Anya got her very first pair of Havaianas when she was about 16 months old. They were a very tiny plain white pair that I’d bought from Brazil and were the smallest possible size. Can’t believe her feet used to be so teensy weensy!

Havaianas now come in so many interesting and adorable designs for children. I wish that some of the kiddy designs came in grown-up sizes too! The kids were each given a pair of Havaianas from the Disney series recently. Anya chose a Cinderella pair and Adam picked a blue pair from the Baby Cars range.
They wore them to the pool the other day and were happily stomping around in the comfortable slippers for the rest of the day. Anya couldn’t stop admiring her Cinderella flip-flops and Adam was just so chuffed to have slippers like his sister’s.

Anya tries to wear her Havaianas everywhere, even if they don’t match her outfit, and we usually let her unless we’re going to a place requiring something a little more formal than flip-flops. Adam loves his Havaianas too and tries to wear them every single day.
she loves wearing them everywhere
The Disney Princess, Kids Minnie and Baby cars collections are available at motherswork and Mothercare (except Causeway Point) at $29.90 for Disney Princess and Minnie, and $26.90 for Baby Cars. Here are some of the other designs in the Disney series!

Life in the Wee Hours 
I would want to Disney Cars– Lightning McQueen cos my boy loves cars, especially racing car. And I can drive him around and let him have a feel of a racer….
i would like to be mickey mouse because he is a classic, timeless character who always makes kids laugh. i’d like to make my children happy at all times.
I’d wish to be Cinderella’s fairy godmother so that I can transform my two girls into princesses for a day!
Mickey Mouse. Just cos everyone loves Mickey!
I want to be sleeping beauty…so that I can sleep for a long while without getting disturbed by chores and children haha!
I would like to be princess ariel so I can bring my boy to swim in the deep blue sea!
I would want to be Belle (Beauty and the Beast)- she lives in France and was known to be a nonconformist , loyal, stubborn, loves adventures and books and wanted to marry for love.
I would like to be Mickey Mouse because he has stayed relevant to kids over a long period of time, since the 1920s. I hope that as a parent, I’ll be the same and stay relevant to my child throughout all the different stages of her life.
I’d be Jasmine so I can fly on a carpet. :)
I would love to be Princess Jasmine – flying on the magic carpet sounds really cool!!!
Ooo I would love to be minnie mouse. .. just because its all pretty bows and all! Oh n I have mickey! The famous man in world!
I wanna be Minnie Mouse because I have never worn big bow on my head in real life!!
I want to be Mulan. She took her father’s place in war and she fought to defend her country and loved ones. She started out as a girl who didn’t know anything about fighting, but with perseverance and strong will power, she did almost everything a man could in a war. I want to have her kind of bravery, perseverance and will power to fight and defend for my loved ones, when necessary.
Everyday, I look forward to having my beauty sleep after the tiring long hours of work. Hope to be Sleeping Beauty! Enjoy the best beauty sleep with the Happily Ever After Effect. :)
I would love to be snow white coz I hope to look taller than the 7 dwafts :)
Do the Havaianas make the kids trip up? Sean has been bugging me for a pair but he is so klutzy even in proper shoes I am very reluctant to buy for him!
Can I be Aladdin? So I can ride on the magic carpet all I want. (Am so not a ‘Disney princess’ haha)
I wanna be cinderella AFTER she marries the prince =)
Can I be Walt Disney himself? coz he is creative enough to produce so many characters, loved by children all over the world. (very greedy heehee)
I would really like to be Tinker Bell as I’d love to be able to fly and to share the fun with my family and friends by sprinkling some pixie dust onto them!
I would like to be Doc McStuffins so that I can heal everyone that is sick. :)
I would love to be belle because my daughter loves everything about belle and I can spend a wonderful time with my daughter :)
Vera says: Rapunzel so that I can use my hair to swing from tree to tree. =)
The prince (partner of Snow White) because Snow white is my elder daughter’s favourite character and if I were the prince, it would thrill her!
Genie as i can really do somethings =)
I would want to be Merida from Brave. She’s spunky and free spirited with a mind of her own. I would love to ride a horse like she does too. And she has gorgeous hair haha
I want to be fairy godmother so that I can make wishes come true!!
Haha, that’s an interesting question! Wow, which character have I not wanted to be, over the years? Off hand, I think I would like to be Peter Pan – fighting pirates and being forever young!
mickey mouse, he is an icon and will always be!
It will be Mater from Cars cos he is warmth, fun, humble and generous spirit and his capacity to see & bring out the best in others. ;-)
Zechariah likes to be the Doc Mcstuffins so he can help all of us to get well with his prescriptions :)
I wanna be Snow White. Kind at heart. Rich by nature because she is the daughter of a King. Got even richer after marrying the Prince!
Conclusion: I wanna be rich, pretty, kind and loved by everyone!
Mickey Mouse! Love his outfit :)
Ariel…because my girl says so.Because her daddy has the same name as Ariel’s Prince ~ Eric.
If I could be a disney princess for a day, I would like to be Ariel, the little mermaid!
Reason: I cant swim in real life, I cant enjoy the corals and fishes like others do when they snorkel into deep sea.. I wish I could be Ariel and swim like a fish, I could then describe every details to my lovely kids every night after I m back to reality! Wow just e tot alone could make me smile! Thanks for bringing out the child in me!
