Now that Spring is “almost” here, are you looking for that perfect lightweight blanket for your little one? We recently received the new, Austin based, muslin swaddle blanket from Koala Kuddles , and we’re in love! As a firm believer in swaddling as long as humanly possible, we were so excited to test out this new product! Yes, it’s true that the material of your blanket makes a huge difference when determining whether or not swaddling is going to be successful for your baby… We had great success with flannel blankets when swaddling Alex 3 years ago, but muslin seems to be the way to go for Harrison. The Koala Kuddle s blankets are just the right size for swaddling babies from 0 -3 months. Now that he is approaching the 4-month mark {tomorrow!} he is getting a little too long for these blankets. That said, with the adorable animal print design & the softer with every wash, breathable muslin fabric, our Koala Kuddles days are far from over! I had really been stressing over making sure Harrison had a beloved lovey or blankie, like my other two children did. Well my friends, I think the Koala Kuddles blanket has made it’s way into Harrison’s heart {and mine}. It is the perfect size for keeping him cozy in his car seat, stroller & even baby swing. He loves to have it close to his face, and he loves to feel the soft muslin fibers between his fingers. I love the Koala Kuddles for keeping him shielded from the sun {which we hope to do a lot next week in Disney World!} & I use it regularly as a nursing cover. It provides just the right amount of weight to keep him warm, but not too hot.

First off, when it comes to bedding {especially toddler and twin bedding} selection is very microscopic! You may find the perfect duvet or comforter only to not be able to find a matching sheet set OR your child grows out of the bed too quickly and you have to buy yet another entire set! PLUS, I don’t know about you, but my taste in bedding changes with the seasons! It’s ideal to find something that works from toddler-hood on up through elementary school until they are ready for a more grown-up room and bigger bed. The best part about today’s bedding company…a duvet and sheet all-in-one…let me enlighten you… Like I said, a duvet cover WITH A SHEET ATTACHED! No more searching the bottom of the bed for the sheet that got shoved down there or untangling your little monster from the sheets while he/she sleeps, PeeKoo Bedding has developed a remarkable {patent pending} and fashionable way to keep the sheet in place! I have never been more pleased with a bedding set! Our sample from PeeKoo bedding is the one above, Drew’s Zoo, and I love it! I’ve admired the animal pattern mainly because I have other items that match it perfectly in the nursery and now that my 4 year old and 21 month old share a bedroom, we needed to incorporate baby and big boy all in one…so this theme works out brilliantly! Connor is still in a toddler bed and even when my 8 year old was in a toddler bed I could never find the perfect bedding with matching sheet set. There’s just nothing good out there when it comes to toddler bedding, plus…why spend that kind of money when they’ll be in a bigger bed so quickly. We use our Twin PeeKoo Bedding Duvet in our toddler bed and it works perfectly! Sure it’s a bit big, but in my opinion that’s all the more to snuggle with and stay warm. It looks awesome and it will grow with Connor as he grows. Once the twin bunk beds are in place at the end of the Summer, I don’t have to worry about new bedding for him which is a HUGE stress reliever for me! BUT, have no fear, if you do need the bigger Full size bedding, PeeKoo Bedding has that too! Now, the attached sheet…yes you can remove it to wash it, yes it really does stay in place, yes it matches everything since the sheets are solid coordinating colors, and YES, PeeKoo Bedding also sells the matching fitted sheets and pillowcases so no worry on that end either! Check out how to fill your duvet and attach the top sheet here , it’s so simple and the end result is so sharp! Boy Designs or Girl Designs {oh how I love the girlie ones…}, stripes, dots, firetrucks, and more…you’ll find a coordinating PeeKoo Bedding set to match any decor you already have in place or if you’re in the process of creating that big boy/big girl room, start here! And FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $100 with the code LUXE at checkout.
