Brighten Up Your Nursery With Beaba’s New Night Light

If you’re tired of the simple plug-in variety, make sure to check out Beaba‘s new Pixie Nightlight ($55).

It offers two LED brightness settings that give off just enough light to safely navigate a nursery during bedtime, but not so much that it interferes with baby’s sleep.

The rechargeable base also means you can position it anywhere you want without being slave to your electrical outlets.

And once fully-charged, it gives off about six hours of soft light — just enough for a feeding or two.

Best of all, an ergonomic handle turns the Pixie into an adorable lantern a potty-training toddler can easily tote on overnight trips to the bathroom.

To shop, go to beabausa.com.

Delivering daughter Josselyn Sydney, 3, was “blissful” for Samantha Harris and — for obvious reasons — she’s hoping for more of the same when she delivers her second child in January.

“It was like a private symphony in the labor room because it was quiet with low light,” the Entertainment Tonight correspondent, 36, recalls in the December/January issue of Pregnancy.

“It was just my husband, my doctor and my nurse — so private and intimate.”

In just 16 minutes — and with three pushes — Josselyn entered the world.

“I could only be so lucky to have this birth be identical,” Harris muses.

Courteney Cox: Coco Wants a Dog for Christmas

Courteney Cox‘s holidays just got a little bit tougher. As if her public separation from husband David Arquette wasn’t enough, the Cougar Town actress was recently served with a “chilling” document: her daughter Coco Riley‘s Christmas list.

“She wants a puppy!” Cox, 46, tells PEOPLE with a laugh. “Which is unfortunate because we have two dogs.”

But with the 6-year-old landing firmly on Santa’s nice list, the actress seems resigned to her fate of a three-dog home, and negotiations between the two parties have already cleared their first hurdle.

“All I said was, ‘No Chihuahuas!’ explained Cox while attending the OmniPeace by Jordan Klein launch at Kitson on Friday. “[And Coco replied,] ‘No, they’re just crazy!’”

Since welcoming daughter Violet Madison in February, new mom Christina Milian has gotten her pre-baby body back — at the expense of her backside curves!

“I do kickboxing, running, going up hills … I started to lose my booty so I have to go up hills now,” the singer/actress said Sunday at a press conference for the American Music Awards.

“I want my butt back. You gotta keep the butt.”

That said, for Milian, the rewards of motherhood are endless. With Violet beginning to turn her baby babble into words, her emerging voice is music to her proud mother’s ears.
