Snuggly Buggly Boo ~ Bedhead Pajamas

When my 3 children were all young, under the age of 10, I found myself in a vortex of hyper activity, constant interruption and mind bending exhaustion.  I was raising them while pursuing a full time career.  Motherhood was not exactly what I had imagined.  I thought I was prepared.  After all, I had an excellent role model, but the view is very different from the other side. It is a never ending compromise, a relinquishment of ego combined with a fathomless bond that I can only define as gut wrenching.  There is no explanation for a mother’s love even as our children drive us crazy with boundless demands.  Worry, hope, and pleasure define a mother’s lifestyle.  Expectations and disappointments are on every horizon.  For me, the consistency of our night time routines was the one saving grace of each hectic day.  And I think, If you asked my children, each now in their 20’s, which moments meant the most to them in those years, they would say, reading together at bedtime followed by our  “snuggly,  buggly boo” goodnight hugs.

No doubt, my son would have preferred his Superman PJs, but I bet the girls would have loved “dressing” like mom during our pre-slumber cocooning.  Access to the Bedhead Pajama brand would have been a perfect solution.  A quintessential example of Bedhead’s dynamic patterns for mothers and daughters is exemplified by the matching cotton stretch tank PJ (1055-S-158) and classic kid’s pajama (1002-K-158) shown here in the Abbey Road print.  Available in five sizes, each style comes in blue or petal pink.  But what really matters is this company’s message: Made in the USA.   Bedhead works tirelessly to promote its own community with its commitment to quality, employee well-being and charity.  As a mother, this was a lesson I worked hard to teach my children.  Pajama time nurtured the message.
