We're back from our mini getaway

Talk about BLISS, no phones, no tv and no laptop for four days!!!

We have just got back from a much needed mini break at Kangaroo Island.  Having never been there before I was not sure what to expect, but talk about a great way to get away with kids.  We stayed at Hanson Bay.  Just about as far away from Penneshaw as we could get.  It was stunning! The view anywhere else in the world would cost a million dollars.  Ok so our accomodation was very basic but it did the job.  Plenty on relaxing which is what we were hoping for.

Imagine as sun is setting watching the wallabies hoping around in front of your cabin and waking to a bay full of dolphins.  We also saw a Koala close enough to touch and heaps of seals on the beach at Seal Bay and Admirals Arch.

The beaches were stunning, in fact close to the best we have seen in our travels around the world and right on our door step.

But for Violet I think her favourite part was drawing in the sand with a stick with her dad.

If you are thinking of getting away from technology and showing the kids a heap of animals in their natural habitat then Kangaroo Island is the place to go.

Rockin Onesies.......

I love anything Rockin for babies and kids so I was super excited when I saw these cool onesies sold EXCLUSIVLY at Rockabye Baby.

How would you like your little one to be the first in the playpen to sport a super-cool Rockabye Baby! onesie featuring their bear skull and crossbones on the front, plus a little bear on the behind. These durable outfits are mosh-pit proof with neck and sleeve binding and a double-stitched bottom hem. Sorry, mums and dads, infant sizes only!

Rockabye Baby believe that being green is not only easy, but definitely cool. That's why their sweat-shop free rocker onesies are made from extra-soft 100% Skal-certified organic cotton, nickel-free snaps and dyed with non-toxic azo-free dyes. You can be confident in your baby's rockin' style while keeping their footprint small.

If only my daughter was still an infant..... well I can only hope number two is not far away because I have to get one of these onesies.

They are available in a great selection of colours so I am sure you would find one that would suit your babies personality.  Whether you choose Gray w/Lime Green & White Bears, Black w/Gray & Bright Pink Bears, Bright Pink w/Lime Green & White Bears,  Black w/Gray & Lime Green Bears,  White w/Black & Bright Pink Bears or Lime Green w/ Bright Pink & White Bears your little one is going to stand out in the crowd!

Tattoo Pettiskirt

I brought my daughter the 'Tattoo' pettiskirt and when she has it on she twirls so much she falls over.  I would show you a picture but she won't stand still!

We have three designs in store at the moment (Tattoo, Haute Red, Black with Purple Ruffles) and have ordered more because having seen these skirts I know they will be the envy of all little princesses.

Dittany Baby Luxury Tights

I don't know if anyone has seen that Dittany Baby Luxury Tights have sold out. That's right they are so FABULOUS they can't keep up with demand. Thankfully A Little Bit of Cheek still has them in stock.
On a personal note, I cant recommend these tights enough. Both my daughter and my nieces have these tights and have fallen over on concrete and skinned there knees but the tights remain unmarked. The other week my niece walked around outside all day at a family BBQ wearing her tights and no shoes and still no sign of wear and tear.

They are available in a range of FUNKY designs to match any outfit. We stock the 'Black Stars' 'Cotton Candy' 'Loving You' 'Rings' 'Spring Fling' and 'Tattoo' luxury tights. They are super stretchy as well which makes them comfortable enough to wear all day.

Why not grab a pair or two for you little princess. They are available from size 0-6 months up to 6-7 years.

Summer is here!!!

It's time to have some family fun time at the beach, park or just in your back garden. But don't forget to protect your kids from the harmful ultraviolet rays. It's not just about a hat and sunscreen...... What about their eyes?

How about a pair of FUNKY Frankie Ray shades?

Kids of all ages around Australia are falling in love with these shades. Frankie Ray has created a designer inspired collection for both boys and girls , who want to protect their 'peepers' while still looking cool.

All lenses are made from impact resistant polycarbonate and offer 100% ultraviolet protection (in compliance with Australian standards)

A Little Bit of Cheek is very excited to be stocking a great range of styles and they are running out the door. So grab your kids a pair today, they would make a great Christmas pressie!

Rockin Lullabies

Are you looking for an alternative lullaby?

A Little Bit of Cheek has just what you are looking for.

We stock the full range of the FABULOUS Rockabye Baby Lullaby Renditions.

My daughter is two and a half and still listens to music every night at bed time. So now she listens to one of my favourite bands 'Coldplay'.

These delightful interpretations of popular songs are great for both parent and child.

Depending on your musical tastes, Rockabye Baby covers punk, metal and classic rock.

Who remembers Do They Know it's Christmas? originally performed by Band Aid. This classic Christmas rock song and many more are available on Christmas Rock Classics. In other words, the perfect gift for a newborn, new parent or yourself and with Christmas around the corner these cd's would make fantastic stocking fillers.

A Little Bit of Cheek got a mention in Mother & Baby Magazine

Ok so I know it was only a little mention but all the same I was VERY excited when I heard that A Little Bit of Cheek was in Mother & Baby Magazine Oct/Nov 2009. I read this magazine religiously when Violet was born.

Thanks Jodi from Itch Designs.... Your clothes Rock!!!

Shoes glorious shoes.....

How excited am I with my latest shoes purchase.... and they aren't even for me!

I was looking everywhere for a cool pair of shoes for Violet to wear this summer. Something that would match her JettRoc dresses besides her converse high tops.

Does anyone else share my dilemma. I am not into girlie stuff, so flowers and bows were out. All the sandals I looked at for girls were sparkly pretty pink things and were NOT going to do the job. I had all but given up when I decided to put my search out there to the twitter community.

How lucky that was. Someone suggested I check out Yunginz and to be honest I was sceptical given I had found nothing remotely like what I was looking for. Anyway to my surprise I found EXACTLY what I was after..... The Gladette Sandal!

I fell in love and jumped on board and ordered them directly through Jenny. Even better than these fabulous shoes was the fact that I also received a FREE pair of shoes. Until the end of February 2010 or until sold out, Yunginz are giving a free pair of shoes (you have a choice of three) to every customer that purchases a pair of shoes from the new spring/summer range.

Not only do Yunginz have a great range of shoes for boys and girls and a great FREE offer they also have EXCELLENT customer service. Jenny was so friendly and helpful that I will without a doubt be shopping at Yunginz again.
