A little over two years ago, I started this blog as a way to encourage outdoor play and adventure for kids every day, regardless of the weather. (As a little throwback, you can read my very first post here.) What started out as a hobby that married two of my biggest passions – writing and the outdoors – quickly took on a life of its own. The other day I surpassed 2,000 followers on Facebook and I over the past couple of years I have enjoyed connecting with many of you through comments, emails and social media.
I’m convinced that the movement to get children back outside is gaining momentum and it feels great to be part of it.
To celebrate my two-year “bloggiversary” I’ve once again partnered with Sofee & Lenee – German Kinder Accessories for a giveaway! Sofee & Lenee came to my attention as I was searching the web for European-style rain gear, as these mud pants and jackets are not available in regular department stores or from the big outdoor retailers. Sofee & Lenee also carries high-quality wool clothes for both children and adults, which are a godsend if you plan on playing and adventuring outdoors in cold temperatures. (You can read my review of the Hocosa wool undershirt here.)
I’m really excited to share that Sofee & Lenee now carries an uber cute line of Organic Disana wool clothes for children, including skirts, sweaters, leggings, jackets and beanies, and that the owner, Dorothee, kindly has agreed to give away a pair of children’s leggings to one lucky reader. These soft Merino wool leggings are made in Germany and can be used to mix and match with other Disana products, or worn under a pair of mud pants for messy outdoor play.
Now, don’t forget to enter the giveaway!
Disclaimer: The giveaway is open to U.S. and Canadian residents only. Entries are accepted until midnight on October 7, 2015. A random winner will be drawn and notified via email. If the winner does not respond within 48 hours, a new winner will be drawn. Please note that the sizes and colors of the leggings available may vary.
Love the wool/silk undergarments for children. They seem super comfortable!
They sure are, Paula! 🙂
In addition to the leggings, I liked the green rain pants.
Yes, the two go really well together…
I visited the Sofee and Lenee website and was thrilled to see the silk/wool pj sets. My daughter has had a silk/wool nightdress that she has worn for years. It shouldn’t be so hard to find pjs without chemicals!
Absolutely, Cara! Many use the undergarments as pjs. To distinguish the two, it often helps children to have the sets in different colors.
What caught my eye is the Waterproof Rain Suit with Fleece Lining
So cozy – works really well as snow gear too!
I loved to see the mud pants!
Where is the “like” button, when you need it? 😉
Those orange leggings!!! So many great choices, but refreshing to see bright colors in the options!
I so agree Val!
I love the organic wool striped leggings!
These are quite fashionable, aren’t they?!
Congratulations on your two-year “bloggiversary”, Linda. Thank you for inspiring us all to play more outside and your continued support of our products for comfortable play in any weather!
Thank you, Dorothee! Dressing for the weather is definitely key to keeping kids comfortable during outdoor play:o)
Love the striped leggings!
Me, and my girls, too!
I have had my eye on those waterproof mud pants since the last giveaway! They are still on my wish list for both kids!
Those are really useful and save loads of laundry too, Pacia!
love the weather proof mud pants and rain hat
These mud pants provide for hours of fun outdoor play…
Congratulations on your blog’s success! <3 I am so happy to see this message being spread! Regarding the giveaway, I visited sofee and lenee's website and really liked their HOCOSA Undergarment choices! I can't wait till it gets cold enough to be in long underwear! <3 My little girl is just at the age where she is understanding the seasons and their changes. I am glad she's learning from nature instead of from a tv show. Thanks for all you do! <3
Thank you, Ashleigh! Childhood really is about experiences, instead of watching someone else’s experiences on TV…
The Hocosa wool/silk long underwear looks amazing but I’m interested in the heavy duty raingear too! 🙂
Thank you, Karen!
I love the silk/wool pj sets!

I love Disana! The striped leggings are adorable. And the boiled wool coat is so pretty!
The boiled wool coat is my favorite in Disana’s new children’s line!
I like the Crawling tights and its reinforced knees.
Yeah, isn’t that a great invention?!
I am a big fan of all the Disana clothing, especially the melange wool items. And that boiled wool coat is gorgeous!
Me too! 🙂
Wonderful to have alternatives to poly and the ilk for children ( and in my case, grandchildren) I love the bright color choices. I have two pair adult silk/wool leggings and live in them from Fall through Spring. I am glad I ‘stumbled onto’ this site, thanks to a friend reposting the giveaway.
Thank you for your kind comment, Pamela! I have had my own wool/silk shirt for 24 years now. Wouldn’t know what to do without it throughout winter!
I see a pair of wool leggings in a parcel from “Gwanny” this Yule! Perfect layer for under the snow pants and the boiled wool coat is my favorite as well!
We LOVE shipping packages from “Gwanny” 🙂 Wish there were more of those coats available this season… Hopefully again next year!
Wonderful items! The slipper socks look great. Thanks for the giveaway!
♥
I like the rainhat with cotton lining.
The lining makes it quite comfy…
Wool is what caught my eye – wool, wool, WOOL! Oh and the rain gear looks great and user friendly for the children
Yes, wool galore 🙂 The rain gear is indeed very user friendly for children.
Congratulations, Alisha E. for winning a pair of Disana organic wool leggings!
Thank you all for participating, your kind comments and Facebook ‘likes’. Be sure to visit our site now and then, as there’ll be more give-aways in the future 🙂
Warmly,
Dorothee
