Deglingos Shinanegans

Deglingos Shinanegans

OK so its Monday afternoon and having just had some lunch am feeling kinda sleepy but thought I should do a quick write up on the fun and qwirky soft toys we stock called Deglingos. Its all an bit silly so if you are of the 'sensible' type, suggest switching off now. Thought I would address a few Deglingos questions that are doing the rounds at the moment...like how do you say it ? What are they, Where do they come from ? Do they speak or something ? errrrr I just don't get it you are off your rocker! etc etc etc.

DEGLINGOS READ ON

LOL - OK so first off, how do you say Deglingos ? Well that's pretty easy as the best way is to say it as follows: DE-GLING-GOES its as simple as that. Some people spell it Deglingoes (with an e) which is fine, but the totally correct way is Deglingos. In fact most of them don't care and even if you say it to their faces they don't mind...well apart from Big Bos that is ! The next question we get alot about Deglingos is about the language of the Deglingos. Well they all have a great and unique language which involves them adding the letters OS to the end of every word. (Pinch = pinchos, Fantastic = fantasticos, ultimate = ultimos as an example of a few words). While they don't ACTUALLY speak and make a sound as such, you can imagine each one describing himself / herself just based on their look and what they wear.

DEGLINGOS - KEEP TUNED

Where do Deglingos come from ? - Well this is pretty easy to answer, a far far away land called Deglingosland, where few people have been there due to the huge mountains, purple trees and red grass surrounding the land and also the very dangerous blue cows protecting it.

There are many different characters to see and each one very unique...there are even baby Deglingos and grown up Deglingos. A few of the well known names include, Big Bos the Wolf, Ratos the Rat, Molos the Lobster, Lapinos the rabbit, Poilodos, Mikos, Chikos, Ronronos, Nonos......each one is an animal and goes by their full name. So Ratos the Rat becomes, Deglingos - Ratos the Rat, Pikos becomes Deglingos - Pikos the Hedgehog and so on.

We have rabbits, Chickens, Dogs, Cats, Wolf, Hedgehog, Lobster and even Rats ! There are other animals a coming so stay tuned.

DEGLINGOS - I'M SLEEPY

My all-time favourite Deglingos is an animal called Big Bos, Deglingos Big Bos. In fact I have put a couple of youtube videos up about him (and the others as well as I didn't want to upset them).

Look out for the Pikos scrunchy toys as well...something a little different but rest assured little baby will love this one and probably end up chewing it. All the Deglingos are made from very soft and safe material, with the 'baby' range made from extra soft and furry material.

Anyway, less chit chat and lets get down to brass tacks as they say.... if you want to buy Deglingos please visit 4little1s.com and click on Toys and mobiles section of the website and you find them there. Hurry though as we sell out of Deglingos pretty quick due to them being very unusual and unique for baby gifts and grown up gifts alike.

Some prices are at the lowest you will find around (check the shoes out if you don't believe us). I haven't really 'marketed' them yet as need to think of some good ideas as how to do it...feel free to post a comment on the blog if you have any great marketing ideas.

NURSERY FURNITURE - What to do ?

Ok so there you stand, leaning against the door frame of an empty room...soon to be filled. Clean walls, the odd picture, a pair of curtains (old) , and furniture feet marks on the old carpet where the wardrobe used to be.

Soon, your little one is going to be sleeping here, mixed up in soft toys, wooden toys, teddies and other toys. You think for a minute and then the panic starts..... errr when and how exactly are you supposed to start this project ?

What about room design, what nursery furniture do you actually need and what is clutter ? Colours ? What about a budget...how much is a cot anyway, and what is a cotbed by the way ? Before you take that trip online or down the high street jibbering to yourself and being in a daze, read on for a little help from 4little1s.com

Designing your babies little nursery

Do you buy the nursery furniture, baby bedding or the toys first ? ....well there lies the first question and the answer is its a matter of your own choice really....

Think of a design scheme and colour, in the same way you would a regular room, modern, bright, historic, trains, flowers, fairies etc and also think about colours, blue, pink etc. Some people say to buy a cot or a cotbed and then design your nursery around it that way round. Then buy bedding that goes with the wood effect if its dark or light. However,the way I would recommend you dress a nursery is to build a picture in your head first and work from that. That way you are able to picture what the end product will look like and simply build it up from there....SIMPLE ! Well not exactly....... !

