As winter bites we’re spending more days rugged up indoors, staring out at grey skies … and noticing the sad state of our grimy windows! Luckily we’ve just been introduced to a fab way to clean windows without going chemical-crazy.

Using the natural cleaning power of microfibre and water, the ENJO Outdoor Window Cleaner is an easy-to-use tool that will save you both money and elbow grease. No suds, no streaks, no fuss – using only water, this gadget makes glass gleam and comes in two sizes for small panes and large windows. You can also add a telescopic handle to get to those high windows or even clean solar panels on your roof.

It’s hard to believe that you can achieve such a great result without even a hint of cleaning fluid, but the proof is in the pudding.

Watch how it’s done here:

Every parent knows … once you find a settling technique that works for your baby, you’d better be prepared to keep doing it over and over again. Unfortunately, sometimes that means you get stuck in a pattern of patting, rocking, pacing the house or driving around the block at ungodly hours, which can be exhausting and impractical.

The Sleep Rumbler offers an alternative settling method that’s easier on tired parents and can be used anywhere. Pop your baby in the pram and roll it over the Sleep Rumbler mat, which recreates the gentle bumping and rocking motion of the womb. The mat can be folded up and stowed in the bottom of your pram so you can take it with you and use it on the go, providing that all-important consistency that babies love.

No more pushing prams in bad weather, endless driving or aching arms. The Sleep Rumbler could be just the sanity-saver every new mum needs.

Available from Bubba Funk – $69.95

If you’ve opened up a design magazine or visited any interiors blogs in the past few months, Kip & Co‘s awesomely quirky linens are sure to look familiar. From the must-have ‘Croc’ set to simple spots or the new ‘Banana’ range, these design-led linens are contemporary but not too serious. Perfect for adults’ or kids’ rooms and a world away from the been-there-done-that motifs that usually grace children’s beds.

In fact, I have this bedlinen on my bed right now, and I could not love it any more if I tried! Now that we’ve spied the single bed sizes, I think it’s time for a mini version for my mini me.

Available from The Little Kidz Closet – single bed duvets set $185 / cushions and blankets from $39

I should have been a boy scout, because ‘be prepared’ is my personal motto. Since becoming a mum, I’ve honed the contents of my handbag in to a kiddie survival kit. It’s regularly stocked with bandaids, bendy straws, zip loc bags, games, snacks, hand sanitiser and everything in between.

So this compact product from Envirotrend definitely appeals to me. Great for stuffing in school bags or for chucking in the car glovebox, these Splash It To Me lightweight kid’s rain coats can be balled up in to a small pocket so you’ll never be caught out by a surprise shower ever again. Made from high-quality waterproof nylon, there are 5 funky colours to keep the rain at bay.

Available from Urban Baby – $24.95
