INTRODUCING Woolly Boo at The Benjamin Hotel in NYC!

Woolly Boo is proud to announce its partnership with The Benjamin Hotel in New York City, where sleep is core, not an afterthought or coincidence.

Woolly Boo’s Toddler Pillow was selected as the official pillow of Winks’ Kidzzz Club, the hotel’s sleepy time program for the little leaders of tomorrow, to help reinforce the program’s mission of educating children and parents alike on the importance of sleep and healthy bedtime rituals such as choosing organic, chemical-free bedding, avoiding TV 1.5 hours before bedtime, and keeping a regular bedtime schedule even during vacation.

Beginning in Mid-March, families who stay at the boutique luxury hotel in Midtown will be able to use Woolly Boo’s naturally hypo-allergenic, wool-filled Toddler Pillow during their stay.

The Winks’ Kidzzz Club is a complimentary program, and it is available to kids ages 2 to 12. Club offerings also include:

• Kid-sized robes, available for use at the hotel
• Lending library of family favorite bedtime books
• Official Winks’ Kidzzz Club Sleep Certificate awarded upon check-out for a goodnight’s sleep
• Winks the Owl doll available for purchase ($10).

Happy ....... Day?!?

When we received a message from the kids' school informing us school closing in observance of the President's Day, we did what any parent would do: I googled it. I mean, what exactly is the "President's Day?"

Well, it appears that the Federal holiday is actually called Washington's Birthday, in the honor of our first president, and that his actual birthday falls on February 22. Now, because both Lincoln and Jefferson were born in or around February as well, some states observe the same day as, wait for it, President's Day. Some states and all department stores, it seems.

Well, happy birthday, Mr. President.

In any case, we hope that you enjoy this nice break with your family. We just wish there was some snow we can play with. But, the spring weather we have been having isn't that bad either, right?

Have you been loosing sleep?

The recent article from Wall Street Journal in which they cite a recent sleep study released on Monday by the Journal of Pediatrics states that while our kids are sleeping less, our parents and our grandparents haven't done a much better job either. Apparently, the kids have been "loosing sleep" since 1900's, and it is all due to technology and, wait for it, literacy. At the turn of the 20th century it was the radio and the books that kept the kids away. Right now, it is television, computers, and mobile phones.

So, what is keeping your kids up?
