These giant stuffed toys are too unique. The super cuddly bear that we have is FLUFFY!!  The company is UglySnuglies but I think these are so cute. My kids are so in love with this bear.  UglySnuglies come in several animals with different "secrets".  Our panda bear has a secret zipper pouch that holds a blanket ( size 36x48in)that is just as soft as the animal.  There are: 1. Unique Unicorn- has an alarm clock 2. Rowdy Rabbit- radio inside 3. Krazy Kitty- has a light in its tail 4. Bizarre Bear- has 5 secret pockets 5. Pouty Pig- is a piggy bank 6. Maniac Monkey- has a hidden backpack  Each of these cuddly animals are normally $29.95 with $6.95 in shipping but right now you can save 25% with code SAVE which makes the animal $22.46.  On Amazon.com you can purchase these for $29.95 with $4.95 shipping. http://www.amazon.com/Ugly-Snuglies-Porky-Panda/dp/B016H0RL58/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1448832311&sr=8-3&keywords=ugly+snuglies Chr...

Sleepy Bear Book by Nadia Garnier

Image
I loved this book, from the moment I took it out of the shipping envelope. The front cover, alone, made me fall in love. You just want to cuddle Sleepy. Marisol, is the only child in her town of Hush and Slumber, that doesn't have a living Teddy Bear of her own. All the other elfin children have at least 1, some have more. In Hush and Slumber everyone celebrates birthdays together. For Marisol's 7th birthday her papa surprises her with 1. Sleepy is her rare living teddy bear. This bear was not only rare but she found out that her mother, who had passed away when she was a baby, went the long journey to find him.  The gift was from both her parents. How much more special can you get!  Sleepy is so comfortable with Marisol that she sleeps all the time.  Each of the children have little elf ears. The colors are bright and will definitely keep your child's attention.  You can purchase this book for $16.95  http://www.amazon.com/Sleepy-Bear-Nadia-Garnier-e...

Febreze In Wash Odor Eliminator

Image
Dogs can be stinky. So can cats. Febreze says Bring the Stink. Bring on Sweat, pet odor, smoke or mildew. I hate when my kids leave clothes in the wash too long. It happens more often then not. I can now combat that with Febreze's newest product. This in wash odor eliminator. Just pour in your laundry detergent, like normal, then add in the recommended amount of Febreze and start your wash. How happy does it make you to have fresh smelling clothes? I love it! I hate coming home from the in laws, after holidays. We all smell like ash trays. It is going to be nice to come home and toss in the wash and not have to repeatedly wash. Just 1 wash and smell gone. We have athletic kids and the smell is gone. Sweat is seriously a stench after a boy runs the football field! We love Febreze!

Autism and the Holiday Caos- How To Lesson the Breakdowns

The coming holiday season is a joyful time of year that brings together families and friends. However, it can also be quite stressful – especially for those who have a child with autism. With that in mind, FirstPath Autism http://www.firstpathautism.com would like to offer up tips to help handle everything from holiday party meltdowns to stress that can arise from schedule changes and holiday travels. While compiled for those with an autistic child in their lives, many of the tips work just as well for all families. SCHEDULE CHANGES AND TRAVEL 1. Prepare for changes in home and school routines. The holidays mean that your family’s usual routine shifts, and that causes disruption for everyone, including your child. Much as children may look forward to the season of celebrations, they may not understand that it involves trade-offs too. For example, having a holiday pageant at school may mean that their favorite art class is cancelled for the day. Be sure to discuss these change...

A Very Merry Christmas Prayer

Image
We try to teach our kids to be thankful for everything and anything. This is such a thankless world. A Very Merry Christmas Prayer is just that. It starts out with "Here's My Merry Christmas Prayer" Each page is different things to pray and thank God for. Such cute pictures. Although the pages made me cold, they all have snow on them. Brrrr This 24 page board book is unique in design. The front cover is a bunch of winter dressed animals who are putting up the tree. The right side of the book is cut to look like the side of the tree. So unique. Our little girl loves to rub the design. It is wonderful to teach our children about all the things that God has done. Christmas isn't just about gifts, it's about the birth of Jesus. Enjoy the Wonder of Christmas With A Thankful Heart You can purchase this book from Amazon for $7.06 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0718030532?keywords=a%20very%20merry%20christmas%20prayer&pebp=1448028912885&peri...

Stuff4Tots Crib Mattress Pad

Image
This Crib Mattress Pad is super soft. It is nice to be able to protect our crib mattress while keeping our little one comfortable and dry. Our littlest has sensory processing disorder. She is very particular about the sheet material and her blankets. I was a little worried putting this on her crib. I think that she liked the fluffier feel to her mattress. She snuggled in like she was on a pillow. Now when I say this don't expect like a down comforter. But it is a much softer feel. If our little girl takes a sippy cup of water with her to nap and it drips a little, I do not have to worry about her waking up soaked. While being a "fluffy" cover, it does not mean that your child will get to warm. Although with it being winter that might not be so bad. But it is a breathable cotton. 200 thread count and BPA free. Safe for your child to snuggle on top of each night. Very easy to put on. You don't have to do a lot of stretching and huffing. This goes on with...
