Bedding FITTED for You

Olive Kids is a fun line of kids' bedding that was created to avoid the bedding options tied to popular TV and movie characters. The goal was to create affordable, fun bedding that promoted creativity and play. They offer a variety of prints that relate to the interests and dreams of the young: cowboys, mermaids, trucks...

Not only do they have a wide and appealing selection of prints they offer regular comforters and "huggers." As a mom, this "hugger" concept is wonderful. Every morning I have to retuck in my sons comforter around his mattress, and every night in his wild slumber it gets untucked. The hugger is the solution. It is hugs the mattress. "The hugger comforter is sewn at the foot and tailored to fit the mattress. The corners at the foot of the comforter wrap around so that the Hugger "hugs" the mattress." Not only does it make it easier for mom to make the bed. It also makes it easier for your child as they learn that big boy skill.

I highly recommend tucking your sweet little one into the soft Olive Kids bedding...

Kushies: Some Great Products for Naptime!!

Green and clean! Do you ever get tired of the waste of diapers and then pull-ups? Every night I put a pair of pull-ups on my three year old son and put him to bed. Some mornings they are dry and most they are wet. We tried being hardcore and just have him do undies- this did not work- weeks of changing sheets most nights- this was tiring for me and sad for him. My daughter never did pull-ups, but my son is a different child. We will transition to undies when the time is right, but for now I am trying to cut down on my environmental impact. So....

Kushies makes these great pull-on training pants. Reusable! Great feeling material! No leeks! And they feel like we are moving more towards undies...


And for all you mommies with a new baby another travel bed option by Kushies. This bed folds up very compactly. You could easily keep it in your car without decreasing storage space, or pack it in a suitcase. It can be used inside or outside (with its UV protective material). All ready for a nap at a friend's house or grandma's. Great nap-on-the-go solution.

And when your sweet baby grows out of the travel bed and into a portable crib. Kushies has an extremely soft portable play pen sheet to throw on (this is a great tip- you never know when drool, spit up, throw up, or some other bodily fluid will need to be cleaned from the portable crib.) These sheets are fully elasticized for a tight fit and come in a variety of colors and prints.

When Does School Start?

School has started- fun and exciting and busy to say the least. The rush of the morning- getting everyone dressed and fed and out the door on-time. The rush of the afternoon: school pick-up, extra activities, homework, reading, dinner, bedtime routine... the list just seems to grow as I run through my own nightly ritual... you can fill in the rest of the to-dos that exhaust the hours from the time the school bell rings until the time our child's head hits the pillow.

In all the busyness of the school year we often forget about our children's necessary sleep or by virtue of the busyness it gets pushed aside as we try to get it all done (an aside: is that even possible?)

I encourage you to know how much sleep your child needs on a daily basis to function as a kind human that is able to focus and perform at school and home. I also encourage you to make it a PRIORITY that they get that sleep and when they don't that you make sure that they make it up.

This is a great table to help you figure out about how much sleep your child needs, from the National Sleep Foundation:

Question for You?

Do you have to wake your child up in the morning? Or do they have enough time to wake up on their own?
