Who’s afraid of the dark???

December 9, 2012 by Leave a Comment

 

Here is Banjo all geared up for ‘Light the Night 2013’ (annual fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society) and it doesn’t start until September:

But he’s ready.  Fired up.  He’s got his game face on and he’s ready to take on that 2 mile walk!

Doesn’t it appear that he’s the bravest little kid you know?  He’s not afraid of anything, right?  Wrong.  Lately Banjo has been complaining about being afraid of the dark.  At first we thought he was just trying to get out of going to bed on time.  Making excuses for why he just needed to stay up later.  However, it has continued to the point that we have now accepted that the fear is real.  Fortunately for us we were given this fantastic night light (compliments of the people at Sunset Dimmer) several months ago.  If you have a kiddo afraid of the dark then you gotta get one.  It’s a really life saver!

Hook it up to your child’s lamp, set the timer for 30 minutes and it will slowly dim.  During that time your child will adjust to the night time light and fall asleep before the light goes completely off.  It’s a great solution to help ease a child into the dark.

Plus, with the Sunset Dimmer  you can place a lamp on a timer when you are going out of town.  Then people will think you are home when you are not!  We always like to do this when we leave town.  It just gives us this added sense of security.

Thanks Sunset Dimmer for creating a product that has more than just one use!

{Giveaway} Lalaloopsy ***ENDED***

September 5, 2011 by 124 Comments

When I was a little girl my Nana and Boompa had the best toy box at their house.  They kept it always so I would have something to play with at their house and my parents wouldn’t have to worry about dragging toys over there for me.  My grandparents only had boys, so these weren’t the typical toys that had been around their house for ages.  They had to actually find girl types of toys for me to play with.  Nana found some really great ones at various yard sales which since it was the 70’s these toys are all majorly retro now!  My favorite was this plastic tree that opened up into a treehouse.  To this day I don’t know where that treehouse ended up and I have no idea who the manufacturer was.  I miss that tree!  At least I have the good memories, right?  Well, a little while ago Lalaloopsy sent me the Mini Lalaloopsy Treehouse Playset:

It’s the most adorable treehouse playset and totally made me think of that old retro one I played with as a child.  Thanks Lalaloopsy for bringing back that really wonderful, fond memory!  

Remember last week how Lalaloopsy was featured?  So you already know just how cute the dolls all are.  Lalaloopsy doesn’t just have the larger dolls, but they also have the cutest mini doll collection!  Have a look:

 

 

Told you they were cute!  There are actually so many more styles of mini dolls at Lalaloopsy!

And what’s being given away this time around from Lalaloopsy???  Why it’s that spectacular treehouse playset of course!
