Thilde Pocket and Pillow

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Age 5-7, Bedtime, Nursery & Room Decor, Toys

ThildeParents are well aware that baby shouldn’t sleep with toys, books, or stuffed animals in her crib so what is baby to play with when she wakes in the morning? The toys in her Thilde Pocket, of course!

The Thilde Pocket is 100% cotton denim fabric with lots of little pockets in which parents can stash baby’s favorite toys and books for easy access when she wakes in the morning.  Maybe, just maybe the Thilde Pocket will allow mom and dad to get a little extras sleep in the morning while baby is playing in her crib?!    The Thilde Pocket fastens to the crib with Velcro so baby can’t pull it off and can be fastened to a chair when baby grows out of the crib.

If your baby likes to touch and feel everything around her, she will
love the Thilde pillow.  Great for tactile stimulation the Thilde pillow is colorful, has texture, and makes a light crinkling noise when manipulated. 

Both products are a bit pricey but should last for many years so the cost is well worth it.

These products are Madelyn approved!

SoundSpa™ Lullaby – a must have

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Bedtime, Gadgets, Music, Nursery & Room Decor

HomedicssoundspalullabyI LOVE LOVE LOVE this gadget!
The HoMedics SoundSpa™ Lullaby is a small device that projects rotating images onto baby’s ceiling or wall and plays a variety of relaxing sounds or songs. 

First and foremost, the sound quality is amazing.  Never have I tested a baby device with such clear and ‘real’ sound.

When Madelyn goes to bed I turn the projector on, play Twinkle Twinkle and set the timer to 45 minutes.  The projector brightness can be set to high or low and the volume is completely adjustable.   Homedicscloseup_2Other options include no projection, playing a sound effect instead of a song, different timer settings, and adjustable projection location. 
Changing options is as easy as pushing a button on top of the device or adjusting a dial on the side of the device.

Click the image to the left to view a close up of the controls.

Sounds and sound effects include Twinkle, Twinkle, Rock-A-Bye-Baby, Lullaby and Goodnight, rain, ocean, and a heartbeat.  Priced at just $29, this is a must have!

Ooh, la la!  Take a look at this french vintage print Tralala Rose Lace Swing Jacket Set.  How cute is it? Madelyn transformed into a gorgeous princess when I put the Tralala
outfit on her and she knew it. I didn’t take photographs because the
outfit is a little large on her and the photograph wouldn’t do the
outfit justice. Table Five Designs carries this whimsical toddler outfit as well as aparell for infants all the way up to age 6 and for both girls and boys. 

Angela Clemente, owner of Table Five Designs, chooses the finest items to feature in her store.You will find all types of goodies including children’s apparel, high-end furniture, designer wall
clocks, wall art, picture frames, silver, drapery, lighting, diaper
bags, burp clothes, bibs, luxury play houses and more.

Oh, you should check out the $36,000 playhouse
while you are there.  If you don’t have that much in the bank, I’m sure you can hold off on groceries for 10 or so years.  These playhouses are such a great idea for the right family with a large yard.

Baby’s Quiet Sounds™ Color Handheld Video Monitor

Electronics, Gadgets, Nursery & Room Decor

Infantsummer_video1Even when I take the kids to my mother’s house, I bring Madelyn’s monitor. When I leave her in a room alone, I want to know if she is awake or asleep, playing or crying.  A monitor is simply a necessity in my life.  My mother on the other hand, didn’t use a monitor when I was a baby 30 something years ago which blows my mind.

Now that I have used this video monitor for a few weeks, I can’t imagine going back to using a ‘regular’ monitor.  This video monitor produces an excellent picture both day and night. During the day the picture is full color and at night the picture is black and white and still very clear.  The camera tilts down and around and can be mounted on a wall, or it can sit on a dresser.  Additional camera’s and monitors can be purchased which is great if you have a playroom you want to monitor.  This video monitor has a 350 foot range which I love because I take it all throughout the house and even outside while she is napping and still get great reception.

Rechargeable batteries are included and last up to 10 hours when not plugged in.

This video monitor has tons of other features including a video on/off button, headphone jack, LED sound lights, a belt clip and a stand for portability. But that’s not all.  You can learn more about this video monitor at the Summer Infant website.

Handmade minkee chenille toddler pillow

Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Baby & Kids Clothing, Bedtime, Nursery & Room Decor, Personalized

DillyheartspillowEven though Madelyn isn’t old enough to have a pillow in her crib, she loves to have a soft pillow close by when tiddling around the house.  When I received this pillow, before I even touched it, I thought it looked like the best pillow ever.  Then, I touched it… Wow!! 
Dilly Hearts minkee toddler pillows are so soft, I wanted to lay down on it myself and I did. I felt a little bad  They are just the right size for your toddler to snuggle with, or lay down on while you are reading her stories.  Additional colors and
textures are available by custom order.  Have your child’s pillow customized with her name on it to make it a treasure she will share with her children.

I am going to post a photograph of Madelyn’s personalized minkee pillow soon.  We accidentally left it at Grandmother’s house which she is not happy about!  She loves her minkee pillow.

Dilly Hearts minkee toddler pillow cases are 100% polyester and are machine
washable. Pillow forms measure 12×16, are a 65% poly/35% cotton blend
and contain non-allergenic poly-fil.

Recommended for ages 2 and up. These and other pillows are not
intended for infants and should never be used in a crib.
