Baby Pajamas for Better Baby Sleep and Buying Online

Posted on by mimin

You want to make sure the baby pajamas you choose are best for sleep, comfort, and, most importantly, your baby’s safety.

Baby Pajamas Sizes

Your baby’s pajamas should not be too large or loose-fitting. Although you know your baby will be growing fast, avoid the temptation to buy two sizes too large expecting her to fit in them in the next couple of months. You want your baby’s pajamas to fit snugly, but not be so tight that it cuts off circulation, either.

Keep in mind, when you choose pajama sizes, that there may be times where you have a onesie underneath and, of course, a diaper (until your baby is potty trained). Most types of baby pajamas will be sized according to your baby’s weight, however, I found that many times pajamas shrink after you wash them, depending on the material. Therefore, even if I bought the “right” size, the pajamas would be too small within a short time thereafter. Similar to buying your own clothing, keep in mind shrinkage. I personally found that baby pajamas tends to shrink more than regular baby clothing, so you may want to buy one size up and

What materials make the Best Pajamas?

Posted on by mimin

Ok, perhaps calling your sleepwear “jammies” is more of a little kid thing, but as long as they do the job, who cares what you call them? What material your sleepwear is made of is by far the most important factor in comfort. These fabrics will be sure to give you such a nice sleep that you will end up wanting to wear them the whole day. If you have a job where you work from home; that is exactly what you will do. If you don’t, you’ll wish you did. Check out this list for the materials that make the best pajamas:

Flannel–It’s not just for lumberjacks these days!
Why should you choose flannel? Here’s a few reasons why: it is usually made from cotton, but can also be made from wool; it’s just so dang comfortable; it’s thick and insulated, making it super warm; it’s breathable, attempting to prevent overheating; machine washing isn’t a problem; and lastly, it’s really strong and durable.

Silk–Yes, it comes from a worm…an amazing little worm.
A little fancier than flannel is silk. Now to list some of its most tempting properties: soft, soft, and even more softness; it’s the strongest

Pancakes and Pajamas Theme Birthday Party

Posted on by mimin

Including my own girls, this party maxed out at seven little girls. We live in a smaller, 1970s colonial, so allowing Natalie to invite every child from her class just wasn’t going to work.

She invited five friends, and they each wore their favorite cozy pajamas! They had the most fun playing in our dress up trunk and putting on fashion shows.

Party Decorations and Food:
I bought some standard party decor from our local Hobby Lobby so that I could reuse them for future parties.

The cake was from the grocery store, and I didn’t serve ice cream because of all the sugar from breakfast. Drinks were water, orange juice, or milk. We used my mother-in-law’s mini mason jars for cups with cute purple and white chevron paper straws. Also served were fresh fruit, vanilla yogurt, and granola. Sides were dished out from a vintage tea cart I got from my Nannie’s house a few years ago. We also had whipped cream, flavored pancake syrups, chocolate syrup, classic maple syrup…and frozen pancakes from the store.

Favors:
Favors were the most adorable pajama cookies from a local baker. She was even kind enough to deliver them to my door when I told her I

How To Keep A Baby or Toddler Warm At Night

Posted on by mimin

Do you have something you constantly worry or obsess about with your kids?

As a mother I’ve found myself to be pretty obsessive about a couple of things. Making sure my kids are warm at night is one of them. I’m ALWAYS worried that they aren’t warm enough at night as they sleep.

This means as I’m settling down for the night under my warm blanket, I worry that my kids are freezing and miserable.

Then I can’t go to sleep because I’m worried about them.

As if I didn’t have enough things keeping me up in the night!

To help spare you the worry (and perhaps save some sleep!) I’ve complied a list of tips to help make sure your little ones stay warm at night.

How To Keep Babies And Toddlers Warm At Night

One Piece Fleece Pajamas

Hands down one piece fleece pajamas are the best and most versatile way to keep your kids warm all night. Since the pajamas are all in one piece you don’t have to worry about the shirt hiking up exposing a cute belly to the “elements”. Also, the built in footies will ensure those little toes will stay warm.

