Life in Pajamas

Today I'm Working in Pajamas

Yup, today I'm working in pajamas.  Working in pajamas is nothing new for me, I've loved pajamas for years and thinking back on it, I've done some of my best work in pajamas.  I've had some of my best ideas in pajamas.  I've written some of my best tweets and blog posts in pajamas. I thought of starting a pajama company wearing pajamas. I love to be comfy, I love to lounge.  I'm not sloppy, my pj's are fabulous.  My pj's are fun prints, my pj's are wonderful cottons. My pj's are often ironed, crisp and fresh.  I wear mascara and pink lipgloss with my pj's. 

I know I'm not the only one working happily in my pj's.  I think there are a lot of us out there creating, writing, innovating everyday in pj's.  I love to say that I'm pretty lazy, I love to lounge. Being lazy is really a state of mind, it's being comfy, it's settling into a great chair in pj's and laptop ready to work.  Being lazy is a virtue. As Pooh Bear famously said,  “Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”  Sometimes slowing down the pace of life is so productive. 

So today, cheers to all of us working in pajamas.  Cheers to all of us creating, writing, thinking in pajamas.  Today is our day.

P.J. Salvage First Annual National Seep-In Day!

One of of our favorite pajama peeps, P.J. Salvage is sponsoring it's first annual national Sleep-In Day this Saturday, February 19.  P.J. Salvage encourages us to take the morning to sleep-in to recuperate from everyday daily stresses and general lack of sleep.  P.J. Salvage hopes to highlight the benefits of getting enough sleep including:  improving overall health, strengthening our overall awareness and reaction speeds and improving physical fitness.  National Sleep-in Day is P.J. Salvage's fun and interesting way to bring light to the benefits of sleep and the influential role proper sleepwear can play in regulating sleep patterns.

In conjunction with National Sleep-in Day, P.J. Salvage will donate 500 pairs of pajamas to Pajama Program, a non-profit organization that provides new pajamas and new books to chilren in need in the United States and around the world in orphanages, group homes and shelters.  P.J. Salvage will make donations in New York City and Los Angeles as well as encourage the company's nationwide retailers to participate in the donation.

So join in the fun and Sleep-In this Saturday!  Do it for your own health and wll being!  Sleep for a good cause is just...good!

Snowed In? Make It a Pajama Day and Make Some Memories

When the snow is piling up outside, nothing beats staying in—preferably while lounging in your pj's and cradling a cup of hot chocolate. If you are lucky enough to find some solitude on a wintry day, time can suddenly stand still. The rush of life recedes and the terrible weather means that responsibilities will have to wait. Tomorrow it may all begin again, but today you have the luxury of wrapping yourself in the warmth of your favorite flannel pajamas and doing what you love.

On the other hand, a day snowed-in with the family is every bit as wonderful as a quiet day alone. Knowing that there's no commute ahead of you and no classes ahead for your kids means that you can focus on what matters most—each other. Playing board games, watching old movies, and sliding around the hardwood floors in your favorite fun pajamas and footies is just as magical for parents as it can for children. On typical days, the children may retreat to the solitary world of their video games and their MP3 players, but a day of pajama fun will capture their full attention. It is the kind of moment that your kids will talk about for years to come.

Street clothes—whether a sharp business suit or plain jeans and t-shirt—are not meant for these kind of relaxed  winter days. When you dress in everyday garments, you are dressing for the outside world. School and work may not appear on the day's agenda, but by dressing for them, you are playing their rules. Staying in your pj pants and letting the little ones pad around the house in their footed pajamas makes everything more special. Let the world have the other six days of the week; keep this one for yourself.

You could settle for just any kind of sleepwear, but fun pajamas—the kind that express your personality and bring a smile to everyone's face—are the best on a cold, stormy day. That's important, because a pajama day should be all about who you are.

So the next time the weather report calls for a foot of snow to land just outside your door, smile. Make sure everyone has a great pair of pajamas. Let the sun wake you up slowly. Enjoy being together. Tomorrow there will be plenty of time for a breakfast on the run in your business causal attire. Today—well—today is different.

Make Halloween a "Footie" Holiday

Throw a Pajama Party this Halloween for the Entire Family

More and more families are deciding to make Halloween a night strictly for friends and family instead of trick-or-treating in uncertain weather and worrying about unsafe drivers and other dangers. Because Halloween falls on a Sunday this year, many families will decide to celebrate on Saturday night instead. Why not turn this spooky occasion into a fun-filled pajama party complete with costumes, party food, and scary stories?

Footie Pajama Costumes for the Kids
For the kids, you'll be able to find an amazing selection of footie pajamas that are designed to double as Halloween costumes. We love the selection from Big Feet PJ's and Snug as a Bug.  Not only will your kids enjoy the party in comfort and style as they run around dressed as cats, devils, dragons or ghosts, they will demand to wear them to bed night after night. This is definitely one costume idea that delivers more than your money's worth. One of the best things about a footie pajama Halloween costume is that your child won't have to miss out on any fun just to get ready for bed! Simply let them enjoy the night until they're exhausted, and then scoop them up for bedtime.

Footie Pajama Costumes for Adults
Who doesn't love footie pajamas? Everyone remembers sliding across a newly-waxed kitchen floor in their footies as a child. Halloween is the perfect excuse for the adults to indulge their inner child by donning a pair of adult-sized footie pajamas from Big Feet PJ's and Footzies. Just imagine the look on the kids' faces when you show up in your very own footie pajama Halloween costume. They'll be so excited that you've chosen to fully take part in their fun. If you can't find adult-sized, pre-made Halloween costumes in footie pajamas, they're easy enough to make. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Witch: Black footie pajamas, witch's hat, and broom
• Black Cat: Black footie pajamas, cat's ears, and tail
• Devil: Red footie pajamas, devil's horns, and pitchfork
• Bunny: Pink footie pajamas, bunny ears, and a fluffy tail
• Big Baby: Pink or powder blue footie pajamas, baby bonnet, and a pacifier
• Santa: Red footie pajamas and a Santa hat
• Pumpkin: Orange footie pajamas, a green cap, and black cutouts for the front
• Super Hero: Any color footies, a cape, and your own personal superhero emblem

Halloween Party Ideas that Are All About Footies
There are literally thousands of Halloween party ideas floating around, but you'll want to add a few that will put special emphasis on those fun footie pajamas that everyone will be wearing. To make it a party that everyone will remember for years to come, try adding a few of these fun ideas to your ghoulish pajama party:
• Have a costume contest and award prizes for originality or cuteness. To make it extra fun, invent a bunch of silly titles that you can put on pre-made award buttons or ribbons so that everyone gets one.
• Challenge everyone to a sliding contest to see who can go the furthest or last the longest.
• A tug-of-war game could get really interesting when no one can get any traction.
• Turn up the tunes and twist the night away in those slippery footies!
