C2C - 2 more sleeps to go! Woo Hoo!!

Something to do tomorrow (the 24th): so you can plan today...

Treat the kids (or yourself or the whole family!) to something special under their pillow.
It will be easy anyway to get everyone into bed tomorrow night (especially for those who believe Santa is dropping by)... but just in case, put a surprise for them to discover.

* new pj's would be fantastic!
* a Christmas story book to read together
* (for older kids) a glow stick to hang near by
* a cuddly something (no, not a puppy! Try a stuffed Christmas character... and not a noisy one either.)

C2C - 4 more sleeps to go!

If the weather is okay and night warm, why not pitch a tent in the back yard and camp under the stars! Tell each other stories and watch the stars come out.... might be hard to see if you live in the city....

Okay, another alternative could be if you have a Christmas tree inside, why not set up camp under it for the evening and watch those lights instead!
Put on some Christmas movies or music and chill out for the night.
Who ever happens to fall asleep under the tree, can stay there!

Welcome to new brand: Teeny me

The girls curled up in their own Snooze Sacs from Melbourne label Teeny Me after I finished taking photos of the sacs for the shop. They absolutely adore them! And Chai fell asleep soon after too!!! So cute!

So finally, kinder mummies everywhere can rejoice in the fact that we have Snooze Sacs for your little one!
The base is padded and the blanket is soft. The blanket has an appliqued animal on it and is secured to the base at the bottom.
It rolls up and fastens with Velcro straps. Includes a shoulder strap and a name label sewn onto the outside of the base to record your child's name on their sac.
Easy for little ones to carry around and fun to snuggle up into too!

Welcome to new brand: Kanoe

I wish I had known about this fantastic hammock when my last child was young enough to use it!! She sleeps on people, not in bed.... needs the constant contact and movement that people provide. Ahhh well! I think this will be a life saver for many out there that need some time out.



The Kanoe motion sensitive baby hammock is made from 100% certified organic cotton canvas (double thickness), which will cradle your baby like you do. It is suspended from the ceiling and has a spring which allows gentle movement in any direction, when baby stirs, thus rocking baby back to sleep or you can gently soothe your child by rocking it.

Comes in 4 colour ways and is a fair trade product!
I think an investment worth considering if you are looking for the alternative to cots.
Great for little ones up to 2 years old.

Have also got some FAQ for you to read. (just click on the pages for a larger version.)