Any one piece fleece pajama set will work but I’m pretty

How to Wear Pajama Shorts Outdoors

Posted on by mimin

“Pajama shorts outside the house?! You must be crazy!” This is perhaps the first thing that popped in your head when you read the title and I don’t blame you. I, too, was surprised to see women starting to wear their pajama shorts (and even pajama pants) with dressy tops. In all fairness, though, this trend is actually quite chic. I love how wearing pajama pants with fancy tops makes the look very laidback and casual. If you’re curious about whether you can pull this trend off or not, I say why not give it a go? Check out these tips on how to wear pajama shorts outdoors, create your own look and see how you like it. It’s definitely tricky but you don’t have to actually step out of the house if you end up not liking it (we don’t advise you to push it either) but if you do end up loving the look, go ahead and proudly march out that door!

Avoid lace – so you like to live fancy sleeping in lace pajamas and all. If you want to wear pajama shorts outside your bedroom (and your house), though, you might want to forgo those lace pajamas

5 Important Tips for People Who Work From Home

Posted on by mimin

Tips for Work-From-Home Productivity

That’s just it, though. Pajamas and sweatpants are made for sleeping and relaxing. One of the most common traps that people who work from home fall into is feeling like it is okay to wear these items to work every day.

Wrong.

Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your work-at-home day. Not wearing your pajamas falls into the first category.

1. Dress for Success

Although it is tempting, trade those sweatpants in for at least a nice pair of jeans. You don’t have to wear a suit and tie to sit in your home office all day, but there is something about dressing in real clothes that makes you more productive. Try it. You’ll be surprised at how different it makes you feel to be presentable even if you are the only person that will see you.

2. Turn Off Electronics

Set your phone on silent and turn off the television. Keep non-work distractions to a minimum and treat that extra-curricular technology just like you would if you were at the office. It would be frowned upon to constantly be checking social media or taking a video game break in the corporate world. It should be unacceptable

The Gross Truth About Washing Your PJs

Posted on by mimin

A recent survey completed by mattress company Ergoflex revealed a stat many people might be nervous to admit out loud: On average, women wear their pajamas 17 nights in a row before laundering them (men are a bit more vigilant; they report an average of two weeks between washings).

Waiting too long to clean is a common housekeeping misstep (seriously, are you washing these grubby spots often enough?), but over-wearing your jammies seems like a nearly harmless offense. Not exactly true:

“Pajamas are against your skin, and you shed skin cells at a vast rate,” Professor Sally Bloomfield of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine told the Daily Mail.

These skin cells could harbor certain microrganisms, continues Bloomfield. Most bacteria isn’t bad for you, but certain types could cause health issues.

“Quite a lot of us carry staphylococcus bacteria, which can cause infections if they get into cuts and bruises,” she says. “We all carry E. Coli bacteria. Most strains aren’t harmful, but if they get into the urinary tract they can cause infection.”

Though the germy consequences are real, they’re easy to avoid. You might only need to make a slight adjustment to your PJ cleaning routine. Carolyn Forte, the director of

Working in your pyjamas? 5 tips for being productive

Posted on by mimin

Working from home is expected to become increasingly prevalent over the coming decades, as is already a commonplace option for small business owners, the self-employed and employees working from home. But unless you are Hugh Hefner, pyjamas may not be the ideal daywear of choice to be productive. Here are five basic tips to stay on top of your game as a home-stationed operator.

1. Equip yourself

Not only does a good workman not blame his tools, he makes certain that he has the most favourable tools for the job at hand.

Are you sitting comfortably? Then we’ll begin. Here’s my number one office equipment tip: do not overlook the importance of a good chair. Ambitious business owners, self-employed workers and work from home employees deserve all the support they can get, and a good quality office chair will provide this in the most literal sense.

Clearly define your workspace, which will ideally comprise a separate room from other common living areas. It should be reasonably spacious, tidy and appropriately well lit. Most business owners or self-employed who work from home today are likely to need a range of office equipment, including effective telephone access and a quality broadband internet connection.

Pyjama birthday party theme

Posted on by mimin

Whether you make it a slumber party, a pyjama party is always a fun party theme! Add some polka dots and it’s even prettier.

Polka dot pyjama party theme invitations

  • Hand delivered mail is quite uncommon, but if the invitees are neighbourhood friends, this is a fun way to invite them – a balloon filled with confetti and a rolled-up invitation inside. They’ll have to pop the balloon to read the invite – but that’s the fun part!

Polka dot pyjama party theme costume ideas

  • Pyjamas are the things to wear, of course! Even better if they’re of the spotted variety! If you wanted to go all out, grab a plain set of PJs and paint polka dots freehand on it.

