Hang Up The Heels

Once I began to venture out into the world with Sadie I became obsessed with noticing other Moms out there.  I’d check their stroller out, give their diaper bag a once over,  see if they had any tricks up their sleeves that I hadn’t figured out yet.  By doing this I have definitely picked up a few tricks and a bit of confidence along the way.  I have also noticed on quite a few occasions a certain blanket that I really liked.  And the more I looked, the more I noticed every Mom had this!  I was beginning to question myself as a Mother, why didn’t I have this amazing blanket that everyone else seems to own?

So I asked a Mom friend of mine about it, and she told me she adored hers and where to get it.  So being the good-natured person that I am, I thought I’d pass along the helpful advice.

This light-weight musselin type fabric is made by a company called aden + anais.  They come in a 3 pack for about $45.  That might seem a bit steep, but honestly, it is worth it.  They make the perfect swaddle, light-weight blanket, burp rag, nursing cover, sun shade over the stroller or playmat.  I use all 3 of mine constantly.  I have one in the diaper bag, one in the nursery and one on the couch.  Since they are a thin material it is perfect to cover the baby up in the stroller on a very sunny day and still  be able to see through. Same goes for breastfeeding, it covers you up great but leaves just enough transparency so you can see your baby.  Honestly, it is a great investment + they are super cute.  The one we have is the Bamboo Collection, which is super duper soft.

Happy shopping!
