Like any mother, you learn the art of rituals and scheduling when little ones come into your life. Raising children is an adjustment to say the least. I found it comforting to have "times" to move the day along and get things done. My favorites: play time, bath time, and bedtime. I like the fun stuff! I loved it when they were squeaky clean after the bath and ready to snuggle. I would read them bedtime stories and as they grew, they would read to me.

We love the idea of reading a story to turn off the day. We created our Read to Me Pocket Pillow - a pillow that holds a book - for this very reason! It fits the criteria for a great gift - cute, soft, looks gorgeous, and is useful. It wraps up beautifully and can be personalized. Here's a glimpse of our stock pocket pillow styles. You can easily add books and toys to complete the look.

This may be the best Baby Shower Gift, especially for a book-themed shower.

The Read to Me Pocket Pillow is a beautiful accessory for any nursery. Reading at bedtime is a great idea to quiet the kids down and relax. Our pillow is a great place for your child's favorite book, but it's so much more. It's a place to get to the good stuff: a special time alone to share a story, to comfort a worry, or to answer a question. This is where the hugs happen, and where the love grows.

Tell them a story and tuck them in tight! Tell them you love them and kiss them good night!
