Creating a Comfortable Sleep Environment with Aden + Anais Crib Sheets

Since my children were young we've used Aden + Anais muslin blankets for just about every thing you could think of; swaddling, shade, nursing cover, blanket, changing mat, burp cloth, play mat,etc. The lightweight and soft, smooth fabric is something that my children fell in love with. They took to their Aden + Anais blankets as one would a lovey (which Aden + Anais carries now!).
So when we started to look for bedding for my daughter's new toddler bed, I was excited to see that Aden + Anais also had a line of crib sheets as well, including an organic option. And they fit our criteria of breathable, cotton, and cute!

Not only are the Aden + Anais line of crib sheets comfortable, they are cute to! With patterns and styles to match their other products, there is sure to be a crib sheet that matches your nursery or toddler room.

We enjoy showing off my daughter's love of pink and nature and went with a cute owl pattern with the For the Birds crib sheet.

Since it's been so hot lately we've simply stripped her bed down to the sheet and a muslin blanket for nap and night time. Makes for a much more comfortable night when she's not going to bed with a heavy mattress and thick cotton sheets.

She loves snuggling up with her "burrs" and stuffed animals. And they go perfectly with our Forest Friends wall decals.

By creating a comfortable sleep environment, we've had much better luck in keeping our daughter in her bed as opposed to waking up multiple times a night. She's so comfy that we hardly hear a peep! And with the heat we've had, it's amazing that she isn't waking up more often. Our daughter is quite the little heater and sweats a LOT when she sleeps!

And since she chose the pattern on her sheets, she loves sleeping on them even more! 

If you are looking for the perfect shower gift other than the perfect crib sheet, I highly suggest checking out the amazing selection of products Aden + Anais offers. Some of our favorites include:

• muslin swaddles (the #1 shower gift I recommend)
  
• towel and washcloth set
• bibs and burp cloths
  
• dream blankets
• security blankets
• sleeping bags

You cannot go wrong gifting an Aden + Anais product to your favorite mum- or dad-to-be!

There are many places to purchase Aden + Anais products, including on their website. You can also find a local store that carries their products by using the website's store locator.

Your little one is sure to fall in love with Aden + Anais just as mine have!

Relaxing with Jaxx and The Soothing Company

The final piece in our toddler bedroom makeover was a place the kids could go to relax, read, and get comfy. I wanted to create a sitting area that they could use as a book nook. And everyone knows that any good book nook needs a nice, soft place to sit or lay down while unraveling tales of fun and adventures. We decided that a Jaxx bean bag chair from The Soothing Company would be the perfect item to add to the room.

The Soothing Company carries a wide variety of bean bags, water features, and much more geared towards creating a soothing and relaxing environment for any area. But since we needed seating we knew that a bean bag would be the way to go.

So we started perusing their large selection and immediately narrowed our search down to two styles of bean bag: the Jaxx Club Jr Bean Bag Chair and the Jaxx Sac Jr Bean Bag Chair.

We went with the Jaxx Club Jr and LOVE it! Not only is it the perfect size for one adult and one child to comfortably sit and read in it, it's also great for... er... other activities...

My son decided that instead of testing out his new chair by quietly reading with Mommy or Daddy he would really test it out. And then he taught my daughter to do the same...

We have since calmed down and have actually resorted to relaxing on our new Jaxx bean bag from The Soothing Company. And it makes a great prop for photos of the kids! I absolutely love how bright it is and how perfect it looks in the kids' room. We're already considering getting a few more for the playroom. They're just so fun!

And I loved how it was shipped out. If the assembly is as fun as the bean bag itself it's just an added bonus! We received a cube of filling along with an inner and outer liner for the beanbag. The cube was super fun to open and dump into the inner liner!

Then I had to wait a few hours for the filling to expand and retain it's original size before putting the outer layer (the green suede) on over the inner layer. And maybe I'm just a big dork but watching the foam expand from a small little cube to a huge bean bag was quite entertaining.

Interested in purchasing a bean bag chair of your own from The Soothing Company?

I'm sure you'll love their selection and styles as well as their reasonable prices.
