Kids Company, a London charity, which I’m really excited about. Here are a few pics from our holidays! Send you lots of love x
Giving Thanks
Wednesday 23rd November 2011
One of the things I love about being a Mama is that I get to make up our own family traditions. One of which is to give thanks to the local police and firemen every year. This year we’ll be making yummy white oreo truffles and chocolate chip cookies (4 dozen!!) to give to them. I’ve also asked the nursery where Luna attends to get the kids to make cards/pictures for them. I take any opportunity I can to teach Luna about the importance of giving and this is just one way where it can also be fun and interactive. I encourage you guys to do something with your little ones to give back to the community in this time of thanks/holiday. Get your aprons on and have a fun messy time with the kids in the spirit of giving.
Tis The Season for Giving
Tuesday 30th November 2010
As you are aware, Little Lunalu is heavily involved in working with charity through our Lunalu Foundation. We give 5% of our sales (not profit which makes us unlike everyone else!) On a more personal level, I am involved with a great organization called Kids Company. This is something I’m doing outside of the Lunalu Foundation. Being that it’s the holiday season, I wanted to mention that it’s a great time to give back to the universe. It doesn’t have to be in monetary form. You can donate your time or expertise! There are loads of ways to help out.
Our family believes in the importance of involving even the little ones in the family. We try to teach Luna the importance of giving to others and this year we’ll let her be apart of it! She is going to pick some presents to donate to needy children.
We hope that you guys will try do something for someone else in the spirit of the season. Spread the LOVE! xo

Lunalu Loves LemLem
Friday 2nd April 2010
We absolutely love LemLem, a brand by Liya Kebede. They only do children’s collections for Spring/Summer so be sure to snatch up some goodies this season!
About Lemlem:
Lemlem n 1 hand made in Ethiopia from natural cotton. /lem:lem v 2 [Amharic] bloom, flourish. 3 [history] Since ancient times in the land of the Queen of Sheba, the Ethiopian people have adorned themselves in beautiful hand woven and hand embroidered clothing. The hand spinning of cotton and intricate embroidery was the work of women while the hand weaving was done mainly by men. It is our wish to bring to you an incredible handwork and help preserve this ancient art form by creating opportunities for the Artisans. Because many of our pieces are hand woven and hand spun, natural variances may occur adding to their uniqueness and beauty.

Let Them Eat Cake Charity Tee

Created in collaboration with artist Annie Kevans for LTEC. Felicity Lynch, the designer of Let Them Eat Cake, is one of the most buzzed about up and coming childrens designers.

The Oscars for Kids
Tuesday 16th March 2010
Little Lunalu is proud to be apart of this TRULY AWESOME charity event with Planet Awesome Kid. If you are in NYC, you must go! Trust us this is not to be missed! The children will check in at a kids’ size airport check in counter and receive their passport for a journey into an immersive world of experience and interactivity called Planet Awesome. Throughout their journey they will experience things out of the ordinary… awesome things… like drinking hot cocoa with giant squirrels in the forest, playing ring toss with an octopus in the ocean, striking a pose in a professional photo shoot, dancing in the city to a celebrity DJ… just to name a few. All of the decor, activities and games have been created to entertain, educate, and inspire the children at a level that can only be describe as AWESOME. And while the Awesome Kids are exploring their Awesome Planet, Mom + Dad can stroll through the marketplace full of luxurious goods and perhaps, be a bit over indulgent, knowing it all goes to a great cause. For more information click here. Be sure to look for the Little Lunalu area where you will get a special treat and see the fabulous event t-shirts where all the profit goes to Global Action for Children.
Help Haiti
Sunday 17th January 2010
Little Lunalu donated to Doctors Without Borders to help with the Haiti Crisis. There are many ways you can get involved to help the people of Haiti. Please do your part. It’s so easy and every little bit helps. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Haiti and all the volunteers on the ground helping out. Image from MSF here.
