Smells, feelings and memories

📖 Recently when we were on a family trip Max & I got talking about senses, in particular - smells 👃🏼 How they can help locate places (especially when you can’t see) & how they trigger memories or feelings of different things…

Here are some of our musings.. I wonder if you can relate? or have any smells that make you remember something in particular?

🥖Garlic bread is the smell of a restaurant
☕️ Coffee is the smell of a cafe
💧Chlorine smells like swimming
🪑Furniture smells like Thailand
🫧Blankets smell like Grandmas
🏖️ The caravan smells like mozzie cream
🚌 The school bus smells like lots of things
🤧When I have a cold I can’t smell anything at all
👃🏼There are bad smells and good smells.
😁Good smells are the best
🙏🏻Some people can’t smell anything at all

A story about Sensory Processing & an Apple Watch

Wearing a smart watch sounds pretty simple right?…The truth is that it’s not simple for everyone. Find out some truths behind how complicated this can be for someone with Sensory Processing Disorde...

Max is sitting with his hands in his lap & a smile on his face. He is wearing our Long Set in Periwinkle

Acceptance doesn’t require vision ♥️

He talks to me often about how everyone is different & how some people have disabilities. It helps him to process the complexities of life & understand more about himself & other people...

Amazing

My child is very hard to buy clothes for, this has been a success. No refusal to wear, no complaints when wearing it. It is very cute on too.

These tops are great!

I love these tops! My son has severe Autism and sensory processing issues and struggles with heavy fabrics, coats, zips, tags, cords etc. The fabric of these tops is so lightweight and soft - the perfect solution! They are also easy to wash and dry and keep their shape. 10/10!

Very soft and smooth socks with no toe seam

Very soft and smooth socks with no toe seam. But there are finished ‘ends’ at each toe corner of each sock, which was the primary annoyance for my 4 year old. You cannot feel the seam along the actual toes, but you can feel them in each corner along the sides of the toes. Just flagging for other sensory spicy people/parents

Thanks so much for your review Felicity. We’re glad the socks feel soft and smooth & your 4 year old is happy with them. We totally understand how the tiny corner joins can still be noticeable for some kiddos which we do note in the product description so families can decide what will work best. Every sensory profile is unique, and your feedback really helps.

Not designed for Houdini’s

This was a lovely onesie, soft fabric but I was shopping to keep my fecal smearer dressed and he was able to slip out of this easily. So not for our needs, but for those searching for comfort, it’s a great purchase.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review, Sam. We’re really glad the fabric felt lovely, and we totally understand the challenge with little “Houdinis” - it’s real! Our onesies are designed first for sensory comfort and easy, tag-free dressing, which is why we keep hardware like zips to a minimum & they’re certianly not escape-proof. Your feedback will help other families choose what’s right for them. Thank you for sharing.

Very soft and acceptable for my very sensitive child feet

Very soft and acceptable for my very sensitive child feet. Highly recommend.
