I never thought I'd need a blackout blind! My daughter was a great sleeper, and the light never bothered her when she was a baby. Toddler stage hit us and I was so wrong, she has been up at 6:30am on weekends when we don't need to be up early! This h...

This has been a great addition to my daughters bedroom, especially since the blackout blind can make it confusing when it's night and morning. This shows my daughter if she wakes up too early, it's still nighttime. She likes to tell me in the morning...

I wasn't ready till my daughter was about 2.5 years old to transition to a duvet. I think it was more me than her, I didn't want her to grow out of her sleep sacks yet. She already had a flat pillow from about 2 years, but I got this duvet and an ext...

My daughter loves this routine reward chart. We don't overly use the morning one, but the night one is great. This helped us shift her focus, when she went through a phase of trying to delay bedtime and carry on playing... So simple, but effective!

I'll be honest. I always thought the Toniebox wasn't for us. I thought they were a lot of hype, but then my daughter took a lot of interest in our friends, and so I got her one for Christmas when she was 3. She loves it! Right now, she's really into...

I got my daughter this for her 2nd birthday. She loves it. She loves all her teddies, so to add one that lights up, plays lullabies, and that she can cuddle too, was a big hit! It is really lovely.
