Sleeping like a baby….

9 Jan By 2 Comments

My son has to be the most spoiled person in this house.

Before he was born he had organic sheets and soft as a pillow blankets and a reversible mattress that went from newborn to toddler stages. Then again, Chris and I have the iComfort By Serta and Charlotte’s rocking a Temperpedic, so you can tell we take sleep ultra serious in this house. And while it’s fine and dandy to have an amazing mattress, without amazing sheets, it’s like having a sports car in the driveway without wheels. To truly get a good nights sleep you need to start from the ground up on the mattress but end with fine linens.

Now I have had beds with luxurious sheets and I have had sheets with 100 thread count. If you are wondering the difference, it’s pretty much like sandpaper vs a pillowy cloud of loveliness. There are few words of wisdom I can pass down in today’s age, but if someone had to ask me a tip of life, I would absolutely say get a fantastic mattress the first time out and get even better sheets. You cannot put a price tag on the place you spend the majority of your life in bed.

With all that in mind, I wanted to introduce you to a company that  can help you start the year off right with good sleep:

Actually, we both know that is a lie because its missing the 5 cats, dog, and two kids. But that isn’t the point….don’t those beds make you want to crawl in them? If they do, you should hit up the sale!

So tell me….what kind of sheets do you have now?

Have you ever invested in really nice bed linens?

How did you make your first born feel special when a sibling came along?

2 Aug By 30 Comments

I always said I wouldn’t have another child. One was plenty.

I mean, if you have a child already, you know that one is plenty. But inevitably people, whether by bad luck or good, irresponsibility or choice, generally have more than one.

And then it happens. SIBLINGS.

Its the one thing that isn’t talked about as much when you introduce a new member of the family. Of course as adults our lives change, but we are used to that adapting. We get that there will be midnight feedings and diaper changes and tantrums. We know that date nights are over (if you ever had them) and vacations are now work.

Charlotte is 6.5 so introducing a baby to the family, for her world, is an entirely new concept. She has a cousin her age, she has 4 pets, but she has also undoubtedly been the light of her mother and fathers world since her entry into the world.

She IS the world.

Now with a new baby, comes new baby stuff, and with that, comes jealousy, however slight since she cant have bottles and pacis and baby blankets herself, but its there. She is seeing the “new” show up and I know she walks in her room and sees the old. One of the things I have been trying to do is every time I order Phoenyx something, I get her something too. Of course this isn’t something I can keep up for entirety. He cant get an outfit and she get one side by side. Ill be broke in 6 months. But for the big occasion, I wanted her to know that she is, and always be, just as special her brother.
