Watch out! Here comes the bull.. I mean Sebastian!
Bull in a China Shop; that about sums up Sebastian. Now he can warn people that he can get a little crazy by simply wearing a very special shirt. A Blirt Shirt.
Blirt Shirts give kids the abililty to relay very important to those around. Messages that should be given, but aren’t usually spoken. (according to Sebastian)

You will love watching family and friends figure out what your child’s Blirt Shirt means. I was surprised that my sister in law figured out Sebastian’s "Bull in a China Shop" shirt right away. My husband on the other hand.. we won’t go there!

Who came up with this idea? The founder of Blirt Shirts is not a native english speaker. She came up with the great idea to design shirts that represent her interpretations of our figures of speech.

Blirt shirts are made of 100% organic cotton, use non-toxic dyes and are water-base silk screened. Blirt Shirts are available in sizes 6 months to 6+ years and in several gender nuetral colors. You can also choose short or long sleeve. Now is the perfect time to get your child a long sleeve Blirt Shirt.

A booklet that accompanies each shirt playfully provides derivations and definitions. The goal of Blirt Shirts is to visually represent figures of speech that embody strong and unique character traits of kids.

Other sayings are: Fish out of Water and No Shrinking Violet.

Lulla Bed Story Blanket

Age 3-5, Age 5-7, Age 7-10, Ages 10-13, Bedtime, Nursery & Room Decor, , ,

Lullabed
I never dreamed something like this would be on the market. It is so neat!  Lulla Bed came up with a great idea to create kids comforters that actually light up and play sounds related to the comforter’s theme. Sebastian’s Lulla Bed Story Blanket is the Space theme and plays really cool space sounds. The lights are bright enough for Sebastian to see when the lights are off but not too bright to keep him awake.   Lulla Bed Story Blankets are  not only great for bedtime but for play time also!  Sebastian loves to build a fort with his Lulla Bed Story Blanketl, push the light and sounds button and read books, or play with toys. It’s like the ultimate fort. I would have loved to have had a light up and sound making blanket when I was young.

The Story Blanket  is a duvet cover and comforter with 133 miniature LED’s. The comforter plays a themed soundtrack while the duvet cover softly bubbles with light.  The sound can be played in two ways. There is a two minute light and sound show for storytime or playtime and a one minute fading light show for sleepy time.

What’s really cool about Lulla Beds is that they make co-ordinating pillows, pillow shams, and bed skirts so your child’s bed will have a complete theme.

Choose from a Space theme, a Princess theme, a Heroes theme, and a Kitty theme.

Oh, and there is one more very important product sold at the Lulla Bed website… It is a "Bed Effects Light". You know how years ago, you would see cars with ‘glowing’ lights under them? That’s what this does to your child’s bed!  It is really neat! Your child will no longer be afraid of ‘monsters under the bed’ when they have a Lulla Beds Bed Effects Light.

Pumpadoodle personalized music for kids

Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Age 5-7, Age 7-10, Ages 10-13, Music & DVD, Personalized, ,

The look on Sebastian’s face when he heard the music on this CD was priceless. I’m not kidding. He was so excited that he was the star of the songs. He danced, he sang, he jumped up and down! 

Our Pumpadoodle CD travels with us from room to room in the house, it makes its way into the car and even to Grandmother’s house.

Our CD has four songs on it, two of which have a true rock n’ roll sound that Sebastian loves.

When you visit Pumpadoodle, you can listen to snipits of songs. You can choose from birthday songs, songs about friends, pets, holiday songs, sports, super hero’s and more.

The sound quality is great and singers voices are amazing. They really grab Sebastian’s attention and can pull even the most unsuspecting parent into the song.

Depending on which songs you order for your Pumpadoodle CD, you will be asked questions such as what is your child’s name, what is the name of one of their friends, what is their pets name, what is their bicycle seat cover, what city do you live in, what do they want for Christmas.  The songs are so personalized, your child will be in awe!

Teddy Bear of the Month Club

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Age 5-7, Age 7-10, Beauty & Skin Care, Store Reviews,

My son, Sebastian, loves teddy bears. He would love to get a new teddy bear every month. Part of growing up is having stuffed animals that you can snuggle with and take anywhere and having a choice of which teddy bear you take with you to Grandma’s house is even better! Now kids can get a new teddy bear every month! What a great idea.

The teddy bears that are part of the Teddy Bear of the Month club are tested by "teddy bear experts" which are around the age of 11. What a cool job!  The teddy bears are beautifully-crafted, made with premium materials
and have been carefully chosen for their cuteness, friendliness, and
extreme hug-ability.  Only the best teddy bears are accepted into the Teddy Bear of the Month program. Parents (or the gift giver) can choose to purchase a 3 month, 6 month, 1 year plan, or a Teddy Bear of the Season. The gift giver can also choose which month to start the subscription.

Teddy Bear Facts:
The teddy bears are all between 12" and 15".
Only the best teddy bears are accepted into the program.
Each month a new seasonally themed teddy bear is delivered to your door.
Each teddy bear arrives with care and feeding instructions.

With the prices being extremely affordable, I think this is an awesome holiday gift idea!

Add a touch of whimsy to your baby’s nursery with a beautiful 3 inch tall ‘tiny tiara’ from TinyTiara.com.

I love Madelyn’s pink tiara. It arrived beautifully displayed on a satin pillow inside an acrylic cube.  It adds such a cute, whimsical touch to her nursery. Everyone that visits Madelyn’s nursery notices her tiara and comments on how beautiful it is.

The tiny tiara is approximately 3 inches tall. The tiny tiara is not a toy as it is made from fragile glass. Each piece is unique and makes the perfect gift for the special little princess in your life. Tiny Tiara hasn’t forgotten about the boys! The prince in your life can have his very own "Charming Crown" to display in his nursery.

These are a great, affordable gift for the babies in your life.

A Tiny Tiara is a great gift for expecting moms! With pink, blue, and clear color choices, these make a great gift for expecting parents who know or who don’t know if they are having a baby boy or girl.  Choose a clear tiara for those who have chosen not to find out the sex of their baby.
