Awesome children's book!

If, like me, you're a lover of beautiful illustrations and children's books then you will go nilly when you see my new favourite called "The Secret Lives Of Princesses" by Philippe Lechermeier with illustrations by Rebecca Dautremer. All I will say is WOW-WOW-WEE-WOW! The concepts behind the various characters are priceless and super cute and will have you smiling from ear to ear at pure bliss.

The book aims at "discovering the unusual, outrageous and fascinating royal ladies" and introduces us to the fascinating world of princesses. "Everyone knows about Cinderella, Snow White, and other fairy tale favourites. But there are many princesses who have been so well hidden, most of us never heard of them....The Secret Lives of Princesses is a treasure trove of incredible behind-the-scenes stories that reveal the secret lives of the world’s most mysterious princesses. Not your typical princess story, this gorgeous collection offers a fun, sophisticated and witty alternative to ordinary tales and delights the eye with its lush, exotic art and a bold, vivid design."

I'm LOVING this!

These "time out" chairs are SUPER AWESOME!!! The concept is both playful and practical and when I have kids one day I'll be scouting for one of these. No negotiating as to "how much longer", simply look for yourself ha ha ha!

On the site they have the following to say...
Sometimes it's just too hard to punish your kids because they're so darn cute! However, our time out stool may have them volunteering. The hourglass is filled with white sand to time approximately five minutes, so you'll know exactly when their time out has expired. The base is made of durable mango wood. Not a toy. For children only with adult supervision. Maximum weight is 150 lbs.

Bed Topping Anyone?

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the range of bedding from "Bed Toppings"!
On their site they say that... "Bed toppings are designed to make the wonderful world of sleep as fun as possible. When kids go to bed happy they are more likely to have sweet dreams and sleep through the night!"

I'm sure you'll agree that this is SUPER COOL - wish I was a kid again!
Make sure to check out their range!
