Remember the days when scratch 'n' sniff stickers were a thing? I loved collecting them as a kid and now, whenever I can find them, I like to add them to my teacher stash. There's a certain nostalgia to scratch 'n' sniff stickers which is why I was curious to see what the Original Whiffer Sniffers were all about. Recently launched in Canada, Whiffer Sniffers are cuddly scented plush characters and backpack clips with quirky personalities to match their scents.

For review, we received a Milton Melon Backpack Clip and a Chocolate Chip Backpack Clip. They clip easily onto backpack, lunchbox or bag, and are a fun collectible to keep or trade with friends. Our favourite is the watermelon backpack clip. Each clip retails for $9.99 each.

We also received a 12-inch Freddy Froster Super Sniffer. This adorable donut scented plush toy comes in a huggable size that kids will love. Super Sniffers retail for $19.99. All plush toys and backpack clips are packaged in giftable clear containers and are designed for kids ages three and up. Also available are Myster Packs that contain rare backpack clip-sized Whiffer Sniffers such as Sunny Pop and Jerry Pie, super rare gold bag characters that are a mix of two existing characters, or one of the other regularly sold Whiffer Sniffer characters. They are now exclusively available at Toys"R"Us.

For as long as I can remember, bedtime has always been a challenge with my first-born. As a newborn, she would often fuss and cry at night but I thought if we could just implement a routine as she got older, things would get easier. And sometimes it did. But mostly, it didn't. It turns out, she needed someone with her in her room every night. Yet for me, I needed her to go to sleep on her own. I was often tired and if I were to lay down next to her, I would inevitably fall asleep in an awkward position on her twin bed and wake up with an arm resting on my face. I'm sure many parents can relate. Lots of fun, right? Nope. I needed to sleep in my own spacious bed and I needed my daughter to find ways to self-soothe. My husband, however, would prefer to lay down next to her than have her call us repeatedly to her room out of fear of the dark. We have tried a few different night lights but, even at nine years of age, she was still afraid of being alone in her room at night. Until we met Charley the Chameleon, that is.

Initially, I had intended for my six-year-old son to have Charley because it was designed for babies and toddlers, I thought to myself. Surely the novelty would wear off and then I could pass it on to my baby nephew or my three-year-old goddaughter. While my son loved it, he really didn't need it. He's always been a pro at sleeping and would often sleep for 10-11 hours a night since he was one month old. But because Charley is so cute, my kids decided to take turns with him each night. What ended up happening? My daughter kept him in her room and my son really hasn't asked for him in weeks. Which is perfectly fine because for the first time in a very, very long time, my daughter will go to bed without asking me to say with her. I'm still having a hard time believing it myself, but it's true! I feel like bowing down to the Cloud B gods and saying, "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!"
