Coming from one VERY sleep deprived mom I can highly recommend this product. My daughter really was the perfect sleeper except for one thing, she woke every night at 3am, like clockwork. She went down no problem at 8pm and would sleep till 8 or 9am but this middle of the night wake up call was getting to me after 2 years. I was pregnant with my 2nd and desperately searching for something that would solve our issue. I came across this, The Cloud b Twilight Turtle.

The Cloud b Twilight Turtle is the first plush constellation nightlight ever created, transforms any room into a starry night sky (and it really does work) to help comfort children to sleep. From within his plastic shell, Twilight Turtle projects a magical constellation of stars onto bedroom ceiling and walls in three soothing color options. Twilight Turtles shell illuminates like a nightlight to help ease children's fear of the dark.

This interactive and educational toy includes eight actual constellations (such as The Big Dipper) embedded in the star pattern. Parents can sit with their children and identify these major constellations using the wonderfully illustrated Twilight Turtle Star Guide. Twilight Turtle helps make bedtime fun for children of all ages.

My daughter was easily able to turn it on at bedtime and pick her color of choice. We then would have a little sing-along to Twinkle Twinkle (thank goodness someone thinks I'm a good singer) and then off I went. When the middle of the night wakeup call would arise instead she would turn on her turtle and not a peep. I on the other hand still continued to have my 3am wakeups, I guess after 2 years of it, it was going to take some time to break the habit. Maybe I should of invested in another Twilight Turtle for myself.

Now they also make Twilight Ladybug an adorable option to the Twillight Turtle.

Well lunch time around my house was getting, lets say, boring. Boring for me to make and I think boring for my daughter to eat. I mean, how many creative ways are there to make a sandwich?

One day, on my frequent window shopping trips I came across the Palette Plate by Skip*Hop. Right away I was attracted to the bright colors and the cool unique design. I picked one up and rushed home to prepare my pumpkin her "new" lunch. I cut up some chunks of pepper, cucumbers, olives & cheese and tossed them into their own individual cups. Threw in some whole grain crackers in the plate section and added her favorite drink. Well it was a hit!

My pumpkin loved how everything had it's own spot and it was filled with some of her favorite finger foods. I loved that once it was placed on the table that was where it remained thanks to the skid proof bottom. Also the shape makes it difficult for little hands to pick up so that was an added bonus. The great thing was once she was done eating I could snap the lids onto the containers and them right in the fridge stacked for a later snack.

The Palette Plate comes with:

• Lift-out individual bowls are microwave safe
• Skid-resistant area for cup
• Skid-resistant base
• Mix it up in the big bowl
• Includes three translucent lids for storage
• Matching utensils

You can find the Palette plate and many other great Skip*Hop products at Crocodile Baby.

How much would my daughter love to have the entire Safari collection in her bedroom.

Beetling was created in 2006 by a mom. Kristy was not satisfied with simply painting the space or applying one-dimensional cutouts so she began experimenting with different options to create 3D art. Shortly after Beetling was created. An amazing collection of 3D art made out of an innovative, non-toxic, designer blended foam base. Currently they have 4 series, The Safari, Solar System, Nursery Rhymes & Noah`s Ark. Some of them are a bit pricier but some pieces do start as low as $50.

My personal favorite is the Safari series with 6 foot tall giraffe and her baby, a zebra and trees. These incredible life like creatures would sure to bring a smile to any childs face.

This would look amazing in a child`s bedroom, playgroup space or a daycare.


Price for complete collection is available by request from them.


For the out of this world adventurer there`s the Solar System collection. The solar system with astronaut, provides great detail of all the planets of our solar system along with a very lifelike rendition of our own Beetling Astronaut, comes complete with all the planet names.

Great for the classroom or playroom too!

I think this collection is very resonably priced at just under $500 plus it would suit a young child right up into their teen years.