Polka dot pyjama party theme decorations

  • Cut out a bunch of circles with a circle punch and various coloured card and stick to the walls randomly with masking tape. Or sew together and create a coloured garland. You could also create a garland from felt balls.
  • Big round balloons (Lovely Little Parties has some great huge round balloons) filled with helium and tied to a table or chair.
  • Coloured paper lanterns or tissue-paper pom poms.
  • Using a range of different fabrics or sheets, create cool sleep zone tents

The Enduring Appeal of Pajama Dressing

Posted on by mimin

Not long ago, the practice of wearing pajamas during the day was largely confined to college campuses or the exceptional lifestyles of Hugh Hefner and Julian Schnabel. No longer. Whether it’s a piped silk top, roomy drawstring pants, or a combination of the two, “pajama dressing” has become an unlikely but enduring high fashion trend with half a decade’s worth of staying power now under its belt and little sign of waning.

Indeed, designer Marc Jacobs — whose three Fall 2013 shows (for his signature collection, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Louis Vuitton) were all replete with silk sleepwear sets — is so taken with look, that he himself wore a different pair of pajamas for each show’s runway bow. Meanwhile, looking forward to Resort 2014, several fashion houses, from Rochas to Gucci, have incorporated echoes of pajama pieces. And on the men’s side, the Spring 2014 offerings from Haider Ackermann, Dries van Noten and Stefano Pilati‘s collection for Ermenegildo Zegna were populated with lounge-inspired, silk jacquard silhouettes.

Such is the continuing traction of the pajama trend that it has led to the launch of several labels largely dedicated to the pajama look, including Piamita, brainchild of W

Top 5 pyjama party games

Posted on by mimin

Spin the nail enamel bottle:Okay, so this is a spinoff from the original, but this one is great fun too. Your friends sit in a circle and you spin a bottle of nail polish in the centre. When it stops, the player towards whom the cap is pointing has to paints a finger nail. You can change the polish as you go along.
Scavenger hunt: This one can build the appetite for a midnight snack too. Hide clues around your home and keep a prize for finding the ‘treasure’.

Pass the pillow: In this game players pass a pillow to each other. To make it interesting, stuff the pillow with small chits of paper on which an activity is mentioned. Whoever gets ‘out’ has to do this activity.
Midnight makeover: Divide the group into two. Let one player from each team get a makeover. Both teams get the same cosmetics so no one has a greater edge.
Catch the killer: How about solving a murder mystery while you party? Everyone draws a slip of paper and returns it folded without a word, to a bowl. One slip has the word ‘murderer’ on it and as the party

How Do I Choose the Best Winter Pajamas?

Posted on by mimin

When you shop for winter pajamas, you should choose something that will provide warmth and comfort. If you’re choosing winter pajamas for a child, consider buying one-piece, footed pajamas that will keep the entire body warm. Material such as flannel andfleece will provide more warmth than cotton or polyester. You must also decide whether you prefer a pajama set or top and bottom separates.

Children’s winter pajamas often are available in colorful cartoon character designs. Children also enjoy wearing pajamas with a holiday or winter theme, so if you’re buying winter pajamas for a child’s gift, consider reindeer or snowflake prints. Whatever designs you decide to buy for children’s winter pajamas, long-sleeved styles are best for warmth. Winter blanket sleepers are ideal for toddlers or children who tend to kick the covers off at night.

If you enjoy pajamas that fit snug against the body, or if you live in a cold climate, consider buying thermal pajamas. Thermal pajamas are made for men, women, and children. Thermal pajamas are generally available in a variety of colors. Children’s thermals may also be available in prints or character designs.

8 Dos and Donts When Buying Pajamas

Posted on by mimin

Pajamas are loose-fitting apparel that is designed primarily for sleep and for comfort. Many pajamas are unisex in their design, allowing both men and women to wear them. Kids’ pajamas, on the other hand, often contain foot coverings and are advertised as onesies because they are only a one-piece garment. Pajamas for both adults and children can range in material, in size, in color, and in length. They come in countless designs and patterns that can be geared to fit anyone’s interests. While kids’ pajamas may feature popular cartoon characters or animals, pajamas for adults may be simpler in their design. The type of pajamas that a buyer chooses will often be based on factors such as their sleeping habits or their personal preferences. They should also coordinate with the weather, as some pajama materials are better suited for certain seasons. In order to help buyers choose a pair of pajamas that will fit their needs, this guide will discuss eight do’s and don’ts for buying pajamas, and it will instruct buyers on how to search for and purchase pajamas at retailers such as brick and mortar department stores and online sites like eBay.

