    Best Books for Bedtime

    Posted November 24, 2008 by kim

    While reading bedtime stories to my two children for the past twelve years, I’ve found a few favorites which I think you’ll also enjoy. After a warm bath, get your child cozy with a stuffed friend like this teddy and start the stories…

    There’s just something about a stuffed animal that makes bedtime so much easier.

                                                                

    Yellow Dotty Super Teddy handmade by Anne of Murdock Designs.

    The classic Boynton board book will get them in the mood with silly text and pictures…

    Another great Boynton book that I can still recite by heart is…

    moo  Moo, Baa, La La La! $0.25

    I personally love the rhyming text of Sheep in a Jeep: $4.90…

    For kids who are a little older, Shel Silverstein is a favorite. (This is actually the first book my sister learned to read.)

    treeThe Giving Tree 40th Anniversary Edition Book w/CD: $7.54

    Now that they are pre-teens, the boys still enjoy a bedtime story, but for individual reading, if you are shopping for a boy, they highly recommend this Star Wars book…

    yodaThe Complete Visual Dictionary of Star Wars: $21.40

    And once they are snuggled in their beds, you can snuggle up with a carton of ice cream. Keep your hands warm with this ice cream cozy, handmade by Rachel of Vintage Songbird.

                                                               

    P.S. If you enjoy reading blogs, Rachel has her own which you can read here.

    My Favorite Babies’ & Kids’ Costumes

    Every October I LOVE to check out the latest babies’ & kids’ costumes online. The costume designers are so creative and really make it easy on parents to choose an adorable costume for their little ones. My absolute favorite costumes I’ve come accross this year online are the following:

                                 Bunting Chili Costume      

                                         Bunting Costume: $20                      Infant Walker Costume: $24.99

    This “Red Hot Chili” costume is very unique and the costume designer kept in mind the age range of children this would work for because they can’t walk just yet. On the right, is a style for a tab bit older babies who are able to walk, but it doesn’t look quite as cute as the one on the left. It isn’t clear exactly what the costume is. It could pass for a strawberry, tomato, etc.

                                                    Baby Tootsie Roll Costume

    Tootsie Roll Costume: $24.95

    This “Tootsie Roll” costume is funny & cute. I want to pinch this baby’ fat little cheeks!

                                                  Humpty Dumpty Costume

    Humpty Dumpty Costume: $29.99

    This “Humpy Dumpty” costume is hillarious, but seems like it would be uncomfortable for a child to wear for a long period of time:

                                                  Princess Leia Costume

    Princess Leia Costume: $26.99

    This “Princess Leia” costume is great for all you Star Wars fanatics who want to pass down your obsession to your children:

                                                                               Go Fish Baby Costume

    Go Fish Costume: $14.99

    This “Go Fish” costume is adorable. Well, I don’t know what is more adorable. The baby model who knew to pose with a fish face or the costume itself.
