Jaya Loves Tekeko Pillows Add Japanese Whimsy to Nursery

LilSugar — Fri, 15 May 2009 04:00:06 -0700

The absolutely adorable all-organic pillows created by Jaya Loves Tekeko take on a life of their own when placed on your sofa or scattered throughout the nursery. Created by a Miami-based mom who named her company after her two tots, the pillows are made from a bamboo and cotton blend with a cotton shell on the kapok insert. Using water-based inks, the six designs showcase Japanese and modern characters worked into natural settings. By far my favorite of the bunch is the "eggboy design" with its little bandage. Unfortunately, each pillow sets a mama back a pretty penny ($62), but that doesn't mean we can't wish!

Pregnancy Pillows: Simple or Swank

Getting a good night's sleep when your belly is growing is not the easiest task to accomplish. Having a pregnancy pillow can make all the difference by giving your tummy the support and comfort it deserves.

Simple: Personally tested and approved, the $8 pillow from Target has been a cuddly pleasure. For the same price as lunch, I couldn't ask for more.
Swank: Mamas who crave a lil more structure and versatility may cozy up to the $50 Snoogle. Moms can enjoy snuggling up to the polyester cushion during pregnancy and use it for breastfeeding support once the baby arrives.

If you've got a musician in the making, there are some plush pillows that will rock your tot to sleep. The Guitar and Boombox Pillows ($24 - $29) from Pottery Barn Kids are crafted from soft cotton corduroy and accented with silver percale appliqués. Made for topping children's beds or of serving as a place for them to lay their heads, these soft pillows are perfect for the pint-sized set.

Pillow Bear: Ga Ga or Gag?

The Pillow Bear ($435) is just what its name suggests: part teddy bear, part pillow.

You can transition from snuggle time to nap time by releasing the 100 percent cashmere bear's tie-front closure and turning the bear's arms into a pillow.

Is the luxurious toy meets sleeping device worth the hefty price?

I adore Boodalee's simple throw pillows, $42, which come with a special eco-friendly coinsert made of fiber spun from corn.

Each pillow has two mod and colorful graphics - one on the front and one on the back. Next all you need are a couple cute vases of fresh flowers and you'll have everyone feeling green.

Pimp Your Crib: Artwork on a Pillow

Beautiful pillows can be the perfect accent to any room, but if your kids' creations adorn them, that will brighten your surroundings and their smiles. We told you how you could wear your children's designs around your neck, but now you can rest your pretty lil head on them, too.

Submit your child's masterpiece to Deseta where they will translate the image onto a charming pillow. Make sure it's your favorite piece because it's not cheap. It costs about $180 for one of the posh cushions. But, it will be a treasured keepsake for years to come.

Lil Find: Oeuf Tooth Fairy Pillow

LilSugar — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 12:00:20 -0800

The anticipation of how much shiny change the tooth fairy will leave and the process of preparing for her visit has always struck me as one of the most precious family traditions.

If you haven't committed to a fancy inscripted tooth fairy box consider this Oeuf Tooth Fairy Pillow (on sale for $20). The knit pillow molar has a tiny pocket on the back where you can slip your lil one's deposit to the tooth fairy, and because of its U-shape it also makes a great plane and transit pillow.

Pimp Your Crib: Elle and Evans Nursery Pillows

babysugar — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 06:00:25 -0800

I have given many nursery pillows for "welcoming baby" gifts, but none as cute as these from Elle and Evans. Each pillow is made with fine dupioni silk, filled with down feathers, and can be monogrammed for $58. These fabulous pillows are appropriate for both boys and girls and can go along with modern and shabby chic themed rooms.

We know that infants aren't supposed to sleep with pillows, but they are sweet and add the perfect touch to baby's room. And, eventually, the accent finds its place on a bed.

The lush blankets created by Little Giraffe have quickly become a celebrity favorite with Katie Holmes buying them in bulk for Suri Cruise.

This year, the company is introducing tooth fairy pillows for kids in a variety of colors. The faux-fur pillows ($30) are a beautiful addition to a lil one’s bed and may encourage them to give up that tooth as soon as it falls out!

The pillows will be available on the company’s website shortly, or can be purchased at Dream and Little Dream with Me now.

Nursing Pillows That Make Breastfeeding a Breeze

babysugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:30:46 -0700

What did mothers do before all of the posh pleasures of newborn life were introduced to the modern world? Technology and genius inventions have made the life of a mama much easier to manage, even breastfeeding. Where a pillow and a couch were the only accessories a mom once needed, she can now sit in the lap of luxury with a plush nursing cushion that adjusts to her specifications and even has a pouch to hold her nipple cream and water. Some offer a separate layer to adjust the child's positioning while others turn into lounge chairs for the wee ones. While any woman could get by with her own two arms and her babe, it makes the lactating world a more pleasant place to be when mommy can rest easily.

Fair warning, I've heard of certain men taking control of these tools of motherhood for their football watching frenzies on Saturday afternoons and turning the pouch into a beer and remote control apparatus.