Pajamas That You Can Wear to Work? This Startup Wants to Be the Lululemon of Sleepwear.

Posted on by mimin

For many women, sleepwear tends to consist either of the discombobulated dregs of one’s wardrobe — handed-down boxer shorts, ratty T-shirts and frumpy sweatshirts, for instance — or, on the other hand, uncomfortably decorous lingerie.

“The outfit that you wear to sleep is usually defined by being something so unattractive that you wouldn’t wear it in public,” says entrepreneur Ashley Merrill. “But the weird thing about that is that it’s the environment where you’re with the people who you probably want to look your best and feel your best around.”

Seeking a breezier option that fell somewhere in between, the 31-year-old fashion lover established Lunya (a play on “lugna,” the Swedish word for relaxation) in October 2012. As a mother-of-two — son Linken is 2 and daughter Vesper is 1 — Merrill sought to create a sleepwear line for “the modern woman,” she says. After several years in development, the line officially launched in November 2014.

Lunya was self-funded, Merrill says, which “changes the pressure, but doesn’t mean there is none.” Her husband Marc Merrill co-founded Riot Games, whose League of Legends franchise posted revenues of roughly $1.3 billion in 2014. Merrill has no professional fashion experience, but previously served as the managing director ofMomtastic,

Top 8 Pajamas for Newborns

Posted on by mimin

With the plethora of baby clothing and accessories available, new parents are often confused about what to buy. However, understanding the difference between the top pajamas for newborns and what sets them apart from the rest simplifies the buying process. Pajamas should fit snugly, as loose pajamas are a fire risk. Although pajamas come in flame-retardant materials, many parents object to the chemicals used to create the fabric. Untreated materials are safe provided there is not much space between the baby’s skin and the pajamas. The following pajamas are safe, convenient, and designed to keep newborn babies cool or warm enough while they sleep. Newborn pajamas are available from a wide variety of sources, including baby, department, and clothing stores, as well as at online sites such as eBay.

Footed Pajamas

Footed pajamas, also known as footies, are a perennial favorite with parents and little ones. These consist of a one-piece suit with long sleeves and long legs. Since babies love wriggling out of socks, footies come with built-in feet that attach to the legs. This keeps baby’s toes snug without the constant battle of keeping socks on their feet. When choosing footed pajamas, parents should ensure that the suit is

Pick the right pajamas to get your best night’s sleep.

Posted on by mimin

Getting good slumber requires more than just scheduling a consistent bedtime. In fact, creating the right sleep environment—considering light, temperature, and more—can be the difference between fitful dozing and a long, full night of sleep. Another important element: what you wear to bed. Picking pajamas to help support good shut-eye is surprisingly simple.

Focus on Fabric

First and foremost, choose sleepwear that feels good when you put it on. If you dislike the slippery sensation of silk, for example, you won’t get good shut-eye in a silky pair of pj’s. Being strategic about what your sleep attire is made of can also help regulate your body temperature during the night, which, in turn, can promote better slumber. So consider the following fabrics.

  • Cotton: This all-natural fabric is lightweight and soft to the touch; it’s also breathable, allowing for air circulation, and doesn’t tend to irritate the skin. However, cotton does a poor job of insulating and may make you cold if worn in a cooler climate without adequate blankets. It’s also inefficient at wicking away moisture, so if you experience night sweats, it may not be the best choice.
  • Silk: This fabric is a magical

China’s stock market and the rise of the ‘pyjama traders’

Posted on by mimin

China’s volatile shares have affected millions of individuals – the shop owners, pensioners and other small traders, who make up 80% of China’s investors. How have China’s stock exchanges come to be dominated by “traders in pyjamas”?

When my Aunt Jin retired from her sedentary office job at the age of 55 several years ago, she spent some time wondering what to do with her golden years. She started by going dancing with her old friends from work but then she moved away from her old apartment and gradually that hobby fizzled out.

Thankfully my outgoing aunt never keeps still for very long – she’s always got a new interest bubbling away.

Shortly after hanging up her dancing shoes she found a new pastime. She started watching various TV talk shows that teach old-timers how to become rich.

‘Self-made billionaires’

You can see the attraction. These shows are usually fronted by pundits dressed as sophisticated self-made billionaires – a bit like a TV version of the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

It all started in 2009 when China was seeing a massive stock market boom. Every time I visited my aunt, as I chatted away I’d see her move closer and closer to her TV
