Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are once again the rage. I remember when I was little, my favourite show of all time was the TMNT. To be honest they have always held a special place in my heart. When my boys made me aware they were making a come back I was almost as excited as they were. Due to their increasing popularity, the TMNT merchandise available is expanding and now includes TMNT Pillow Pets Dream Lites.

If your kids didn’t like Pillow Pets before they sure will now. These are smaller than your standard Pillow Pet making them a great item for all ages and a product to keep in mind with Christmas coming up. The TMNT Pillow Pets Dream Lites are available in each of the turtles characters: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello. We have Leonardo (the blue one) and Poppet loves it! We turn it on at night time and she watches the starry ceiling before falling asleep. B1 and B2 love it as well because you can choose which colour stars you want on have it set to  or rotate between them automatically. I love that there is a timer option with the TMNT Pillow Pets Dream Lites because it saves me having to replace the batteries everyday when the kids forget to turn it off (I think all of the Pillow Pets Dream Lites have this option).

This would make the perfect addition to a childs’ room if they are scared of the dark as it emits a soft glow but one that is calming and magical. Like all Pillow Pets these can be folded or laid flat making them a great toy during the day and soft and comforting at night. They are so soft but are built to be loved. You can purchase them from Big W for $29.99 or on the Pillow Pets website.
*If purchasing for Christmas – don’t forget the batteries.

For all the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fans, I have shared some great TMNT pizza topping ideas that will have your kids saying ‘Cowabunga Dude’!

You have probably been hearing a lot about Pillow Pets from your little ones for a while now about how great they are and how all their friends have them. Well I have anyway! My boys never actually got to experience the original Pillow Pet; you know the one that is a pet and opens up to be a soft pillow?

 They have been lucky enough however to enjoy the NEW Pillow Pet Dream Lites. I must say besides the fact that the kids can’t actually use them as pillows they are pretty awesome! You turn them on and they light up the room into a starry sky by projecting images onto the walls and ceiling. It also has the comforting glow of a night light for little ones which may benefit you if your child is scared of the dark.

There is a 20 minute timer option as well so you don’t have to remember to turn it off; this is one of my favourite features. You can also choose from 3 soothing colours (amber, blue and green) or you can have it on automatic rotate where it swaps between the colours.

My kids are big fans of Pillow Pets – Dream Lites and being as soft and great quality as they are means they are a winner for me as well. I highly recommend them if you have a little one that is scared of the dark or likes to have that extra glow in their rooms. Even just for some extra fun on the weekends or sleepovers they are great! Well worth their money.

They retail for approx. $30 and have a range of pets to choose from. Snuggly Puppy, Tardy Turtle, Pink Butterfly, Zippity Zebra, Ms. Lady Bug, Jolly Giraffe, Playful Penguin & Rainbow Unicorn.

Every new parent knows the value of a good night sleep and will do whatever they can to assist this. I was very fortunate with my boys as they both slept extremely well at night, with the exclusion of waking up for a feed they pretty much slept through.

I am expecting this baby (due in 40 days) to be the complete opposite or at least that is what I am preparing myself for. I couldn’t be lucky enough to get 3 great sleepers surely! As you can see I’m under no illusions that all babies sleep well. With this in mind I have heard from mums of not so settled sleepers that babies often sleep better if they can hear mums heartbeat (I was even told when my first son was born to put a clock under the cot because the tick tocking resembles the heart beat), if there is a little night light in the room as reassurance, mums shirt nearby for the smell. Did any of these work for you?

This time I am armed with the new Miomee Musical Night Light. This little beauty has compacted everything you could need to keep bub calm during sleep time into one amazing piece of gadgetry! It is sleek, portable and so much more than just a night light; it’s genius. This product has the ability to sooth babies with comforting sounds of mums’ heartbeat, sounds of nature or a gentle melody and the option to play them continuously or set a 15 or 30 minute timer.

You can choose between 2 glowing colours. Pink – which simulates a mothers warmth and the sleepy dusk light & Blue – which creates a calm and tranquil sleeping environment with a serene blue ambience. It activates automatically when your baby cries and is chargeable with a power source that lasts approx. 7 hours. I love that it has so many functions – 3 sounds, 2 light colours, 2 timer settings and you can also choose whether you want light and sounds or light only. The glow is bright enough that you can see if you need to but doesn’t wake the babies or kids up.

I am a huge fan of how sleek the design is and how easy it is to use. It really caters for both parents and babies and with the light being portable it makes it easy to do middle of the night bed/cot transfers of babies and kids.

You can purchase it online at: miomee.com.au
RRP: $79.95
