Cloud B Twilight Sea Turtle Constellation Night Light – Product Review

December 10, 2008

For parents of infants and toddlers, sleep becomes a very, very precious luxury. I remember when I gave birth to littleQ, I didn’t have more than 3-4 hours of sleep at a time for about a year!

Night lights have been a childhood bedroom staple to help children fall asleep for such a long time, but I do think this is one of the best nightlights I’ve ever seen.

The Twilight Sea Turtle Constellation Night Light from Cloud B doesn’t just give you some faint yellowish light on the wall, it provides a soothing blue and green constellation star show on your child’s ceiling that’ll help him fall asleep faster because he’ll be more calmed and comfortable! Its predecessors, The Twilight Lady Bug and the Twilight Turtle also provide the stimulating yet soothing light show, but the Twilight Sea Turtle is even better. Not only is it a cuddly bedtime buddy for infants and babies, a portion of the proceeds from every Twilight Sea Turtle that’s purchased goes directly to wildlife conservation organizations to help save the Sea Turtles and other sea creatures that are endangered. The Twilight Sea Turtle has even won the Creative Child Top Choice of the Year Award.

The Twilight Sea Turtle’s shell features pictures of five other endangered sea creatures, including the Blue Whale and the California Sea Otter. The included Twilight Storybook is very informative for older children and includes facts about the Blue Whale, Sea Otters, Leatherback Turtles, Knysna Seahorses and Vaquita Dolphins. There are also fun references for finding some star constellations and tips on how to help keep the ocean creatures and our world healthy! The turtle’s shell is made of lightweight plastic, while its body is soft and very plush!

I think the Cloud B Twilight Sea Turtle Constellation Night Light is a wonderful present for new or expectant mothers and for children from infants to toddlers 3 or 4 years old. For infants, the night light is wonderfully soothing, and for toddlers, it’s a fun interactive toy and they’ll be able to enjoy learning about the different animals pictured on the sea turtle’s shell. The 3 required AAA batteries are included, which is always a plus when purchasing a present.

The Cloud B Twilight Sea Turtle retails for $34-$36, but you can get it for cheaper at many online retailers. You can find the Cloud B Twilight Sea Turtle Night Light and its sister products, the Cloud B Twilight Ladybug and Turtle at Amazon ($29.84 + free shipping) and theBabyCenter Store ($34.99 + free shipping).

Il Divo – Music and Christmas Classics that Sound as Smooth as Silk (CD Giveaway!)

December 10, 2008

Il Divo… they’re a quartet of smooth voiced operatic singers who are so handsome (and sound so good!) that it makes you sigh. Their newest album, The Promise , is wrought with emotion and is simply amazing, perfectly harmonious vocal performances. Firstly, I have to tell you that their version of Amazing Grace is incredible! The clear rich sounds of their voices melded together to add that essence of peace, calm and utter emotion that is often missed in so many renditions of the classic. La Promessa is just utterly divine. Sure, I have absolutely no idea what they’re saying, but it’s a beautiful song. Also on the album is a Spanish version of ABBA’s The Winner Takes it All, done up operatic style!

If you opt to purchase this album, either for yourself or the music lover in your holiday shopping list, I’d recommend going for the Luxury Edition , as it includes a small poster of the Il Divo hunks, as well as a DVD with music videos of their performances of The Power of Love and Hallelujah and an in depth look at the singers with interview of the operatic quartet.

For your Christmas gatherings, I have to highly recommend making sure Il Divo’s album, The Christmas Collection , is part of your holiday music library. Their version of Silent Night nearly brought tears to my eyes, and Ave Maria was beautiful. The Christmas Collection, with ten moving renditions of classic Christmas songs we all know and love, is perfect for Christmas Eve gatherings, when everyone is together, drinking eggnog and laughing the night away! The beautiful voices of Il Divo are the perfect vehicles through which anyone should hear these Christmas songs.

You can purchase The Promise, The Christmas Collection as well as their other available albums and individual MP3s at the Il Divo store on Amazon.

For a chance to win your very own copies of the the Il Divo albums The Promise (luxury edition, or course!) and The Christmas Collection, please leave a comment on this post. The last day to leave a comment is December 15, 2008 at 11:59pm EST.
