Monday Giveaway - Pork Chop Kids!

Ever so pleased to be starting the week with another giveaway!

This week our gorgeous prize comes from the lovely Meg at

Pork Chop Kids.

You might remember when I ordered the Tinker 6 pairs of these after stumbling upon Meg's fabulous store back in May? Well they were a hit in this house. The little Tinker loves them and I can't wash them quick enough because she goes through two pairs a day.

Always changing her mind and her outfits. She loves her little pork chops. They are perfect for my ultra-active girl. She bounces around the house day and night, regular socks are always falling off and getting lost. Not the chops!

They are the cutest, cleverest little things. I was so thrilled with them that I absolutely had to do a giveaway for the blog, so here we are today.




Meg says Pork Chops were born from the evolution of necessity…warmth, protection, easy diaper changes, no missing socks, non-skid and runway-ready fashion!

Meg is offering our lucky winner a pair of Pork Chops in the print and size of their choice! To enter all you need to do is check out Meg's store here and leave me a comment below telling me which print you like best and why.

You know the drill, Tinker will pick the winner on Friday morning. As always she is open to bribes. She likes grapes, cheese, chocolate and teddy bear biscuits.

Yesterday on our walk to the shops my little Tinker removed her shoes (undoing both laces and Velcro), her socks, her skirt and her hat and that was only 10 metres away from our house. It was quite chilly and so windy I felt like every person who passed us by was thinking "look at that woman in a coat yet her poor baby is half naked" so I kept saying over and over in a really loud voice so people could hear "oh darling you really MUST put your socks back on at least!" To which she would reply (equally as loud) "No. Not now!" Yep that's my girl.

I was thinking I could really do with some thigh high tights for her. That fake housewife side of my brain started thinking- gee I bet I could even make her a pair. Fortunately for everyone involved I didn't get much further with that sewing disaster when I saw a little ad for Pork Chop Kids and they sell exactly what I'm after.

Of course they are in the States and of course it was only last week that I cancelled my lease of a US PO Box so I can no longer shop with my American postal address. The store owner is really lovely and she replied to my email right away she is going to see if there is a cheaper way of getting them to me. How nice is that? Now if there are American mummies reading this who have the same problems I do with keeping socks on their kids, I can definitely recommend this store for great customer service.

You really should buy a pair of these and what makes them great is they don't need to be removed for nappy changes and they have feet. I really don't like those " baby legs"tights they sell here in Australia that don't have feet. You still need to add socks and really it does ruin the line of the outfit, they are like tight legwarmers and as far as I'm concerned leg warmers belong with stirrup pants- in the 80's!
