Are your little girls crazy about the Disney princesses and characters? Anya isn’t obsessed with them (thankfully!) although she does like some of the characters – I don’t know too many little girls who don’t. But I am not a fan of all those plastic dolls and the synthetic, shiny clothes that come along with them. If you feel the same way then you’ll love these adorable alternatives that I recently came across. These Disney inspired princess cushions are colourful and so cute. They’re a great doll substitute and also double up as sweet little decorations when not being played with. The range isn’t very big at the moment but I’m hoping it will grow soon. So next time I get asked for a fairytale princess doll, I shall be opting for one of these no-plastic, natural ones.
A couple of weeks ago Anya lost her first tooth. I cried. I’m not normally emotional and have always enjoyed watching her grow up. When the baby years passed and she turned in to a toddler, I felt nothing but joy and delight in seeing her grow and develop. But this milestone was different. This milestone felt like my baby was no longer a baby and was really growing up (sob). Where have these five years gone?
I was soon distracted by Anya’s huge excitement right from the moment she realised she had a wobbly tooth. The tooth fairy is something she has desperately been waiting for and wishing everyday that she would lose a tooth for over a year. More than Santa, the tooth fairy has totally captured her imagination. So that night, along with the tooth fairy pillow loaded with cash and tucked under her pillow, I sprinkled some glitter around her bed. That moment of waking up and discovering the tooth had gone from the pillow and finding some money there instead was priceless – the look on her face was pure delight and amazement. She was jumping up and down and shouting ‘the tooth fairy came, the tooth fairy really came’. And the bonus was finding this adorable golden tooth pillow which she loves. Anya may be growing up but she’s still a child full of wonder and imagination and that is something I hope will stay with her for a long time no matter how old she is.
To celebrate this big milestone I wanted to do something special. So I partnered with Oeuf NYC to give one lucky reader the chance to win this adorable handmade golden tooth fairy pillow. Oeuf kindly sent one for Anya and there’s one for one of you too. The tooth is made of soft baby alpaca wool and has a little pocket at the back to put money in. Anya loves her tooth and has been sleeping with it under her pillow every night since she got it. And I have to agree – it’s so sweet. Oeuf’s tooth fairy pillow is the original and the best and so it had to be this one. Have your kids lost a tooth yet? How did you feel with the first one?

I’m a huge fan of cushions for both kids and grown up spaces. I love how easily cushions can transform any room. And in a kids room they bring lots of colour and lots of fun as they often double up as playthings too. Here are 6 of the best kids cushions that are around at the moment:
It was the name – Beanie on Helina – that first got my attention. It’s such an unusual name for a shop. I discovered a stylish and sweet world of cushions that include clouds, houses and raindrops. Beanie on Helina is a Finnish shop by Kaisa Erkkila and you can totally see the stylish Scandinavian vibe. The name is inspired by a story Kaisa’s dad told her when she was a kid about a temperamental little girl who wore a beanie. In addition to cushions, Beanie on Helina also offers some cool home wares like cloud pot holders (which would also look nice on a kids room wall), pouches and jewelry.
Whoever sleeps on these goodnight pillows is going to have the sweetest dreams, don’t you think? The pillows look so peaceful with their soft colours and doze-y expressions. I’m loving this (sleepy) sweetness from Colette Bream.
