It feels like I've only just gotten over Christmas and already my children are talking birthday parties!  Mind you, they're still a few good months away.  My oldest celebrates a birthday in May but she's already in full preparation mode for her party.  The youngest doesn't have a birthday till August but as they say,  there's nothing like being prepared!

So when it comes to a party table setting, whether it be a kids party or a dinner party for adults, I love to go all out and have everything coordinated.  Normally I start off with a colour scheme which is why, when styling a children's party I go for the Sambellina party range.  Their colour range of plates, cups and party bags is endless!  Sambellina makes it so affordable to create a gorgeous party setting.

Do you fancy spots or stripes?

It is so hard to believe that it's around a year to the date that tragic flooding and devastation hit Brisbane and our surrounding areas.  What a year 2011 was, what with floods and earthquakes, the crash of Europe and of course the news of continual problems in the retail sector.

2012 is a new year and Little People's Linen will continue to bring you the best quality range of children's accessories.  We love to give you good quality products for your money.  Products that will not only last years, but will also grow with your child rather than something you'll spend $100 on and only have for a few short months.  Our clients don't return three months later because their child's bed linen has worn out.  They return five long years later and only then,  because their baby is now a small child and has grown out pink and into red or yellow or blue.  

This week we are loving the new arrival of Lelby's Contemporary Children's Bean Chairs.  A great example of  a product that is not only good quality for money, but will also last you years.  We love that all the fabrics used are designed exclusively for Lelby's and  are in tones of Brown, Beige and Navy to compliment the colours of adult furnishings.  What a fantastic idea!  All Bean Chairs also come with a no spill inner calico bag for safety and most importantly, ease of cleaning.  The outer sleeve has a child proof zip that requires a paper clip to release and unlock.  Assembling the Bean Chair is as easy as filling the inner sleeve over a bath or large sink (to avoid spillage) and then covering the sleeve with the gorgeous Bean Chair in your chosen fabric.

That back to school time of year is almost upon us again, so we wanted to share some tips on how we think you can help to encourage good homework habits for your child. Here are five handy tips to keep in mind...

1. Ensure that the desk chosen has adequate space. It's important that your child can sit comfortably while still having room for an adult to accompany them should they need help. Our recommendations in a desk would be the Sirocco turned or tapered leg desk with a hutch, which is fantastic for extra storage. I love how the drawers in both these desks are hidden yet they are still nice and large. Another great advantage of the Sirocco desks is that two people can sit at the desk quite easily, with a chair fitting comfortably under each drawer.

2. Posture and comfort is important, so a good comfortable chair that grows with your child is a great addition to your child's homework space.

3. Good lighting is important to prevent eye strain and tiredness, so make sure that the work area is well lit.
4. Cork boards or notice boards located close to the desk or work area are a great tool. I find them very useful when displaying my son's words for the week as well as school notices and assignment due dates. Displaying important reminders in this way ensures nothing is forgotten.

5. Labelled storage is a great way to ensure that your child can find exactly what they need as well as returning it to the correct place. Having somewhere specific to store their items will also result in a tidy uncluttered desk, therefore allowing your child the space they need to work efficiently.

Follow these tips and you're well on your way to creating the perfect working environment for your child.
