Safe, Snuggly Lullabag


The Pointelle Cotton Lullabag has been a favorite in my household for the past 5 years. Since our first child, 5 years ago to our newest baby who is 6 months old, all three of my children have had restful, warm, safe nights in this cozy sleep snuggly.

Pediatricians recommend that babies DO NOT sleep with loose covers or blankets. With the Lullabag, covers stay in place, so using the Lullabag in place of loose bedding helps to safely reduce risk factors associated with SIDS. The Lullabag is made with breathable cotton that is subtly textured keeping your baby warm in the Fall & Winter months, yet cool in the Spring & Summer months. It has a specially designed zipper system that zips all the way around the outer edge and can zip in either direction. This allows for easy midnight diaper changes and easy on-and-off.

I like that it is cotton and machine washable. The streamlined design uses the highest quality fabrics for optimal comfort and durability. It doesn't pill and washes very well. I have had comfort knowing that my children are warm, cozy and most of all safe when they go to bed at night. The Lullabag has been in staple in my household and I can't recommend it enough.

Bringing The Jungle Home


Gentle Giraffe by Cloud B has got to be the cutest giraffe stuffed toy that I have ever seen. My three-year-old son has found a new lifetime buddy with Gentle Giraffe. We bought Gentle Giraffe because we misplaced a giraffe toy that used to come with us everywhere. The transition to the new giraffe for my son has been easy. I think it's because this giraffe does so much more than his previous toy. Conveniently tucked inside Gentle Giraffe's back is a removable sound machine that plays four unique sounds specifically composed to transport young listeners to the beautiful and mysterious plains of the Serengeti.

Safari Groove (Play) - Feel the rhythmic drums of a native tribe.

Relax (Safari Trails) - Imagine and explore the plains of the Serengeti.

Calm (Gentle Stream) - Sounds of a lazy stream provide an ideal setting for a good nights sleep.

Sleep (Victoria Falls) - Listen to the majestic waterfall and drift away into a peaceful slumber.

Gentle Giraffe is easy to use. There is a simple push button sound selection with volume control and an automatic time out function after either 23 or 45 minutes. The removable sound box includes 2 AA batteries. Gentle Giraffe also includes actual sounds from real giraffes. My son loves that. Gentle Giraffe makes a wonderful gift.

Let's Rock with Lulla-Bear


Lulla-Bear is a new product that I think is just great. As someone who cannot go to sleep without the use of my Marpac Sleepmate 980A, I know what bedtime security and ritual is all about. Needless to say, my son has developed his own sleepytime routine that requires various nature sounds to send him off to dreamworld. However, he needs these nature sounds to fall asleep when we are traveling or in the car. In Lulla-Bear, I have found the answer.

Lulla-Bear is an MP3 music player that delivers digital quality songs and sounds through its "Surround" speaker system. Lulla-Bear has individual music banks for Play Songs, Lullabies and Nature Sounds. For us, we were hooked on the soothing forest sounds and the flowing stream. Lulla-Bear is our partner now, wherever we go.

What I also like is that there is a built in USB port to access the 512MB of storage. That means that you can apply your own stories and songs to Lulla-Bear easily and without any additional software. The "Feel Soft" activation buttons make it easy to use and so child friendly that Lulla-Bear will become a part of your family's every day. I'm sure that as my son gets older, he will begin requesting some tunes to add to his Lulla-Bear collection.

The Cutest Pink Bear Ever!


I am a mother of boys. I have no pink in my house whatsoever. But I love pink and can't stop myself from looking at little girl clothes and dolls whenever I pass anything little and pink. And for some reason, all of my best friends have girls. I am an aunt to 3 gorgeous, girly nieces. My neighbors have a 5 year old girl and two year old twin girls. And wouldn't you know it, my boss is pregnant with a girl. So, as someone who likes to give gifts to all the special little girls in my life, it really doesn't get any cuter than this Personalized Pink Bear does it?
This ultra soft Monogrammed Pink Bear sits 14" tall and comes embroidered with a child's name in pastel colors. For birthday gifts, I always choose the pink bear with hot pink and purple letters. It is a wonderful keepsake that is just darling for girls everywhere.
