7 Tales of Motherhood: Dearest Dani

Happy FRIDAY!!!

This week Drew had the amazing opportunity to review a pillow doll from Dearest Dani, and we are so excited to share our thoughts on these cute pillow doll, as well as their shirts!

First I'd like to point out the amazing quality and detail in the pillow doll. It is simple, yet extremely well made.

I love how unusual they are. It's not your every day teddy bear or dog. There are several different pillow dolls to choose from. Drew got the panda pillow doll , which he named Po (like from Kung Fu Panda). He was so excited!

The panda fits Drew's personality perfectly. He is our cuddly little guy. We loved our panda so much that I ordered a fox for Benjamin. Hopefully the fox will keep Benjamin from trying to steal Drew's panda!

From the time he was a little baby, Drew has loved toys, especially ones he can cuddle with. We encourage imagination at our house, and Drew definitely exercises this. He treats his stuffed animals and toys like they are real. He carries a toy everywhere. He will feed them, cuddle them, read to them, sing to them, and sleep with them. Getting him to put his own toys away is a serious struggle for us because he cries like he is never going to see them again. He loves them all. I had to start to separate his toys into different bags and then rotate all of his toys every few months just to keep down on the toy clutter.

The hardest part about this is when he falls asleep he is surrounded by all of his toys. He is constantly waking up during the night because Dusty Crophopper is digging in his back or he kicks Buzz Lightyear and suddenly hears, "To infinity, and BEYOND!" I always sneak in half an hour after bedtime to tuck him in and remove all hard toys or big, bulky stuffed animals. But the Pillow Doll is GREAT because it doesn't take up a lot of room, and it is safe and easy to sleep on.

I also loved the size because it is not small enough to get lost easy, but not so big that it takes up a lot of room. It was great for our long drives to visit grandparents.

Drew gives Dearest Dani's Pillow Dolls an A+

I also won a "Ohana Means Family" raglan from Dearest Dani a few months ago and it is one of our favorite shirts.

You can also custom order any of the Pillow Doll prints to be printed on a tee shirt for your little one! I think Drew will be pretty excited to see a shirt with Po on it!
