Real Mums: Simone of hiplittleone.com’s Top 5 Picks

Dutch mum Simone has lived in Australia with her husband since 2006.

After having her twins 18 months ago, Simone stopped working and became a stay-at-home-mum, or as she refers to it “stuck-at-home” mum, as her two tiny babies made it hard for her to go out.

Although she loved spending time with her little bundles of joy, she struggled to have time to herself to do the things she liked and never seemed to get the time to get her ‘mum shopping’ done.

To save time on her errands, Simone started to shop online and found the variety of items available surpassed that available in retail stores, to add to the variety was convenience, as she was able to shop while the babies napped without even leaving the house.

Her love for online shopping helped Simone realize that it would also be quite convenient to work from home and she promptly set up a blog, www.hiplittleones.com to share her exciting kids’ finds with other mums.

With what is now over a year of experience blogging and with another baby on the way, Simone found some time in her busy on and off line schedule to give us her top 5 items for SS10 from Alexandalexa.com
