The bedroom is the one place in the home that you should be able to relax and sleep without much interruption.

Hello to the Present

This present scenario may be familiar: you survey your home, and to be frank?  It’s a mess.  You trip over someone’s unwanted My Little Pony on the way to the door, and pass a small mountain of shoes piled up by the doorway, when they haven’t been in frequent enough use.  On top of that, there are some extra items scattered everywhere for extra fun: some building blocks that your youngest has grown out of and refuses to play with any more, or the sad stuffed toy that was rejected as a valid gift by your daughter because it was ‘too childish’.  It’s definitely time to tidy up.  And you know the perfect place to put them – what else is an attic for, after all?  But when you wrench open the door, you notice something startling. Something a little alarming. The attic is already full.

John Lewis Microfibre Anti Allergy Duvet

Can you believe that the Summer is nearly over and it is September now! It is getting colder and some people have already put their heating back on. Now it is time to put away the summer tog duvet and swap in the autumn/winter! This John Lewis’s Microfibre Anti Allergy Duvet came just at the right time!  This duvet is 25% lighter than standard hollow fibre. It is made from 80% microfibre, 20% Amicor™ duvet with 200 thread count cotton cover. It is very soft and comfortable to touch. I’m amazed at how light it is yet it still keeps us warm all night.

Me and my Bubbaroo Joey Swag

Many parents will have heard about Sudden Infants Death Syndrome (SIDS). To reduce the risk, babies should sleep with their face uncovered (no duvets, doonas, pillows, lambs wool, bumpers or soft toys). Personally, I think having a baby in the sleeping bag will reduce the risk. Hence, Mr K has been using his sleeping bag since he was three months old and even now he is still loves to wear his sleeping bag.  Sleeping in a sleeping bag makes him feel very secure and keeps him warm at all times. He’ll wear his sleeping bag through all seasons and we can only prise it off him during the hottest summer evenings (read: rarely!).

It is only recently I came across Bubbaroo through Twitter. Bubbaroo was born when founder Nicole Casey decided to design her own range of functional and stylish sleepwear after trying to find a suitable product to swaddle her first child Jacob. Currently Bubbaroo’s range includes the Joey Pouch Swaddling Bag, Joey Swag Sleep Bag Range, Bubbaroo Blankie, Joey Plush Toy and Baby Face washers.
