One more thing on PJs...

Well I must say there is nothing better than a good night sleep for mums. I am very very dysfunctional and can get down right nasty if I am woken too many times during the night by my boys. I realised this very early on in my motherhood days and researched ways in which to get that blissful uninterrupted sleep. I found and read in may books on the subject that babies wake mainly if they are hungry or cold.
So first step feed them loads before bed time. Problem solved. Secondly make sure they are warm. I put them in a sleeping bag as it does get very cold in our house at night. At first I was worried about them being too warm but was re-assured by numerous sleeping consultants and Libby the owner of eeni meeni that as the armholes are so generous this would not be the case. You know what it worked!!! Both boys hit the magical 7pm to 7am by the time they were 3 months old .
I first used the sleeping sacks for new borns and then the sleeping cocoons. I honestly believe this is why they both are such good sleepers. When you think about it does make sense if we are cold at night we can pull a blanket over us but toddlers and babies can not so they cry for us to fix the problem.
So if you have a toddler who has never been a good night sleeper this just might be the answer….

More gorgeous kid's PJs

There is nothing nicer at the end of the day after my boys have had their bath and are squeaky clean albeit momentarily to get them dressed in their PJs. They both look like little Angels and their naughty pranks of the day are forgotten as we read their favourite books before they go off to the land of nod. Actually I think I am a PJ addict which is why, I stock so many. My First Room stocks a very exclusive range of boutique and small company PJs and I am always on the look out for beautiful new and unique designs.

Last post I wrote about Huckleberry Lane ’s gorgeous Boys Range. Their Girl’s range is just as beautiful and is extremely popular.

Other labels that we have are beautiful are the gingerlilly children’s range , range and the eeni meeni mini moh range . Eeni Meeni ‘s quality is absolutely superb . My first son demanded to wear the same set practically every night- as a result there were constantly washed and dried after a year we moved on to the next season’s pair and now my second son is wearing that original pair and they are still looking brand new .

Other brands that we are taking delivery of soon are Ouch Pyjamas and Books to Wear Two brands that I know you will love …

Stylish kid's PJs

Well it has been ages since I did my last blog what with running a shop, starting a web site from scratch and bringing up two little boys. I hope you can forgive me. I am under so much pressure from my client's,
web customers, family and friends to get this going again,
so here goes...

As a mum of two boys ages two and four, I really felt there was a huge hole in the market and general lack of boy's gorgeous pyjamas. By that I mean really gorgeous as in cute, stylish, tasteful and practical. All I could find were the garish ones with bold and sometimes tacky trucks or cartoon figures. Naturally there were lots of beautiful girl's pyjamas around but I wanted to find that special something for the boys. I wanted the usual quality that is synonymous with My First Room and, guess what, I found...


I discovered them in Melbourne at the lovely
Kids in Style fair and did my first initial order. There were so many designs to choose from. They arrived in store for the summer and some of the boy designs sold
out in the first few days!!!
My favourites were the planes and beach huts.


We are now into our fourth season with Huckleberry Lane PJs and they just keep getting better. This season I got a bit carried away and ordered five boys' styles and only two girls' styles. Whoops! The boys range was so cute I just ordered them all. Oh and some exciting news for Huckleberry Lane. They have been invited to sell their beautiful children's pyjamas in Harrods of Knightsbridge. So now the little boys in London can be just as gorgeous in the PJs as their
Aussie counterparts.