A good decorating tip is to paint or wallpaper your room before the nursery furniture arrives as trying to decorate a room with a new cotbed, wardrobe, peg shelf, changing top is not easy and you are bound to get glue or paint on them.

A couple of themes we provide on our website are listed below to help you get going on the baby bedding and nursery furniture side of things.

The Cot and Mattress

Almost without exception, most people buy the cot or cot bed first (cotbed is a cot that truns into a bed as they get older). It’s seen as the centerpiece to the nursery. It is worth spending a little more on a decent cot as baby will be spending alot of time in here and also,most importantly, it needs to be to be safe. Generally its better to buy a new one due to changing regulations about saftey etc.

You can buy a whole variety of different shapes and sizes and also woods such as ash, maple or oak. Ensure the mattress base is sturdy and has good quality wooden or metal supports. The bars must not be spaced out too much in order to ensure baby doesn't get stuck between them ! Although usually more expensive, it worth buying a cot bed as this prolongs the life of the bed as baby gets bigger and saves on buying another bed later on.

The Change Table

Ok so lets get realistic, your are going to be changing alot of nappies...lets reinforce this message....lots of nappies ! Some babies will need to be changed eight to twelve times a day....thats alot of poo ! Cot top changers provide a platform in order to change baby with minimal fuss and are usually placed ontop of the cot. They really do come in a wide variety of styles and colours...check them out on our website to get a better idea of what is available. Also remember you are going to be using a lot of baby wipes, baby lotions, and baby talc powder.

Wardrobes, Chests, Dressers, and Other forms of storage

I can reassure you, you will underestimate just how much 'stuff' you need and collect for baby on a day to day basis. Sometimes just going to the supermarket to buy a pint of milk, looked like I was going to climb Everest !

Look out for matching baby drawers and wardrobes to match the cot or cotbed, some even have some great and fun designs etched onto them like elephants, trains and so on.

Boxes to put toys in (toy chests) really are excellent for storage as well as collecting all the toys from the days excitement and putting them away to get you house back to normal for a few hours.

Look for fun painted ones with non-toxic materials used and look to match the cotbed, wardrobe and drawers.

Nursery Bedding / Baby Bedding

Fun bedding Sets: Buying something called a bedding bale is usually the easiest as it includes everything you need in one pack. Usually contains a sheet, cot bumper, pillow case blanket etc.

Smart Mum tip - It is always worth stocking up on extra baby bedding, finding out you don't have a spare clean sheet at 3am is not good for your head !

Lampshades: All babies nurseries should have a fun and colourful lampshade! Buy lampshades that matches the nursery theme you decided on. See our range of nursery lampshade and be prepared to say aghhhhh

Musical Mobile: To entertain and stimulate baby, musical mobiles attached to cribs complete the nursery sense with sound. There are endless varieties, from hanging butterflies to teddy bears to bunnies.

Baby Hampers & Bouquets: Ok so not essential, but these really do make a difference to the new family and offer not only a treat but also some practical clothing.

Nappy Stacker: These are basically tools to do exactly what you might think, they store and stack up the many nappies you are going to get through.....convenient storage solution

Get more traffic to your site

4little1s.com is an online Nursery Furniture, baby bedding and baby gifts retailer worth checking out.

Here are just a few tips I have used to get more traffic to websites. They at least help.....

I have found writing articles and then publishing them onto websites such as:

- ezinearticles.com
- articlesbase.com
- searchwarp.com
- alumbo.com
- articlesfactory.com

Generates a certain amount of traffic that helps convert to sales.

The second idea being to submit your website to web directories that offer free links, that is ones that you do not pay. A few of them are:

-dmoz.com
- lii.org
- littlewebdirectory.com
- skoobe.biz

Baby News

OOOOOoooooh now we can see the bump. Jill Scott has been showing off her bump recently. I am so glad that we can finally see a decent photo of bump, and it is very very close to the due date. Baby is due 25th April , and she expecting a baby boy. I wonder if she expected it to go so quickly.

19 Children !

Just heard about the Arkansas couple who have just had their 17th natural child and still are looking to have more

The children — all with names beginning with “J” — range in age from 19-year-old Joshua to Jennifer. In between are nine more boys and six girls: John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson and Johannah.

There are two sets of twins, so Michelle has gone through 15 pregnancies that ended in 13 natural deliveries and two C-sections. She has been pregnant for a full 25 percent of her 40 years.

Food to conceive

If you have a few seconds I'm doing some research on diet and conceiving...e.g Did you eat more fish or less meat etc etc
